A system for testing has been commissioned by igus in its own test laboratory, especially for testing high loads in machine applications found in the agricultural or construction industries.The front loader, which moves 24/7, is located outdoors and therefore exposed to all the elements. This enables igus to compare different bearing combinations in order to find the best products for the respective heavy-duty application.

In Iffendic, Brittany, German biogas plant manufacturer WELTEC BIOPOWER is currently working on an extension AD project withits French partner WELTEC Agripower. The biogas plant in Iffendic had already been built back in 2014, and now its capacity is being doubled. The biogas plant now generates 500kW a day, enough to supply almost 1,000 households.

Designer and manufacturer of highly rugged MEMS capacitive accelerometer chips and modules, Silicon Designs has announced the immediate availability of its Model 1525 series, a family of commercial and inertial-grade MEMS capacitive accelerometers, offering low noise performance.

A 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor equipment that measures distance between the equipment and the object from the round-trip travelling time of the pulse laser that is projected to the object has been developed by Panasonic. The sensor accurately measures the direction of and distance to objects with a wide angle of view, which is critical for autonomous operation of mobile robots.

Ever since the first banknotes were created and recorded in the 7th century over in China they have been made from cotton paper.Paper money did not really catch on in Europe, however, until nearly a thousand years later. It was first widely used in the UK in 1759, when gold shortages caused by the Seven Years War forced the Bank of England to issue £10 notes for the first time.The first £5 notes followed about 20 years later at the st...
