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.
When testing wheelchairs, manufacturers play it safe for understandable reasons. That is why three aspiring mechanical engineers took no risks when they developed a drop test construction for wheelchairs on behalf of the renowned German company MEYRA. They relied on miniature shock absorbers made by ACE to protect the inner life of their construction.
The grand opening, which took place on the 23rd of April, reinforces the commitment to support European innovation while expanding the presence in Western Europe.
New contacts with a diameter of 1.6 and 2.0mm for high-voltage assignments
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...
Regal Rexnord, announces that the LEESON brand of Regal Rexnord will expand significantly as Marathon® NEMA® AC induction motors below 182T frame size are welcomed into the LEESON products family.
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.
Expensive machine and vehicle breakdowns due to undetected faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearings. Their special feature is that the bearings, which are made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic, are equipped with miniature wireless sensors, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
With the rapid advancements in technology, there is increasing consumer demand for innovative, smart, and connected products that need to get to market more quickly, cost effectively and sustainably. Today, manufacturers must deliver on these expectations as they deal with increasing design and production complexity, as well as global supply-chain issues that impact time-to-market.
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.
Innovative online tool for individual designs with a wide range of characteristics
IEN Europe spoke to Hubertus von Monschaw, Global Director Trade Fair and Product Management HANNOVER MESSE at Deutsche Messe AG, about the current challenges facing the industry and HANNOVER MESSE 2024.
Siemens and UL Solutions demonstrate how digital twin technology could accelerate product development and certification.
Smart connectors facilitate the remote digital monitoring of installations. TE Connectivity (TE) and tacterion have partnered to develop these cutting-edge components. The first joint steps involve designing outstanding connectors for modular machines used in smart factories. Taking into account early customer feedback, the portfolio will undergo continuous expansion and enhancement.
Today, the majority of consumer goods and everyday items are made from petroleum-based plastics. In Germany alone, around six million tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. About half of this is mechanically recycled into new materials; the rest is used for energy recovery. The incineration of this waste results in the release of CO2, a greenhouse gas. It is therefore important to keep more plastics in the material cycle for climate and environmental reasons. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes are developing new ideas and processes to significantly improve the mechanical recycling rate of plastics as part of the Waste4Future flagship project.

Keys for a future-proof industrial production
The new year brings change in the management of the machine vision specialist from Neckarsulm/Germany
Deutsche Messe is once again inviting entries for the HERMES AWARD, the important industrial prize that will be presented at the opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on 21 April
A trip to the ADI Catalyst™ in Limerick, Ireland, was one of the highlights of this year in the professional life of the TIMGlobal editorial team. You can find there not only one of the major fabrication sites for the worldwide semiconductor business, but also the ADI Catalyst™ – a collaboration hub “that builds ecosystems and resolves the toughest challenges”.
Product family of electromechanical drive systems for industry
In an interview with Rob Watkinson, Customer Support Manager at Resolve Optics, we discussed key considerations when designing and supplying high quality fixed focus and zoom lenses to be deployed for military use in demanding battlefield environments.
Leak detection, fundamentals, energy management, troubleshooting
The push for digitalization has greatly changed the world of work and opened up new opportunities. Augmented Reality (AR) technology is now increasingly in use at LAPP, for example, in production and supply chain management.
A commitment to providing customers with compressed air at low life cycle costs
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.
