Collaborating on extending Siemens’ recently announced end-to-end additive manufacturing solution, EOS has joined the Siemens PLM Software Partner Program.EOS plans to deliver a seamless integration of the EOS AM software, EOSPRINT into Siemens’ NX software for the manufacturing industry.
Brushless motor range includes options with Profinet interface
The range of rotary brushless DC motors from DUNKERMOTOREN now includes the option of the BG 65 model being available with an integrated Profinet interface.This ensures compatibility with Siemens controllers from the S7-200 up to the S7-1500 and thanks to function blocks this motor option is simple to integrate into PLC controllers.
Open source planning tool for the energy turnaround
How much electricity flows through the grid? When and where? Where are the bottlenecks? What happens when wind turbines and solar cells feed in additional energy? The answer to these questions are essential for the global energy turnaround. However, for a valid planning, one first needs a solid understanding of the infrastructure.
Five-axis machine centres offer automation options
The ranges of 3, 4, and 5-axis Vertical Machining Centres (VMCs) from Spinner, have been uprated in response to suggestions from end users. Whitehouse Machine Tools, explains here the improvements the U-630 and U-1530 have made.
Safer X-ray diagnosis created through hi-res detectors
The NHS recorded over 22 million X-rays in England last year, and they are a diagnostic test that most of us are familiar with.Scientists have often sought to reduce harmful ionising radiation, the high-energy particles that penetrate tissue to reveal internal organs and bone structures that can damage DNA, from single x-ray records or CT scans.
Reviewed procedure for measuring wind turbine power
The most widely reviewed industry procedure released to date, describes in a practical manner the main steps to using a nacelle-mounted wind lidar to measure a wind turbine power curve, closely following guidelines such as IEC 61400-12-1 CD.The reviewers include experts from Siemens, DONG Energy, DTU Wind Energy, RES (Renewable Energy Systems) and Natural Power.
