STMicroelectronics’ STDRIVEG600 half-bridge gate driver has high current output and 45ns propagation delay, closely matched between high-side and low-side outputs, to handle high-frequency switching of GaN enhancement-mode FETs.
Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, announced that its plant in Wolfschlugen, Germany has yet again obtained EN ISO 14001:2015 certification for its environmental management practices.
Taking place at the National Conference Centre on November 17th 2021, this free-to-attend seminar will be supported by an exhibition with live product demonstrations, making it of great value to Designers, Production/System Engineers, Instrument Technicians/Engineers and C&I Engineers involved in the design, operation and maintenance of modern automated factories and process plant.
For the past four years a hot rolling mill at a steel plant in Spain had been experiencing unexpectedly short bearing life, leading to costly production stoppages. As a result, the plant worked closely with the Technical Department at leading bearing specialist NSK to assess the application and propose and implement a solution based on high-performance spherical roller bearings. By adopting the recommendations set forward by NSK, the steel plant is now saving €69,803 per annum in reduced costs for downtime, maintenance, bearings and lubrication.
One of the more difficult aspects of evaluating and specifying linear motion products is figuring out the difference between axial and radial load ratings. Because axial load ratings are typically much lower than radial load ratings, it’s important to understand the characteristics of both types of loads so you can compare the ratings with confidence.
The US-China trade war, coupled with the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic around the world, has triggered a series of technological and financial wrestling, and to restart the growth momentum of enterprises at this moment has become an arduous challenge. CommonWealth Magazine uses 2020 revenue in the range of 100 million to 10 billion and three consecutive years of profit growth as the screening criteria. Industrial computer leader, DFI, has a revenue of NT$8.35 billion (equivalent to 300 million U.S. dollars), an annual increase of 18.8%. Due to these good results, DFI has been ranked amongst the Fast 100 in CommonWealth Magazine for two consecutive years.
Obtain a fast, comprehensive overview of a plant: that’s the purpose of Pilz’s web-based visualisation software PASvisu. The new version of PASvisu now also supports the Modbus/TCP protocol. The protocol enables all controllers to be connected quickly, along with other industrial components. The update also includes a secure Client/Server connection, enabling data from the PASvisu Server to be transferred safely to the user's visualisation system.
In September, KEBA will again be represented with a booth in three countries: In Switzerland at SINDEX, in the USA at FABTECH, and in Germany at Husum Wind. In India, visitors to the virtual AUTOMATION EXPO CONNECT will have the opportunity to speak live with the KEBA team.
