Variable speed drives (VSDs) offer an alternative means of improving efficiency and reducing emissions. They intuitively vary voltage and input frequency to control speed and torque in electric motors dependent on the application, reducing energy costs and making processes more environmentally friendly.
NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced the development of a control technology that doubles the efficiency of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in warehouses while maintaining a high level of safety. NEC plans to put this technology into practical use by March 2024 and to have it installed in NEC's cooperative AMRs in Japan.
Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, today announced a new partnership with DATABOX - Informática, S.A., a prominent IT channel distributor based in greater Lisbon, Portugal, to provide Delta’s wide range of energy-efficient Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Data Centre Infrastructure Solutions to IT resellers and system integrators throughout Portugal. By leveraging their close collaboration as well as Delta’s core competencies in energy-efficient ICT infrastructure and DATABOX – Informática’s deep expertise in the local market, this partnership is expected to meet the demanding requirements for edge computing in Portugal.
R+W Couplings can be obtained with ATEX certifications regardless of the application type or size, ranging from high precision dynamic drives to large industrial construction models.
With ProSimulation, the servo drive systems of machines and systems can be set up, tested and optimized virtually. The automation specialist Baumüller has now extended the functional scope of ProSimulation: In addition to the controller and mechanics models, models are now also available for hydraulic systems, with which the dynamic operating behavior of the servo hydraulics can be simulated.
The new ByBend Smart increases the flexibility and in particular the speed of bending. Thanks to its numerous functions and options, the new machine offers the decisive plus in bending technology at an attractive price.
In the Fraunhofer lighthouse project NeurOSmart, Fraunhofer IPMS together with four other institutes (ISIT, IMS, IWU, IAIS) under the leadership of Fraunhofer ISIT are jointly researching particularly energy-efficient and intelligent sensors for the next generation of autonomous systems. In the process, the bridges between perception and information processing are being redefined by innovative electronics.
Fives, one of the world’s most preferred partners for transforming supply chain facilities, has been selected by PostNord to install two turnkey sorting systems in Norway and Germany.
