The road to interoperability in automotive manufacturing
TodayBeth Ragdale, software business manager at automation specialist Beckhoff UK, argues that interoperability in automotive manufacturing is not just about compliance with standards, but about how open and flexible control architectures truly are.
Thin-section bearings for space applications
TodayIn future, satellites are set to be operated, maintained, repaired or repositioned for longer periods. This also places greater demands on mechanical components. The requirements are low weight, a small installation space, high rigidity and maximum reliability. Rodriguez develops compact precision bearings for demanding space applications, ranging from robotic arms to mobile satellite systems.
Inductive sensors ensure reliable performance for marine applications
TodayMarine and offshore environments present some of the toughest operating conditions for industrial automation equipment. Whether installed on vessels, port cranes, offshore platforms or subsea systems, sensors are continuously exposed to saltwater, extreme weather, vibration and mechanical shock. Selecting the right sensing technology is therefore critical to maintaining operational reliability, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring safe operation, as the experts at PLUS Automation explain.
Self-optimisation function significantly improves angular accuracy of Hall-effect encoders
TodayMEGATRON Hall-effect rotary encoders with incremental and SSI outputs automatically optimise angular measurement during operation. With each complete revolution, angular accuracy improves step by step to as much as +/-0.1 degree.
Expanded M12 portfolio with angled PCB connectors
4 days agobinder is expanding its M12 program with angled panel-mount connectors for centric PCB mounting. The connectors receive the circuit board at its edge and sit flush with it, rather than on top of it.
Safe and speedy rail-certified cable entries
5 days agoPassenger safety comes first in modern rail transport, and cable entry systems play a key role. They keep electric installations organised and fully functional behind the walls and panels of every railcar. Conta-Clip has enhanced and adapted its proven KDS cable entry program for the demanding requirements of rail applications, and certified it for this safety-critical environment.
The hidden cost of inefficient machine control
3 days agoMachine hardware upgrades can make a difference in improving productivity, but often the greatest gains don't come from replacing physical components, they come from improving how machines are controlled, explains Beth Ragdale, product manager at industrial control and automation specialist Beckhoff UK & Ireland.
