Parker Hannifin enhances frameless motors to match demanding machine tool spindle applications
Parker has enhanced the design of its popular high speed frameless servomotor series SKW. Suitable for single and multi-spindle machine tool applications up to 21 kW, the motor neatly deploys inside the spindle. Supplied in kit form it simplifies mechanical design of the machine.
Industrial IoT platform now features Cloud capabilities
Cloud Service capabilities have been added to ILS Technology’s deviceWISE Application Enablement Platform for the industrial IoT. These capabilities help redefine the information-driven enterprise, transforming manufacturing, energy and natural resources, transportation and retail transaction management with improved connectivity, real-time data that increase performance, reliability and competitiveness within factories, remote locations an...
How sensors & control systems enable self-driving cars
With autonomous cars promised by the end of this decade, the advanced sensing and control systems needed to make that a reality are starting to come together, giving us a better idea of what to expect, as Sally Ward-Foxton discovers.
Industry 4.0 is an evolution, not a revolution
By Jonathan Wilkins I hereby crown Industry 4.0 this year’s automation industry buzzword. Launched by Siemens at the Hanover Messe two years ago, the concept refers to the computerisation of traditional industries like manufacturing and predicts a transition to intelligent factories. The final report on Industry 4.0 was released at the Hannover event in April this year.
Clamping force gauge Testit, clamping force measurement over machine control
The Siemens Sinumerik CNC controllers have been getting the maximum productivity out of each machine for over 50 years. Now they have another partner on their side: the Hainbuch Testit software. It is available on a data carrier for installation on Siemens CNC controllers [Sinumerik 840 D sl plus PCU50]. This means that a separate laptop is not needed anymore and manufacturing with "theoretical clamping forces" is also a thing of the past. Thanks...
Profibus bus connectors target Siemens S7 PLCs
Profibus bus connectors specifically designed for use with Siemens S7 PLCs have been released by PROVERTHA. Featuring a special form factor, the Profibus Smart 7 bus connectors are suitable for the S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLC control units.
New 5-Axis Machining Centre Has Wealth Of Automation Options
A new, 5-axis machining centre has been added to the Hermle C-series range, which now consists of seven models. The C 32 U dynamic is capable of fully interpolative 5-axis profiling as well as 5-sided machining within a working envelope of 650 x 650 x 500 mm. The single-lift machine can be transported as a single unit and has three-point support requiring no special foundations. Availability is through sole UK and Ireland agent, Geo Kingsbury.
RTOS accelerates time-to-market for industrial PCs
The Digital Factory division of Siemens has chosen Wind River's VxWorks RTOS as the foundation for its market-leading high-performance industrial PCs. The industrial PCs operate in extremely demanding environments, often directly on the plant floor. Because a standard PC operating system does not always fit the requirements of sophisticated industrial applications, Siemens required an RTOS to execute tasks requiring determinism, fast response tim...
Add-on module enables data visualisation in two formats
Theorem Solutions has announced the latest functionality enhancement to its CATIA V5 to PTC Creo View Adapter, with the release of the JT output add-on module. This additional module helps users needing to output CATIA V5 data into both the PTC Creo View and Siemens JT Teamcenter Visualisation formats using a single application, ensuring the native design data is accessible by a wider audience.
