The deployment of robots in factories worldwide reached and passed 4 million last year, representing a doubling of robot density over the past seven years. Author: Amy Taylor, Director, Marketing – Industrial, SiTime
New servo drive line addresses need for cost-effective automation solutions
Whether you’re talking about hybrid regional jets to next-generation air taxis it’s increasingly clear that the future of flight is electric, and electromechanical (EM) actuation is playing a central role in making this a reality. As aircraft systems move away from hydraulics and pneumatics in favor of all-electric architectures.

For pure compressed air with optimum energy efficiency
Accurate energy consumption data is essential for companies aiming to achieve climate-neutral production. To support this goal, a consortium of organizations has recently published a groundbreaking specification for interoperable and efficient energy management in industrial and process automation.
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
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.
