High power in compact, low-noise package
For precise temperature measurement from -50 °C to 1050 °C
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
Adaptive, real-time control in a high-mix, temperature-sensitive environment - this was the challenge faced by Rutland Plastics in automating the insertion of M8 brass inserts into plastic assemblies with a heat-staking process.

From Pasture to Pot: Preserving Nature’s Goodness
By leveraging a digital twin and the AI-powered, fully automated software solution from Factor4Solutions, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe were able to reduce the annual energy consumption of the existing refrigeration system at the GartenCarée complex by 20 percent within just the first six months of operation – significantly increasing its efficiency. And the full potential is far from reached: for an entire year of operation, the utility expects energy savings of up to 40 percent.

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.
In this IEN Europe interview with Rob Watkinson, Sales Manager at Resolve Optics, we discuss the advantages of bespoke lenses for scientific applications and the company's experience and expertise in this area
Sulzer and Hyme Energy partner on revolutionary molten salt energy storage
Increased performance in 4U format for industrial applications
We spoke to Torsten Czech, Head of Marketing at Optris, about the history of more than 20 years of temperature measurement.
With push-in wire terminations for automated assembly
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 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.
Condition monitoring - a wide-ranging area of ever-increasing importance. An increasing number of machines and systems are being equipped with measurement technology to keep a constant eye on their current status and all important operating parameters. To save time and costs during maintenance, condition-based monitoring is increasingly being installed on smaller assets.
Premium motors go beyond state-of-the-art energy efficiency to deliver a combination of performance, reliability and commitment to sustainability tailored to suit a wide range of industrial operations. The latest addition to the portfolio is the world’s first magnet-free motor to reach the anticipated IE6 hyper-efficiency level.
For most demanding embedded computing applications
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.
