HARTING supplies rigid or flexible cable assemblies for data transmission in ISO/IEC 11801 Categories 5, 6 and 7 for a range of environmental conditions. Versions suitable for use in drag chains are available, as well as oil resistant, high robust or halogen-free variants. These cabling systems offering a choice of cable lengths, PVC or PUR overmolded cables or cables with internal shielding can be used in a wide range of applications. All assembled cables are optimized and are 100% tested for their electrical and mechanical properties in order to guarantee consistently high quality.
The electrically-activated LZ-E clamping elements of the LOCKED Series from ACE are suitable for 15 mm size Bosch rails. These clamping elements work according to the wedge principle ensuring that the holding and clamping force is amplified using the force of gravity acting through the Z-axis. This makes a secure clamping of loaded axes possible in case of gravity-loaded diagonal or linear axes, in tool production machines or in the vertical axes of handling units, after controlled switch-off or emergency switch-off. These clamping elements are designed for the highest retention forces...
Displacement measurement in a hydraulic cylinder is a challenging task since a reasonable solution cannot often be easily found. For example, for truck-mounted cranes a load torque limiter is required in order to comply with health and safety regulations. Previously, the crane could only be operated when the hydraulic supports were fully extended. Today, a displacement measurement on the hydraulic cylinder can enable dynamic load torque limitation. Previously, this measurement could only be resolved reliably with some reservations. Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik has provided a completely new approach...
With over a million industrial robots in operation worldwide, and 100,000 new units added yearly, automation is continuing to expand dramatically, especially in Asia. Machine tools are also evolving, often merging with robotics in terms of complexity and intelligence.
What has often gone unappreciated is the role cables play in increasing the mobility and sense, operational speed, networking, compactness, safety and eco-friendliness of today’s production lines. This contribution can take many forms: from reliability and survivability in tough conditions subject to vibration and movement,...
Applications that need to meet stringent outgassing requirements now have more adhesive options than ever.
One of the most common issues addressed by our technical service department nowadays involves the outgassing characteristics of adhesives and related encapsulation and sealing compounds. And that’s understandable because a growing number of high-tech industries have discovered that their products and manufacturing processes can be sensitive to outgassed chemical compounds. As a result, there has been a dramatic upswing in the use of adhesives, encapsulants and sealants that have...
Electronic drive and control equipment plays an important part for control technology in modern plants. There are, however, many applications in which pneumatics can show is advantages, for instance in positioning and testing processes. Proportional valves are available for this. They function with high precision.
Pneumatic regulating systems have been in use in process engineering for a long time. In machine and plant engineering, there are also many applications of such systems. Aircom Pneumatic offers you, in its broad range of pneumatic regulating devices, many components for such...
Sprint Electric has supplied digital DC drives for the control system in a steel mill in Turkey. The retrofit has resulted in improved output, reduced waste and less down time. The Turkish company Kocaer Haddecilik, founded in the early 1960’s, is a producer of profiled steel products: T-bars, square bars, flat bars and custom window profiles. Kocaer Haddecilik needed to increase the production capacity of their facility based in Aliaga, Izmir, Turkey. They contracted VIB Otomasyon, a Turkish company specialized in automation and drives solutions, and their system integration partner Teori Elektrik....
A new high-speed inspection system has been developed for the automotive industry, which monitors the quality of polyurethane (PU) beads as they are applied to glass during vehicle assembly. The BeadMonitor measurement system, developed by Abingdon-based Oxford Sensor Technology, measures the height and width of PU bead as it is applied to the edges of the vehicle glass. The sensor head is mounted on the robot arm, directly behind the applicator nozzles. The system is based on Micro-Epsilon’s scanCONTROL 2700 non-contact laser profile displacement sensor.

Electrical power, water and telecommunication networks are growing. On the other hand, the distribution systems required for that are disappearing from the picture more and more. They have outlived their usefulness a long time ago. The reason for this apparent contradiction can be found in the products of joint cooperation between the two companies Langmatz and ACE.
No, they are not especially attractive, these gray, bulky distribution enclosures in the overall image locally and in the city. However, somehow one gets accustomed to the sight of them because, in the end, we...
For developers, reducing friction in internal combustion engines is now a high priority. By replacing plain bearings in the engine with rolling bearings, significant advantages can be gained, including reductions in CO2 emissions.
In the push to develop more efficient vehicle drive systems, minimising friction in drive train components is critical. Replacing sliding bearings with rolling bearings, for example, can provide significant improvements in energy efficiency. Despite these potential benefits, rolling bearings, which were once widespread in engine designs, have been...

IEN: Commenting on the first quarter 2010, your CEO John McFarland stated that “business improved…and will continue to improve”, and expects Q2 to be 8-12% higher than 2009. Which industries recovered fastest, and what are the best-sellers?
Schlosser: In Europe, the industries recovering most rapidly are automation, automotive, electronics, oil and gas, and air handling. Traditionally, Baldor is strong here in automation and servos/motion-control, and industrial motors for the oil and gas sector. Our mechanical products are well known in the air handling and food and beverage sectors. Due to increased economic activity, the best selling products for us are all flavours of motion control, housed bearings, and NEMA motors for Europe's machinery exporters - a market stimulated by the USA's new EISA efficiency demands.
IEN: Is this recovery worldwide, or do you see regional differences?

The world PLC market, which had been hit hard by the world recession during 2009, has turned to a slight recovery in 2010. According to the latest edition of the report “The World Market for PLCs” from IMS Research, the world PLC market was estimated at $6.3 million in 2009; and is forecast to increase by $0.3 billion in 2010. However, revenues are not forecast to return to the 2008 level until 2012.
According to market analyst Alex Hong, “Some uncertain factors still remain. For example, with concerns over sovereign debt in several countries in Europe, and with government austerity measures...
The Schaeffler Group has mastered the worst economic crisis in recent times. Sales rose 31% in the first half of 2010 to around €4.6 billion (compared to around €3.5 billion in the same period the previous year). From business operations over the first six months, Schaeffler generated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €739 million (€108 million). The EBIT margin went up to around 16 percent (3 percent) and is thus above the long-term average. Both divisions – Automotive and Industrial – increased sales and significantly improved results: In the Automotive division EBIT rose...
