Continuous Flexing Control Cable
Continuous flexing CF5 and CF6 multi-conductor control cables from igus are specifically designed, tested, and manufactured to be exposed to constant flexing; providing a cable service life between 5 million and 10 million cycles. Starting at $10.25 for a 20-foot coil, igus Chainflex® cables are available with 3 to 25 unshielded (CF5 series) or 4 to 12 shielded (CF6 series) conductors in 20 AWG to 14 AWG sizes. Chainflex cable is sold in 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500 ft. lengths. Individual conductors are bare copper and stranded for flexing applications. Conductor insulation is high-quality black TPE or PVC, and cable outer jackets are flame retardant and resistant to sunlight and oil penetration. Chainflex cables have a unique jacket tear strip that allows the outer jacket to be easily stripped back from the conductors to the desired length.

Extended Sensing Range AC Powered Inductive Proximity Sensors
New V3 series AC powered proximity sensors are now available in 8, 12, 18 and 30mm sizes with extended sensing ranges. These sensors operate on 20-250 VAC/VDC input voltage with N.O. and N.C. output options available. The sensors are short-circuit protected and have a yellow LED status indicator that is output energized. Sensing distances range from 2mm shielded and 4mm unshielded for 8mm sensors to 12mm shielded and 18mm unshielded for 30mm sensors. Axial cable and 1/2 in. micro AC quick-disconnect models are available and all sensors are IP67 protection rated. AC powered V3 series sensors start at $37.00 and are backed by a lifetime warranty.

More Discrete I/O Modules for Productivity2000 PLCs
The Productivity2000 PLC system now has 50 discrete and analog I/O modules providing over 400 local I/O points. With remote expansion, over 4,000 total I/O points are available. New DC discrete I/O modules (starting at $50.00) include 8-, 16- and 32-point, 12-24 VDC, sink/source modules with additional isolated commons. Two for the 8- and 16-point modules and four isolated commons for the 32-point module. The Productivity2000 is a modular, rack-based system with a full lineup of discrete, analog and specialty I/O modules. The high-performance CPU has 50Mb memory, fast scan times and five communication ports for $255. Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports support programming and client/server connections (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP). Free Productivity Suite software features tag name memory addressing and ladder logic with function block programming.

New Safety Mats, Edges and Relays from ASO Safety Solutions
ASO innovative safety mats, edges and specialized safety relays protect people and machinery from harm. Safety mats detect the presence of personnel on horizontal surfaces (usually the floor). ASO safety mats provide a wide horizontal detection area for personnel. The safety function is triggered when a person steps on the mat. Tapered or straight edge styles allow configuration flexibility. ASO safety mats start at $285.00. Starting at $36.00, safety edges can be used on any surface, usually near possible crushing or shearing points and are touch-sensitive devices that detect presence at possible danger points. The safety function is triggered when a person or object contacts the edge. The ASO Safety Solutions safety relay module ($181.00) is a specialized relay used to wire both mats and edges for fail-safe triggering of the intended safety function.
