Low-power sensor board speeds IoT endpoint creation
The ARIS EDGE (Arrow Renesas IoT Synergy) development platform lets designers accelerate development of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as smart sensors, wearables, small appliances and battery-powered health care devices or other types of endpoints. It is available at Arrow Electronics.
Bent on success: integrated drives speed up assembly
There are certain ways to improve machines’ usability and to economise on manufacturing costs and Swedish company Comeco decided to launch a new line of rebar benders with electric drives instead of hydraulics to do so.NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supported the company from the early planning phase through to production, configuring an AC vector drive with an integrated PLC that controls all machine functions.
Procedure simplifies wind tunnel tests
The skier buckles her boots, grabs her poles and snaps her goggles into place. She's ready to go – but she’s not on the piste. She’s in ETHZurich's engineering lab. And there’s a good reason for this peculiar situation: up-and-coming athletes recently spent a week in the ETH’s wind tunnel testing a measuring method developed by the Institute of Fluid Dynamics. Ski racers, ski cross competitors and racing cyclists all...
Now all applications can turn to aluminium hand wheels
New aluminium versions have been added by WDS Component Parts to its already wide selection of hand wheels. Aluminium offers the advantages of light weight, strength and no corrosion, all attributes that can be useful in some hand wheel applications. Size for size, aluminium wheels are significantly lighter than cast iron or steel alternatives and often not much heavier than plastic ones.
Choosing the right dock shelter is very important
Dock shelters and seals play a big role in maintaining efficiency and saving energy in warehouses with internal loading/unloading bays. But with various options to choose from which is right for a given application? Guy Windle of sara LBS examines the relative merits of standard, retractable and inflatable dock shelters.

Time-sensitive networking: reliable communication for Industrial IoT
Today’s industrial manufacturing cell can include several robot arms, some cameras, position sensors, and some controllers connected together in a network. The cameras and sensors send data to the controllers. The controllers send commands to the robot arms.What happens when a command from the controller arrives at the robot arm a tenth of a second late? Guest blog byKa Kay Achacoso.
Latest tech on board the unmanned aircraft Sagitta
The unmanned aircraft Sagitta has successfully completed its first two test flights at the Overberg test range in South Africa. The project is part of the "Open Innovation" initiative launched by aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The objective is the development of new technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles. Sagitta serves as a platform for testing these technologies and is not focused on any specific end-product.
