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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
