Configurable without programming skills, the MELSOFT VIXIO AI-powered visual inspection software is revolutionising quality assurance across industries.
For industry and automation applications with high demands for real-time performance
The transition to 'smarter' technologies is gathering pace in all sectors of industry, and wherever motion control applications require smooth and efficient movement, 'smart' bearings have emerged as a revolutionary innovation. So what are smart bearings?
Servo drive series with AI offers ultra-precise automatic tuning to complement expert skills
Unitronics, an automation provider with a 35-year track record of excellence, offers a simple approach: deliver a full suite of industrial automation products with transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and functionality that works out of the box.
Working with specialist UV camera manufacturer – Resolve Optics developed a novel UV zoom lens that enabled remote viewing of a nuclear fuel assembly through 10-metres of water.
Forced-air cooled supply for medical and industrial applications
Compact measuring device for complete bus physics testing
Industrial cameras with Sony's Starvis 2 sensors help unlock the potential of planetary imaging
Fast and wear-free short circuit protection for motors
Affordable connectivity for large distances of up to 1.000 m in large plants
Particularly in the field of precision manufacturing, many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier's expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech's real work begins: after a detailed integration consultation, customers receive either individual components, a seamlessly integrated subsystem or a complete automation solution.
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.
Protection of cables from chips, dust and splash water in harsh environments
Available in the 35 to 800 watt range for cost sensitive applications
An IEN Europe interview with Dipl.-Ing. Dimitrios Charisiadis, Managing Director of JUMO, about the successful history of the company and its plans for the future
Alan Baird will lead the global AC drive sales for UK drive manufacturer Sprint Electric
The Volume3D volume detection system precisely measures the load on conveyor belts using LiDAR sensors, an evaluation unit, and a rotary encoder. It detects volume, volume flow, and many other data while simultaneously monitoring sensor contamination.
Presentation of articulated and SCARA robots and motion news to industry visitors
Detect issues early, cut downtime, and save costs.
Multilingual and Open Source: OpenGPT-X research project releases large language model
USB-C charging to deliver deliver 240W from a single 1C port
A hydrogen-fuelled kiln test rig is helping brick and ceramics manufacturers to support the energy transition. In a first for the UK, a kiln and furnace manufacturer has partnered with flow control specialist Bürkert to manage the precise and reliable control of hydrogen. The result for end users is increased production quality and confidence in the transition to hydrogen, enabling a more sustainable process.
Designed to maintain focus over a wide temperature range
Optional output for enhanced connectivity and data transfer
For maximised safety in hydrogen storage and energy applications, including fuel cells
Highly efficient 960W DIN rail UPS with integrated DC-DC converter
The digitalisation of manufacturing and logistics introduces unknown software vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit, according to the new 'OT+IoT Cybersecurity Report' from German cybersecurity specialist ONEKEY.
Up to 100 mm wireless transmission range with maximum 100 Mbps
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.
For modern automated systems, those responsible are faced with the challenge of finding efficient cabling solutions that fulfil both the high performance and data transmission requirements. Traditional cabling systems often provide for separate cables for these purposes, which leads to increased effort and higher costs. One Cable Solutions (OCS) solve these challenges and thus also meet the growing requirements of the IIoT.
IoT architectures remain heterogeneous despite standards like SMARC® and COM Express®. This complicates integration and increases costs. Middleware abstracts the complexities of hardware, operating systems, and protocols, reducing development time.
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.
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.
Advancement for more seamless integration, data exchange, and control in Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications.
IEN Europe’s editor, Kay Petermann, and Rick De Vries, Advantech’s IIoT Sales Director Central Europe, talk about some of the trends and challenges for the European industrial sector.
