The deployment of robots in factories worldwide reached and passed 4 million last year, representing a doubling of robot density over the past seven years. Author: Amy Taylor, Director, Marketing – Industrial, SiTime
Maintaining wind turbines and identifying potential vulnerabilities is expensive and time-consuming, especially when they are located offshore. As a result, rotor blades are often simply replaced, a costly process, when damage is merely suspected. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, working in concert with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, has developed a solution that can be used to identify cracks and breakages inside the blades remotely at an early stage.

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.
LiDAR Technology Detects Conveyor Belt Loads in 3-D
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.
Fast and wear-free short circuit protection for motors
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 Volume3D volume detection system precisely measures the load on conveyor belts using LiDAR sensors, an evaluation unit, and a rotary encoder. It detects volume, volume flow, and many other data while simultaneously monitoring sensor contamination.
Easy-to-operate sensor allows inline print quality assessment
IoT architectures remain heterogeneous despite standards like SMARC® and COM Express®. This complicates integration and increases costs. Middleware abstracts the complexities of hardware, operating systems, and protocols, reducing development time.
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.
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.
Condition monitoring sensor detects magnetic field changes on three axes and opens new application fields
Air traffic and shipping are no longer conceivable without radar technology. Their electromagnetic waves provide extremely reliable signals for object detection and collision protection. What has proven itself over long distances at sea and in the air is just as useful at near range: radar also ensures precision and safety when controlling autonomous vehicles and machine booms. The new radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are optimized for use in the intralogistics and material handling sections, among others.
