You may have heard that push-in terminals can save you time during control panel wiring. See it for yourself in this comparison video. 👇 #IDEC #ControlPanelWiring #TerminalWiring #PushIn #EasyWiring #Timelapse

Have you seen how fast push-in terminal wiring can be? 👀 In our socket wiring timelapse video below, the difference is clear. #IDEC #ControlPanelWiring #TerminalWiring #PushIn #EasyWiring #Timelapse

Behind every intuitively arranged control panel, there are tens – or hundreds – of wires connecting input and output devices. Terminal blocks keeps these wires in place and neatly organized. Many IDEC products feature push-in terminals for added convenience, finger-safe protection, and vibration resistance. In this week’s IDEC article, you’ll find: - information on installing devices with push-in terminals on your control panel, - quick, step-by-step guides to inserting and removing push-in terminal wires, and - timelapse videos showing just how quick and easy the wiring process can be. #IDEC #ControlPanelWiring #TerminalWiring #PushIn #VibrationResistance #EasyWiring

👀 In case you missed it… 👀 Watch #AssistWheelDrive and #SafetyWheelDrive in action! Both were demonstrated (as part of demo units) by IDEC during #LogisTechTokyo2024 earlier this month. 🍿 Assist Wheel Drive helps workers move heavy carts on inclines (e.g. ramps). Electric power assistance means no physical exertion is needed on the uphill climb. In either direction – especially downhill, when the risk of a runaway cart is high – the Assist Wheel Drive’s braking system can bring the cart to a complete stop. These features and more help to prevent workplace accidents and injuries. #IDEC #Innovation #Logistics #IndustrialSolutions #TradeShow2024

📰 Event Report: Logis-Tech Tokyo 2024 📰 IDEC recently attended Logis-Tech Tokyo 2024, one of the largest Material Handling and Logistics trade shows in Asia. Thanks again to everyone who visited the IDEC booth! Logis-Tech Tokyo is a major international event for the manufacturing, logistics, and industrial automation industries. The 2024 show was the biggest yet – 580 companies exhibiting at 3,241 booths, and over 70,000 visitors across 4 days. This year, IDEC exhibited various products and concepts under the theme “Create a safe work environment in logistics where humans and robots collaborate.” 🤝 Among the innovations we brought to Logis-Tech Tokyo, the Safety Wheel Drive (SWD) system was a star of the show. SWD is a pioneering technology for AGVs and AMRs. The built-in motor and safety controls ensure reliable performance (and ISO 3691-4 compliance). We used SWD to show just how easy building AGVs/AMRs can be. Here, we’ll highlight 2 demo units: the EZW-CUBE and the SWD BuildKit. Logis-Tech Tokyo visitors had an exclusive opportunity to get the first look at both units in action. 🟨 EZW-CUBE 🟨: The maximum transferrable load of 70kg is ideal for day-to-day factory floor operations. The EZW-CUBE uses Panasonic Advanced Technology Development Co., Ltd’s @mobi software package for AMRs (Japan market only), which works together with a PLC. Users can generate floor maps and set travel routes using the intuitive GUI – no ROS robot programming knowledge required. 🛠 SWD BuildKit 🛠: The frame on display at the exhibition was designed to hold a maximum transferrable load of 300kg. The frame can be customized for specific on-site applications. The BuildKit has the same basic structure as the EZW-CUBE. It can be controlled from the PLC with @mobi, and the AMR can be controlled with ladder programming. You can see both demo units and more from Logis-Tech Tokyo 2024 in the photos below.
