In addition, we provide state of the art RFID systems that are tightly integrated with many PLC manufacturers.Our line of limit and pressure switches include the Square D brand, a brand launched in 1902 by the Detroit Fuse and Manufacturing Company. To capitalize on the high recognition of the trademark on its switches (a capital D in a square), the company changed its name to Square D in 1917. By 1964, Square D had 10,000 employees and 22 plants. By 1991 (when it joined the Telemecanique Sensors team), it had 18,500 employees with operations in 23 countries.In 1924, the French company Telemecanique invented the first contactor and quickly expanded its business to become a leading industrial control and automation specialist. Telemecanique moved outside of France early in its history and, by 1988, had 14,500 employees, 32 subsidiaries outside of France, 4,100 sales outlets, and sales of 1.2 billion Euros.The combination of these two brands gives Telemecanique Sensors a powerful and unparalleled sensor solutions offering. More importantly, the same commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation that launched and established the Telemecanique Sensors and Square D brands is still perpetuated today by those who have inherited and are building upon that rich, successful history.

Unlike traditional industrial robots that stay hardwired in a cage, UR’s lightweight robots can be moved around, automating high mix/low volume production runs. Innovative force-sensing technology makes the robot stop operating if it encounters an employee, eliminating the need for safety guarding in most scenarios. “The out-of-box experience” with a collaborative UR robot is typically less than an hour. That’s the time it takes an untrained operator to unpack the robot, mount it, and program its first simple tasks.Programming is intuitive; even beginning users simply grab the robot arm to teach the desired movements, or use the easy-to-program touch screen. Product portfolio includes the UR3, UR5, UR10 – and the exciting new UR16 – robot arms named after their payloads in kilos, they all feature 0.1 mm repeatability and span in reach from 19.7” in to 51.2”. Average payback period is typically 10 months.See Universal Robots in action at: www.universal-robots.com/case-stories/.To learn more, or book a robot demo in your facility, visit: www.universal-robots.com.www.universal-robots.comEmail: sales@universal-robots.comPhone: 844/463-62685430 Data Ct, Suite 300, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 USAUniversal RobotsRobotics 145Document_2020_LIAProfiles.indd 145Document_2020_LIAProfiles.indd 1451/20/20 3:59 PM1/20/20 3:59 PMSee all the Leaders in Automation at www.automationworld.com/leadersAdvertisementWAGO Corporation provides North America with innovative Interconnect, Electronic Interface, and Automation solutions.
