When designing industrial equipment, the operating temperature of the product is often at the top of the list for design engineers. This makes sense, after all, you don’t want to keep replacing failed equipment. However, while engineers give a lot of thought to heat in the equipment itself, the performance of the connectors and cables that join different devices is often overlooked. Here, Jonathan Parry, Senior Vice President of Global Operations and European Managing Director at cables and connectors specialist PEI-Genesis, explains how to choose an extreme temperature connector.
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the introduction of an advanced industrial training solution that combines 3D immersive technology with industry-leading operator training simulation to create a collaborative learning environment for plant operators and field technicians. Honeywell's Immersive Field Simulator is a virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality-based training tool that incorporates a digital twin of the physical plant to provide targeted, on-demand, skill-based training for workers.
Digital exhibition of EMC/EMI filters for regenerative drive applications and more. Schaffner, the international leader in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility and power quality are inviting customers no longer able to visit the SPS - Smart Production Solutions exhibition, which was to be held in Nuremberg in November, to join them at a virtual exhibition stand.
HMS Networks now introduces Ixxat® CANnector, a flexible solution for logging, bridging and extending CAN networks. Complementing the existing CAN@net NT and CANbridge NT series, CANnector offers additional interfaces and functions, as well as data logging functionality. Since it is compatible with CAN@net NT and CANbridge NT, CANnector enables easy expansion of existing installations.
It's not only taste that counts - but also special service: our customer Eureka System realized an innovative robot capable to follow even G-code toolpaths, fully controlled by KeMotion - our ready-to-use robotics solution. Eureka System was ready to invite you to its stand at MECSPE in Parma. Unfortunately, the fair was cancelled on Monday, October 26th, due to the new Covid19 measures of the Italian government. It can only take place virtually. When, where, and how will be announced at a later date. In the meantime, watch this great video of the robot demo.
A combination of an ElectroStatic Separator and a Metal Separation Module is enabling the recovery of fine copper and other metals from a waste product at a UK metal recycling company.
According to the latest report by PMMI Business Intelligence, there is a growing need for manufacturers to roll-out the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) across their enterprise. However, these companies should identify their existing “IIoT blind spots” before they do so. Here, Claudia Jarrett, US country manager of automation parts supplier EU Automation, explains how original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers can lend valuable support.
Flat, precise, power density: the universally deployable, mechatronic rotary unit SCHUNK ERT enables uniform, flexible and dynamic rotary movements that are virtually wear and maintenance-free within compact spaces. Even with the optionally available brake, which is actuated directly via the controller, the height of the SCHUNK ERT remains unchanged. This is a novelty on the market and creates excellent prerequisites for the most compact assembly and handling applications in the field of electronics, medical technology, laboratory technology, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and solar industry, but also for space-optimized applications in the field of mechanical engineering, laser machining or for packaging processes.
By installing automatic lubricators for bearings on its conveyor drive motors and belt pulleys, an opencast mine in Hungary has seen a range of benefits, including prevention of unplanned downtime, longer bearing life and reduced repair work.
