As CPUs grow more powerful, high-density cooling becomes increasingly important. Heat pipes are a sought-after solution in this area, their performance can only be increased by keeping an eye on the overall system.
Many vacuum systems still rely on analog gauges because they are simple and reliable. But digital gauges offer advantages in communication, diagnostics, and system integration. Find out when switching to digital vacuum measurement makes sense.
Conventional condition-monitoring systems detect bearing damage only after wear such as pitting or material loss has already occurred. HCP Sense takes a decisive step further: instead of monitoring the consequences of damage, the technology identifies its root causes at a very early stage. By directly detecting critical lubrication conditions before physical damage occurs, premature bearing failures can be actively prevented.
Elesa S.p.A. further develops its offering for modular tubular structures with the TCC series, a system of connection clamps designed to combine mechanical strength, versatility and ease of use.
The conservation organization Project Seagrass and Tandem Ventures have joined forces to design, develop, build, and test an underwater harvesting machine. Onshape enables the team to collaborate in real time, even from a boat.

IEN Europe spoke with Dr. Malte Köhler, Head of Technologies, about the development of the company’s nanoscale force and temperature sensor
Resolve Optics Ltd. is a highly respected developer of custom zoom lenses for optical instrument manufacturers and systems integrators.
PLC Control Meets IIoT Cloud
The AX-1 robot from Norwegian start-up Kilter applies herbicides to weeds with such precision that the use of chemicals is reduced by up to 95% thanks to AI and sensor technology. To ensure that the autonomous helper is also gentle on the soil, the developers rely on lightweight and lubricationfree linear technology from the igus drylin series.
Flexible, modular workpiece transport can bring valuable extra speed to automated assembly with free pallets. Scalability is also enhanced, while built-in tracking provides traceability data to meet the requirements of demanding industries such as automotive.
Ensure accurate measurements and safe processes by overcoming the challenges of precision flow metering
For fast, stable and precise short-range measurement
Adaptive, real-time control in a high-mix, temperature-sensitive environment - this was the challenge faced by Rutland Plastics in automating the insertion of M8 brass inserts into plastic assemblies with a heat-staking process.
Tailored magnification designed with manual or motorized adjustment
From Pasture to Pot: Preserving Nature’s Goodness
congatec becomes 96% shareholder in JUMPtec GmbH by means of a capital increase and acquires the module subsidiaries in the USA and Malaysia.
Compact and flexible sensor for safety, process control, and condition monitoring
For proactive maintenance of air systems and detection of energy saving potentials
For long-distance detection of objects
Providing safe material flow in the field, the new DMM4 muting module from SICK Sensor Intelligence provides safe human-material differentiation to improve protection and productivity in industrial settings.
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
he Packaging Competence Centre (PCC) is a joint venture between packaging machinery manufacturer Gerhard Schubert GmbH and Berlin-based packaging consultancy Berndt+Partner Group. The new organisation brings together experts in the fields of regulation, packaging design, materials and automation technology to support manufacturers to develop and implement sustainable packaging.
Versatile optoelectronic sensors for easy integration
Magnetic detent mechanism for optimized feedback
Different fork widths available for contact-free scanning of sound-impermeable materials
Particularly in the field of precision manufacturing, many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier's expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech's real work begins: after a detailed integration consultation, customers receive either individual components, a seamlessly integrated subsystem or a complete automation solution.
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.
The newly developed D-Ankle prosthesis from Design Pro Technology makes this possible. Instead of the usual passive suspension at the foot components, the prosthesis assists its user by means of motor power. As is the case with a natural gait, the artificial foot is actively bent up and down with each step. The gait becomes more harmonious, more stable and less tiring. An intelligent controller finds the correct gait rhythm and a brushless motor from FAULHABER provides the necessary propulsion.
Integrated angle measurement for enhanced path following
Simple set-up and configuration with USB-C interface
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
Machines and systems are becoming more and more intelligent – and in many cases more complex as a result. This makes it all the more important that the processes in production are transparent and comprehensible at all times so that the teams in production and maintenance can make the right decisions. This is the only way to exploit the full potential of networked manufacturing environments.
