Decarbonising industrial activities is key to mitigating climate change – but what happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we capture? Permanent sequestration can be difficult and expensive: so what if the captured CO2 could be reused to create a value stream? Whether you choose carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilisation (CCUS), filtration technology plays a central role in achieving a high-quality end product.

24V output with 120, 240 or 480 W and power boost
Detecting objects or measuring fill levels while maintaining full communication: Due to these capabilities, the rugged UB*-F42 ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including vehicle detection, consumption measurement for rolls of material, and stock level monitoring in dusty gravel silos. The devices transmit differentiated process and status data via an IOLink interface to ensure optimized control and targeted predictive maintenance.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.
Increased performance in 4U format for industrial applications
Today, vision sensors can be used to implement first-class solutions for many sensor tasks in production, quality assurance, logistics, packaging, and beyond. Raw data sensors offer the greatest possible flexibility in terms of adaptation to special requirements and customer wishes. On the customer side, however, this is associated with a comparatively high programming effort. The SmartRunner Explorer 2-D and 3-D device family from Pepperl+Fuchs shows that this does not have to be the case.
Offering excellent thermal capabilities in a wide operation temperature range
Power management solution enables inductor-less designs
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.
For maximised safety in hydrogen storage and energy applications, including fuel cells
Studying neutrinos is very difficult as they typically pass through most normal matter unimpeded and undetected. Specialist detectors have to be built to hunt for them. The latest one is called JUNO, located 750m below ground in Jiangmen, China. The project is made possible by 17 different countries with 730 scientists working in 74 Universities and national laboratories. To develop the core part of the detector, the liquid scintillator, ultrafast digitizer cards by Spectrum Instrumentation are used.
The climate crisis is driving demand for the electrification of transportation and energy infrastructure, which in turn is accelerating the need for more powerful and safer rechargeable batteries, including li-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state. However, one of the key issues affecting battery quality is accurate humidity monitoring and dry control during manufacture.
With constant voltage and constant current operation and single or three-phase inputs
The degree of automation can vary greatly within the same plant – from very high in the core processes to almost nonexistent in the peripherals. The effort required to wire all circulating containers, external silos, manual valves, safety – critical doors, and manhole covers to the control room would be too great. The WILSEN autonomous IoT wireless sensor node establishes a connection to isolated assets – without any cables – and closes such information gaps.
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.
