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.
Optical and magnetic encoders with integrated energy harvesting
Next-Generation Energy Storage Solutions
Agricultural autonomy isn’t just about removing the driver; it’s about creating intelligent machines capable of locating themselves, interpreting their surroundings, and acting in real-time, even under challenging conditions.
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.
Optical absolute encoder with integrated energy harvesting
Robust and versatile encoders from MEGATRON optimize the intralogistics of autonomous transport vehicles. Whether with integrated CAN bus connection, locally programmable teach-in function or energy harvesting: the encoders offer maximum flexibility for the respective application.
Smaller, more efficient, and aesthetically enhanced OPV modules for sustainable, battery-free IoT and industrial applications
Kollmorgen servo motors are now available with a new generation feedback device. Offered at no additional cost over erlier models, this encoder offers four times greater positioning accuracy and uses energy-harvesting technology to track absolute multi-turn positioning even when the system is powered off.
200C Discharge C-Rate and quick recharge offer opportunities in new applications
The opportunity to attend the 137th session of the China Import and Export Fair is a new and interesting experience for me. It is new after nearly twenty years of attending European B-2-B events.
Realising a compact harvesting vehicle with energy chains
Optical and magnetic versions with Ethernet interfaces
Power management solution enables inductor-less designs
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently developed a temperature sensor that can harvest and store the energy from the magnetic field that exists in the open air around a wire. As a result, this could allow sensors to operate in the most remote settings and — importantly — without batteries.
Compact, flat, and lightweight models with high resolution and fine accuracy
To address market demands and deliver value-adding products to its customers, Lika Electronic chose to develop new encoders compatible with network technologies from the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA).
IEN Europe talked to Matthias Ortner, General Manager at NKE Austria and Hugo Santos, CBDO at Fersa Group, the NKE parent company and Pedro Pablo Andreu Fersa COO.
Ideal for servomotors and motors, for weight-sensitive, confined space applications through minimum footprint
Richard Bethell, Technical Director at Solid State Supplies, discusses use cases for outdoor energy harvesting photovoltaic (PV) cells and the far-reaching capabilities they provide for remote monitoring.
The reduction of the transmission pressure of natural gas networks to supply customers results in significant energy losses. Pilot project will use a turbine in the pipeline to drive an ABB generator that will recover lost energy to produce electricity
Recent advances in technology have unlocked unprecedented modalities of capturing the physical world in digital form. One of those modalities is light detection and ranging, or LIDAR.
Having the IIoT monitoring a machine’s health status helps enable predictive maintenance, which allows industries to anticipate breakdowns and realize substantial operational savings
Made of PBAT polymer which biodegrades in soil
Through its IoT Digital Experiments platform, Adlink is helping a major global power generation company increase asset health and drive efficiency of its gas turbines
In the digital transition, also (intra)logistics must be considered as one of the most important elements to ensure the competitiveness of a company on the market. IoT projects should be economically viable and encourage a pragmatic approach
In 2019, industrial robots are so well integrated and established that their capabilities have become the norm, rather than something that turns heads in factories. Here is how the top 10 industries have moved on to the arrival of collaborative robots
Draws a stable 3.3V from a AA battery down to voltages as low as 0.65V
