Agricultural machinery bearings on show at Agritechnica 2017
Bearing manufacturer, NKE Austria, will presentbearings for agricultural machinery and for appliances for working ground and pasture land at Agritechnica 2017 in Hannover, Germany. Especially for tillage implements, NKE offers application-specific, preassembled, ready to use bearing units.The robust bearing units designated Agri Units are designed for use in agricultural machines that require a rotating union between a disc-shaped tool and its mo...
Audi toolmakers step on the gas
Reducing machining time during pre-finishing by up to 30%, the new WorkNC high feed rate strategy makes life a lot easier for car-making giant Audi.Vero Software has developed a new WorkNC high feed rate strategy together with the cutting specialists at Audi Toolmaking. With the achievement of Audi reducing processing times in various pre-finishing pressing tools by up to 30% while tool service life has trippled at the same time.
New 2.2kV symmetrical blocking distributed gate thyristor
IXYS Corporation, international power and IC semiconductor company has announced a new distributed gate thyristor with increased power density. This new fast thyristor with a turn-off time of 25 microseconds and a current rating of 1605 amperes is symmetrical blocking with forward and reverse voltage up to 2.2kV and therefore suitable for both voltage and current fed applications.
Add-on provides 3D publishing capabilities for visualisation range
In order to complement and enhance Theorem’s CATIA V5 to Creo View visualisation product, which is part of the Visualize 3D range, a 3D PDF add on is now available. This Visualize 3D product enables CATIA V5 assembly, geometry and attribute data, including manufacturing information, to be published in a Creo View format, extending the use of 3D data throughout the enterprise and supply chain as well as providing input data for multiple down...
High performance bevel gearbox range extended with new size
The Graessner PowerGear P range of bevel gearboxes has had another size added to the series, the P-65, which is available from Drive Lines.Sized at 65mm cubed it is expected to prove very popular in a wide range of applications, such as for use with screw jacks to create vertical lifting and lowering mechanisms.
Putting STEM into motion with new robotic car for the classroom
Texas Instruments (TI) has announced theTI-Innovator Rover, the company's first robotics solution for middle and high school students that makes learning STEM subjects a moving experience. Students can write programs on their TI graphing calculators that get Rover's wheels turning and their minds learning in a fun, interactive and hands-on way.
Solid carbide drill designed for high-temp alloys
Manufacturer of cutting tools, WIDIA, has announced that itsTDS45x drills are available in 3.0-20.0mm (0.1181-0.7874") diameters and length to diameter ratios of 3xD, 5xD, and 8Xd. Hole straightness and accuracy is assured, even without a pilot hole.Users of WIDIA’s TDS series drilling solution are already familiar with its performance in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys.
Custom semiconductors: the economical solution
Darren Hobbs, Director of Marketing and Strategy at S3 Semiconductors talks about how custom semiconductors are an expensive and out-of-reach tech solution has become a statement of past significance. Today,System on Chip (SoC) solutions are in abundance, and companies like S3 Semiconductors make custom silicon not only practicable, but cost effective as well.
Tiny infrared LEDs allow eye contact with VR
The Japanese start-up company FOVE offers users a Virtual Reality (VR) headset that integrates eye tracking as a novel means of interaction. Tiny ChipLEDs from Osram Opto Semiconductors provide the infrared illumination to track the user’s direction of gaze and eye movements.
Applications of mathematics reveal brain's complexity
The lack of a formal link between neural network structure and its emergent function has hampered our understanding of how the brain processes information. The discovery of a mathematical framework to describe the emergent behaviour of the network in terms of its underlying structure comes one step closer.A new approach to neuroscience based on mathematics is helping to reveal a universe of multi-dimensional geometrical structures and spaces with...
