Servo drive system simplifies project engineering for machine builders
The Sinamics S210 converter from Siemens was designed specifically for use with the newly developed Simotics S-1FK2 motors, now the company is offering a new servo drive system in five power classes ranging from 50-750W.The converters come with integrated safety functions and enable rapid engineering. In addition, they are connected to the higher-level controller over Profinet and allow simple commissioning using a web server and one-button tunin...
Project to improve efficiency of next-gen gasoline engines
While powertrain electrification offers significant opportunities to reduce vehicle emissions in the urban environment, the gasoline engine is likely to continue to play a significant role in passenger cars – both in conventional and hybrid powertrains – for many years to come. This is particularly the case for mid- to premium-sized passenger cars that are used for longer-distance journeys.
A change is in the air for offshore wind turbines
A new offshore windfarm capable of meeting the electricity demand of well over 230,000 homes,Burbo Bank Extension, was officially opened at a ceremony in Liverpool on 17th May. The wind farm is a joint venture between DONG Energy (50%) and its partners PKA (25%) and KIRKBI A/S, parent company of the LEGO Group (25%). It is the first offshore wind farm in the world to make commercial use of the MHI Vestas V164-8.0 MW wind turbines.
Compact and economical storage tower for sheet metal
Introducing a new tower which provides a compact, standardised solution for automated storage and retrieval of pallets and flat material, metal sawing and storage equipment manufacturer, KASTO has called the system KASTOecostore.Advantages of the KASTOecostore system include its low space requirement, high storage density, short material access times and value for money.
Open and productive cam tool for industrial 3D printing
EOS presents EOSPRINT 2.0, the newest version of its comprehensive AM (Additive Manufacturing) CAM environment. With data preparation software like Siemens NX, or Magics, the EOS software provides an intuitive user interface, offers customers greater freedom for application specific parameter optimisation and allows easier part optimisation - leading to increased productivity and part quality.
'Knowledge is power' at CWIEME Berlin 2017
Manufacturers from across the transformer, electric motor, generator, automotive, energy and consumer electronics sectors will travel to CWIEME Berlin this June to source new materials and components, network, and stay abreast of all the latest industry developments.Between the 20th-22nd June, the exhibition for coil winding, electric motor and transformer manufacturing will open its doors to more than 6,500 visitors from approximately 80 countri...
Industrial I/O module is Arduino compatible
The new SIMATIC IOT2000 module from Siemens, which is an Arduino-compatible shield that enables additional digital and analogue input/output (I/O) connectivity in an industrial environment is available at RS Components. Designed to be compatible with the SIMATIC IOT2020 and IOT2040 industrial IoT gateways, the new module can be connected directly to local sensors to trigger non-time-critical processes.
Transmission of data to the cloud
Capturing, transmitting and processing data lies at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution.Therefore, cutting-edge connectivity is a must for equipment in factories and similar environments – for example to enable predictive maintenance. At Hannover Messe 2017, Rittal was there to highlight the communication capabilities of its new cooling units and chillers. And by presenting these in conjunction with Siemens MindSphere and IBM Wats...
Report finds digital solutions crucial to IIoT growth
Due to the need for capital efficiency, asset efficiency and resource efficiency,tectonic shifts are underway across process and discrete industries. These trends are nurturing the growth of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0. The convergence of algorithms, cloud, data, devices and networks drive a creative destruction and expansion of traditional business models. Further, the directional shift from CAPEX◇OPEX cycles will see th...
Industrial gear units and driving data in the cloud all at Hannover
Now providing extruder flanges optimised for heavy duty operation, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has added an all new-supplement to its modular industrial gear range.Several different extrusion flanges are available for each of the industrial gear units from size 5-11, with rated torques from 15-80kNm. Almost all usual dimensions can be adapted. Extra-large thrust bearings ensure that all process forces are absorbed and provide enhanced durability for long l...
