PSD direct drives are used in packaging machines, filling lines and woodworking machines worldwide. All the relevant subsystems for automatic format changeovers are already integrated into these intelligent drives, which are already available with the CANopen, IO-Link, PROFINET and EtherCAT control interfaces.
Future-oriented key technologies in microelectronics and microsystems technology (MST) will be presented at the MST Congress in Ludwigsburg from November 8 to 10, 2021. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS will participate at the joint booth of the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD). In numerous lectures and poster sessions, the institute will present current results and developments from the fields of intelligent MEMS-based sensor and actuator technology for applications in medical technology, chemical analytics and Industry 4.0.
Programmable, flexible safety is a key component of intelligent machine design. With S-DIAS Safety from SIGMATEK, the user has a slim economic solution that meets the highest safety standards (SIL 3, PL e).
Stepper motors are currently experiencing a true renaissance. Many still think of Far East products that are more noticeable for their typical noise than for their performance.
SensiML Corporation, a leading developer of AI tools for building intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints, today announced that it has teamed with onsemi to deliver a complete machine learning solution for autonomous sensor data processing and predictive modeling.
Support for the latest Arm Cortex-M55 processor in IAR Embedded Workbench provides strong tools support for the new family and ensures future innovation in embedded applications.
On the Industry 4.0 map, hazardous areas still appear as white spots in many manufacturing operations. The requirements for robustness and explosion protection are high, the terrain extensive, and connectivity often limited. But even in hazardous areas, the intrinsically safe smart devices from the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments ensure a paradigm shift. At SPS - Smart Production Solutions (23 to 25 November 2021), ECOM Instruments will be demonstrating in hall 7A at booth 330 how the gap between the safety requirements of hazardous areas and the hunger for data of the smart factory can be closed.
