Larger parts given small footprints
Less than five square metres of space on a shop floor is occupied by the the new CLX350 CNC lathe from DMG Mori, but the machine is nevertheless capable of turning components from bar up to 51mm diameter (65mm optional) and has a maximum turning diameter of 320mm.
Sheffield Hallam University develops advanced manufacturing
Sheffield Hallam University has over 700 students who study engineering in all its forms, including aerospace, mechanical, manufacturing and materials, and it’s the job of the DMG MORI machines there that bring the students the latest CNC turning technology.
Siemens S7 Data integrated in IoT Cloud solutions
The dataFEED uaGate SI gateway from Softing Industrial now also supports the MQTT protocol in addition to OPC-UA, enabling easy and reliable integration of Siemens S7 data into cloud solutions.Thanks to the MQTT protocol's publisher functionality in the new 1.30 firmware version of its dataFEED uaGate SI, Softing is closing the gap between automation and IT.
A spark of engineering inspiration
Thousands of people are expected to flock to Lincoln Cathedral for the return of the Spark Engineering Festival that’s taking place from 5th to 7th May.This will be the third Spark festival and this year takes the theme of ‘Back to the Future’ – as organisers prepare to celebrate Lincolnshire’s pioneering excellence in engineering and its lead in engineering innovation - now and in the future.
New group advises government on digital technology for industry
In the government’s green paper on Industrial Strategy published on 23rdJanuary this year, a new review group was announced to be led by Juergen Maier, CEO of Siemens UK and Ireland, to advise on the opportunities and challenges for UK Industry offered by digital technology.The new group will be known as the Industrial Digitisation Review Leadership Team and is intended to work for six months producing the review report.
Tech basis set for high performance electronic circuit breakers
A German research team has explored the technological basis for reducing the energy losses in power grids and electric devices by more than half. This can be made possible through the use of DC. DC allows for smaller power losses when compared to the alternating current (AC) used today. The five project partners from industry and science investigated the foundations of a semiconductor-based and completely electronic circuit breaker that can be us...
IoT industrial gateway aimed at students, makers
To target an audience of students, makers, geeks and young engineers RS Components (RS) says that store.Arduino.cc has been appointed as official global resellerof the SIMATIC IOT2020 IoT industrial gateway, which is manufactured by Siemens. RS is the sole supplier to the market for the SIMATIC IOT2020.
Experts receive £4m robotics grant to boost wind farms
Scientists at Heriot-Watt University are part of a consortium of experts delivering a human-robotics hybrid solution for the maintenance and operation of offshore wind farms.
Product testing getting you down? There's a cobot for that
How do you make sure that a product can handle the wear and tear of an expected life cycle and that all safety and quality standards are met? You test it. Over and over again.Nothing is more repetitive than product testing – lending itself to one of the “3D jobs” that robots excel at: dirty, dangerous…and dull.Increasingly, collaborative robots – or cobots - are now being used for product testing.
Report reveals public support for driverless cars in UK
A landmark study revealing broad public support for driverless vehicles on Britain’s roads has been published byWestbourne Communications.Following a highly competitive bid process, the People in Autonomous Vehicles in Urban Environments (PAVE) consortium secured joint funding by government and industry. The competition was delivered by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.
