The slow journey to the paperless factory
We can all agree that yes, a sheet of A4 is convenient, but your data won't be exact or real time. Well, more than a decade after we started talking about the paperless factory, it has yet to arrive. While the internet has revolutionised how we operate, with connectivity transforming how information moves around the enterprise, it is common to see a lot of paper moving around too – and this is especially true on the shop floor.
Why monitor dust in the workplace?
In most places of employment there can be a potential threat to health and safety from airborne particulates and aerosols. It is important to note, however, that dust hazards are not necessarily visible to the human eye and that the finest particles can represent the greatest threat because of their ability to travel deepest into the lungs. Effective monitoring is therefore key to the implementation of an effective risk management strategy.
PCIM Europe 2018 update
A varied selection of topics in this year's conference programme, accompanies an increased number of exhibitors for this annual power event.
Cobot collaboration delivers entry-level vision guidance
SICK has collaborated with Universal Robots to develop anentry-level vision-guided cobot system for pick and place, quality inspection and measurement in the electronics industries. The SICK Inspector PIM60 URCap is simple yet powerful toolkit for creating a vision-guided robot task with minimum time and effort.
DC/DC power modules feature a simplified design
Designers working on space-constrained applications can now dramatically reduce solution size and increase efficiency with the family of micro system-level IC ('uSLIC') modules from Maxim Integrated. The MAXM17532 and MAXM15462 ultra-small (2.6x3.0x1.5mm), integrated DC/DC power modules are part of Maxim's extensive portfolio of Himalaya power solutions that enable industrial, healthcare, communications, and consumer markets.
Isolated gate driver board improves time to market
In collaboration with Microsemi, Analog Devices has introduced a high power evaluation board for half-bridge SiC power modules with up to 1,200V and 50A at 200kHz switching frequency. The isolated board is engineered to improve design reliability while also reducing the need to create additional prototypes - saving time, lowering costs, and decreasing time to market for power conversion and energy storage customers.
SiC schottky diodes reduce switching losses
Four new series of1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes have been introduced by Littelfuse. They diodes are fromthe company's GEN2 product family, which was originally released in May 2017.
1.2 KV SiC MOSFETs fabricated in 150mm CMOS Fab
Discover Littelfuse's latest webinar, which will address the rugged 1.2KV SiC MOSFETs fabricated in high volume 150mm CMOS Fab.
ROHM and VENTURI collaborate on Formula E
Since Season 3 (2016/2017),ROHM Semiconductor has been official technology partner of the VENTURI Formula E team. ROHM bring its SiC (Silicon carbide) power devices, which it claims to be a cutting edge technology for e-mobility, to the race track to increase the effectiveness of the power electronics system in the VENTURI Formula E cars. Formula E is the leading racing event for electric vehicles.
