On the occasion of the company's 80th anniversary, IEN Europe spoke to Florian Haas, VP Global Marketing from Traco Power about industrial power supplies and the demands they face now and in the future.
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.
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.
In course of Industry 4.0, Kübler has continued to expand its specially developed Industrial Ethernet portfolio in recent years in order to offer customers maximum functionality with protocols like Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and PROFIsafe. The communication capability of a sensor plays a significant role in ensuring that network communication in the sense of Industry 4.0 is combined with real-time data exchange in the future.
The history of electrolysers begins with the discovery of the basic principles in the late 18th and early 19th century by the British scientists William Nicholson and Michael Faraday. Specifically, that water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical currents.
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.
3A / 600V rating in compact design supports a wide range of motor drives
LoRaWan sensor for integration into IIoT systems
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an additive manufacturing process that has become increasingly important in the 3D printing of metals in recent years. High build rates, wire as an inexpensive and easily available starting material and a highly controllable process are the main advantages. To optimize 3D printing, the Berlin-based 3D printing specialist GEFERTEC records the temperatures in the workpiece using infrared measurement technology from Optris.
The new concept introduces complete speed control for an MV motor in a single energy efficient package for pumps, compressors, fans and other applications across multiple industries
New MV Titanium compact motor and control concept offers game-changing savings of up to 40 percent for energy-intensive sectors looking to slash emissions, like power, renewables, and mining, says Heikki Vepsäläinen, President, ABB Large Motors and Generators.
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...
More than 130,000 visitors from 150 countries, 4,000 exhibiting companies, 300 startups and over 300 economic and political delegations from all over the world. These are the figures that emphasise the fair's position again after five successful days.

Siemens presents innovations for greater efficiency and sustainability from design to condition monitoring at Hannover Messe
To meet net zero CO2 emission goals, the building sector needs to modernize its communication infrastructure. This article shows how single-pair Ethernet, specifically 10BASE-T1L, enables the easy retrofitting of buildings using legacy links like RS-485 to improve digitization, enable automation, improve security, and substantially lower energy consumption to achieve greater sustainability. Author: Meghan Kaiserman, Strategic Marketing Director for Sustainable Buildings at Analog Devices
The measurement of low flow is becoming widely used in many industries. However, the smaller the flow, the trickier it is to control and measure, and finding a suitable flow measuring technology at reasonable cost can prove challenging for both users and flow sensor manufacturers.
