With just a week to go, the SPS – Smart Production Solutions is set to showcase the industry's innovative strength, with around 1,170 exhibitors ready to present their products and services.
Ideal for mobile machines with CANopen
David Hawley, ABB’s Global Head of Sales for IEC Low Voltage Motors, notes that while superior performance, reliability & efficiency are essential factors influencing electric motor selection, availability is also key to achieving ambitious energy goals
New release brings more features for diagnostics of PLC-controlled systems
From fertilizer to energy source of the future
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.
Strenghtening of partnership on local production of Computer-on-Modules
Magnetic detent mechanism for optimized feedback
The Model 357 radiation resistant zoom lens is available in a motorised format for use with radiation tolerant cameras.
Automatic object detection is growing ever more sophisticated, yet the accurate detection of humans still poses unique challenges. This article explores what it is that makes humans so difficult to reliably detect, and how successfully navigating these obstacles could usher in a new era of productivity.
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.
Alessandro Gomarasca, Product Development Manager at Servotecnica, discussed with our editorial team a distribution agreement that promises to integrate skills and technologies, opening new horizons in the European market.
Smart Production Solutions, the year-end highlight for the automation industry, will take place in Nuremberg from 12-14 November 2024. Exhibitors and potential customers have attended this platform for over three decades.
Variable aluminium housing in various PCB formats
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.
Acquisition of Födisch Group will expand ABB’s position in industrial emission measurement.
The German sensor company and the Swiss measurement and automation technology specialist have agreed on a strategic partnership. Endress+Hauser will take over worldwide sales and service of SICK’s process analyzers and gas flowmeters, with a joint venture to be established for their production and further development.
3D printed material should part of a lunar mission for performance testing and confirmation of earth-bound test results
Monitored changeover is an opportunity to optimise machines, reduce sources for potential errors and making them intuitive and quick to operate.
Researchers at the University of Dresden (Germany) choose Specialised Imaging Kirana ultra-high speed video camera following a head-to-head comparison against alternative commercially available cameras.
It is not a revelation to anyone in the industry that energy is the largest operating expense, accounting for the majority of utility costs. In manufacturing processes using compressed air, air compressors consume approximately 12% of the total electrical energy, and over the lifespan of an air compressor, 80% of the cost is energy use, and 20% is the cost of the unit including maintenance. Energy...
One-, two-, and three-channel models supplying up to 32 V, 10 A and 100 W DC power
Today, every large event includes an elaborate laser show. Laser projections are used at trade fairs, in advertising, art, and at architectural events. The magically glowing light patterns are made possible by highly complex technology, and at many of the most spectacular installations this technology is provided by Berlinbased LaserAnimation Sollinger. When it comes to the alignment of beams and the creation of effects, motors from FAULHABER play an important role for their laser projectors.
The ebm-papst IDT-division ia a supplier forintelligent mechatronic systems and employs around 650 people
Siemens and UL Solutions demonstrate how digital twin technology could accelerate product development and certification.
Vibration/shock tested for use in military and space applications
This ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR follows the August 17, 2023 announcement that TE Connectivity will launch an all cash public tender offer for all publicly held registered shares of Schaffner for CHF 505 per share (the "Offer").
Adopted for use in N-net, contributing to mitigation of disaster damage
Through applications in aerospace and defence, a motion solution that delivers high power density in a small package is a common requirement. However, integrating a gearmotor means an assurance of reliability is crucial.
The upcoming tradeshow will be offering special guided tours, a dedicated discussion format and numerous company exhibits featuring AI tools and use cases – from robotics to production cells.
Meet the very strict requirements for a lens or optical system to be considered space-ready in a growing range of applications including remote sensing or surveillance
Through an extensive library of lens designs and nuclear industry specialists, Resolve Optics offer custom radiation tolerant lens to exactly match the camera or sensor, and application.
Advantech will showcase its extensive product portfolio with a series of live demos on three key topics: AI, 5G & LoRaWAN Connectivity and Edge computing.
Designing and producing optics for use in space is a highly specialised area where expertise and experience are critical. IEN Europe discussed the overall challenges with Mark Pontin, Managing Director at Resolve Optics.
Dave Palmer, General Manager at ICS Cool Energy summarizes the main reasons provoking production downtime, and how manufacturers can future-proof their temperature control equipment against these unplanned effects.
This acquisition will enhance PTC’s strength in next-generation application lifecycle management (ALM)
