Smart separating solution  

Smart separating solution  

Upgrade for your conveying technology
item Industrietechnik GmbH

The smart Release Unit DIN/DOUTโ€ฏ24V from item lets you stop, separate and release small load carriers on roller conveyors with precision, so you can create e.g. fully automated conveyor lines incorporating the selective release of containers. It is parametrised using just an intuitive web interface and a WLAN-capable end device.
Ready-to-Use Kinematics

Ready-to-Use Kinematics

Explore Multi-Link Products
kabkin

Modern engineering demands intelligent motion solutions – from opening and closing to lifting, rotating and deploying. Discover kabkin’s portfolio of ready-to-use multi-link kinematics. Use them directly or adapt them within days to your application, target budget and project deadline. Proven in thousands of industrial applications.
Floating Mate Connectors

Floating Mate Connectors

Blind-mate hybrid power and signal connector
Mouser Electronics

Amphenol Industrial Floating Mate Connectors feature a floating blind-mate design that compensates for alignment tolerances while combining power and signal in one interface. Ideal for battery energy storage, EVs, industrial automation, and modular power systems. Available from Mouser.
Magnetic RJ45 Jacks

Magnetic RJ45 Jacks

Less to route. Less to source.
GCT

GCTโ€™s Magnetic Jacks combine RJ45 connectivity and integrated Ethernet magnetics in one compact connector. Supporting 10/100/1000 Base-T to 2.5G, they help reduce PCB space, simplify layouts and lower BOM complexity, with single, dual and RJ45 + USB-A options available for flexible designs.

Digital Factory Virtual Summit 2026

Digital Factory Virtual Summit 2026

Advancing end-to-end factory transformation
Autodesk

Join the free Digital Factory Virtual Summit on October 8, 2026, and discover how connected data, AI, digital workflows, and end-to-end visibility can transform factory planning, execution, and operations. Hear real-world insights, explore focused sessions, and leave with practical ideas you can put into action.

Reflow Stable PCB connectors

Reflow Stable PCB connectors

Achieve dimensional stability up to 500ยฐC
SV Microwave

SV Microwave offers a suite of Reflow Stable single- and multiport RF PCB connectors in a variety of finishes. They use a glass or epoxy seal instead of traditional PTFE, which can expand during solder reflow and push the connector off the printed circuit board. The Reflow Stable design prevents this issue, keeping the connector flat on the PCB.
