European FP7 project links the silicon photonic ecosystem
The European FP7 project PLAT4M has now been completed with results that exceeded expectations, according to Leti. Si photonics has long been expected to bring substantial breakthroughs in very high speed data communications, telecommunications and supercomputing. In addition, it is one of the most promising industrial-production candidates because of its potential for large-scale and low-cost production capability in existing CMOS foundries.
The days of the traditional machine tool are not numbered
You can’t really miss it; the whole world is talking about 3D printing, additive manufacturing and generative multi-layer construction technologies.Nevertheless, this is a long way from meaning that the classical machine tool is going to be pensioned off. The EMO Hannover 2017 will be showcasing an international banquet of production technology – with alternative processes as the highly auspicious icing on the cake.
Controlled heat treatment provided through Movicon SCADA
Using a control system based on Movicon, the modular SCADA solution, accurate energy efficient heat treatment for the rollers used in heavy duty tracked vehicles such as earth movers has been achieved.Paul Hurst of Products4Automation (P4A), the UK representative for Movicon says the installation has been so successful that the technology is to be extended to other lines in the plant.
