Allied Electronics & Automation supplies HARTING’s award-winning Han® 1A connector series, which is widely acclaimed for the space savings, time savings, and versatility granted by its miniature, modular, rectangular form factor with power, signal, and data capabilities and snap-in mating technology. Han 1A connectors require up to 30% less space than HARTING’s next smallest modular industrial connector, the Han 3A, and are made of robust, chemical-resistant plastic engineered to withstand rugged industrial and transportation environments, which also makes them lightweight and economical. This unique combination of characteristics earned the series a prestigious 2020 iF Design Award in the electrical connector product category and caters to both miniaturization and automation trends in the machinery, robotics, transportation, wind energy, and energy storage industries.
The Battery Mount ZCASE® Fuse Holder with Busbar (BMZB) series allows you to mount fusing directly to a post-style battery terminal. This series offers a compact solution with an integrated busbar, which consolidates complex wiring around a battery system, eliminating or reducing the need for additional wiring. By creating additional fusing locations outside of the main fuse box, these products help reduce cabling and assembly time and provide localized circuit protection without modifying the existing battery harness.
For safe protection zone monitoring of robotics applications, particularly in rugged environments, another sensor is now available for the safe radar system PSENradar: PSEN rd1.2 with the equally new analyzing unit PSEN rd1.0 I/O PS ETH, which covers Category 3 / PL d. So, in conjunction with the modular safety relay myPNOZ, you have a safe, complete solution for safeguarding robotics applications. Example applications include rear access protection in metalworking, safe woodworking thanks to protection zone monitoring, using radar sensors to safeguard outdoor applications, and more.

The new, PanZone® TrueEdge™ Wall Mount Enclosure greatly reduces network downtime and delivers a variety of customization opportunities to ensure ease and reliability.
Upgrading from Category 6 to 6A can be difficult due to differences in size as larger cable is harder to work with and requires more space in pathways. With the same diameter as a Category 6 cable, the Vari-MaTriX HD Category 6A copper cable simplifies upgrades by allowing you to utilize your same infrastructure. It's time to make the switch from Category 6 to the easy-to-install, cost effective, Category 6A Vari-MaTriX HD cable.

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL
Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
