Lidar to boost productivity at offshore wind farm
ZephIR Lidar has announced that it has installed a turbine-mounted ZephIR DM wind lidar on the 270 MW Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, located 5 miles from the Skegness coast and operated by Centrica, Siemens Project Ventures and DONG Energy. The installation of the unit will help to identify opportunities where an improvement to production from the installed 75 Siemens 3.6 MW wind turbine generators can be achieved.
3D PDF enables secure sharing of annotated CAD data
3D PDF technology is a way of sharing 3D data within the familiar Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) presentation, recognised and used globally.Theorem’s Publish 3D Document suite enables the publishing of 3D CAD data directly from within the Siemens NX design application and via batch process for Siemens JT visualisation data.
Motor's improved power-to-weight ratio suits atmospheric satellites
Newcastle University has been chosen by Boeing to develop an ultra-lightweightelectric motorfor an upper atmosphere electric aircraft. These spidery fixed-wing aircraft can have the wingspan of a jumbo jet but the weight of a small car. Such 'atmospheric satellites' are being designed to take 10,000lb payloads into atmospheric orbit at 65,000 ft.
Boilers enable 'virtually energy-neutral' sewage works
Slibverwerking Noord-Brabant (SNB), Moerdijk, Holland, has officially commenced operations using two boilers, provided by NEM Energy, and a Siemens steam turbine, immediately making the largest sewage sludge incineration plant in Europe virtually energy-neutral - a status unique in the industry. The amount of electricity generated will be enough to power 7,000 to 8,000 households.
The best of 21st century British manufacturing
Plessey Semiconductors has announced that it will be featured on a website showcasing 21st century British manufacturing, launching 23rd April. www.madeherenow.com, the brainchild of former Financial Times Manufacturing, Editor Peter Marsh, is looking to tell the story of modern-day industry through a series of articles, pictures and videos about four exemplar companies.
MTA 2015 to tackle 3D printing, robotics & manufacturing automation
Faced with challenges from rising costs, growing competition and the need to raise productivity, manufacturers have begun assuming greater technological leadership, especially in converging high-end manufacturing equipment with next-generation ICT. These technological advances in automation, robotics and 3D printing are on show at MTA2015 - The Precision Engineering Industry Event.
Designer suspension arm is elegant & ergonomic
ROLEC has unveiled its latest range of profiPLUS designer suspension arms. Elegant and ergonomic, the profiPLUS modular system offers a huge range of couplings, joints and sections to create the suitable suspension arm solution.ROLEC profiPLUS is quick and easy to install, either vertically, horizontally or on the floor. It offers alignment of the complete system in a horizontal direction through a single set screw. ROLEC has applied for a patent...
Paper explores the path to successful manufacturing networking
The case for networking shop-floor operations, especially in capital intensive plants, is compelling. Higher productivity, less waste, lean manufacturing and transparency are the goals of these Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), but these can be frustrated by incomplete machine connections. Forcam, with over 60,000 machine tools and plant items using its Factory Framework MES, has produced a paper that explores how to overcome these problems.
‘Residual stress’ measurement extends life of power stations
More than a decade of research into a technique for checking the residual stresses locked inside manufactured parts is helping to extend the useful lifetime of the UK’s nuclear power stations and ensure the structural integrity of critical components used in aerospace applications.
Tool enhances VDK simulation performance by up to five times
Synopsys has announced the availability of its Virtualizer tool for creating VDKs (Virtualizer Development Kits), software DevKits that use virtual prototypes as the embedded target to enable the fastest time to quality software. The latest Virtualizer release integrates a number of features, including MultiSim, SimSight and FastBuild to increase VDK simulation performance by up to five times and accelerate VDK availability for earlier software d...
