Starting end of December, 2009, machine safety technology must meet the requirements of ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061. For the first time, there will now be concrete regulations for the configuration and programming of electric and electronic systems in a standard that applies to machine manufacturing. Reason enough to take a closer look at their content and impact.
Electric and electronic safety products are vital components in a machine's safety chain. With the increasing complexity of machine automation and the higher demands on the safety technology with respect to protection against...
Pressure pulsations in hydraulic systems generate disturbing noise. At the same time, body and fluid borne sound can place the hydraulic system under load. The main causes of it are hydraulic (positive displacement) pumps. As a result, fuel injection pumps in motor vehicles, for example, must be tested for smooth running in the relevant system.
In the course of the necessary steep pressure rise to as high as 2000 bar, the pressure pulsations proliferate and may be reflected at line ends. Such reflections disturb precise measurement of the actual pump pulsation. A hydraulic damping resistor...
The butterfly wing scales templating procedure is a facile and economic design for the synthesis of hierarchically periodic microstructure titania photoanode without the need for complicated experimental conditions or equipments, such as photo lithography adopted. The quasi honey-comb structure titania replica photoanode has a perfect light absorptivity and higher surface area, which give great advantages to the light harvesting efficiency and dye sorption. This structure gives the butterfly ultrablackness wings, so it is convincing that we could obtain potential ultra-absorptivity photoanode...
Steel body or aluminum frame? Magnesium interior or plastic interior? Wood trim or carbon accents? The selection of the materials used in automobile manufacturing is as great today as the expectations of the automobile purchasers. In the end, the car has become much more than a simple mode of transportation for most customers - it has become a status symbol that should be equally high value as well as individual.
In order to be able to meet the growing expectations of customers and simultaneously ensure efficient production, the automobile production lines have to be constantly modified,...
From a rollercoaster to water pumps and compressors; WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are providing safe and efficient operation of all types of equipment at Beto Carrero World; the largest theme park in Latin America.
When considering electric motor usage, most people think about the industrial sector and nothing else. This is wrong, of course, because electric motors are used just about everywhere. For example, when people go to a theme park for entertainment, it is electric motors which provide the drive functions for the rides and attractions. This is the case at the Beto Carrero...

It is hot at the iron and steel works company Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann (HKM) in Duisburg, Germany. As one of the leading steel manufacturers in Europe, HKM delivers so-called preliminary products used in steel processing, so-called slabs or billets (round steel bars), to its partners, such as Thyssen Krupp Steel AG. In order to manufacture these, continuously glowing hot, melted metal must be transported, mixed, and processed. The raw materials required for steel production are transported in tough steel tubs, what are called pig iron ladles, through the huge warehouse and production halls....
SRB Split Roller Bearings from UK manufacturer, Revolvo Ltd, are playing a major role in the operation of the recently re-opened Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. The SRB heavy duty 240 mm split bearing units are used on underground coal handling conveyors, due to their inherent ability to be replaced quickly - around 90% faster than solid bearings – and their sealing system, which optimises bearing life in the harsh mining environment.
The Hatfield Colliery reopened in May 2006, by accessing 27 million tonnes of high quality reserves in the Barnsley seam, and Longwall coal face production has...

IEN: Mr Merklein, your company has been successfully on the market for more than 100 years now. Could you please give us a brief overview over Nexans’ history, as well as the milestones in the product portfolio?
Merklein: The history of Nexans is highly linked with break-through innovations and new technologies that bring value to the customer. The basis of the company was the invention of waterproof cables applying a coating of lead over paper by François Borel. In 1897 the new Société Française de Câbles industrialized this technology. This company became Alcatel Cable in 1991 after a long history of Mergers and Acquisitions adding technological expertise to the group. From optical fiber cables over halogen-free flame retardant materials to processes like cross-linking, the group was always a pioneer of its industry. After the spin-off from Alcatel in 2000, Nexans took over companies like Olex (Australia) or Madeco (Chile) to
