Fast and simple valve actuation monitoring ensures dosing accuracy

Fast and simple valve actuation monitoring ensures dosing accuracy

Precise and consistent dosing accuracy ensures product quality. However, as the repeatable accuracy of valve actuation typically declines over time, monitoring valve actuation is crucial. Failure to do so can not only reduce dosing performance, it can also lead to unplanned maintenance that will impact productivity and service levels. Implementing a valve actuation monitoring system is the answer.

All-in-one embedded vision platform with new tools and functions from IDS

All-in-one embedded vision platform with new tools and functions from IDS

At IDS, image processing with artificial intelligence does not just mean that AI runs directly on cameras and users also have enormous design options through vision apps. Rather, with the IDS NXT ocean embedded vision platform, customers receive all the necessary, coordinated tools and workflows to realise their own AI vision applications without prior knowledge and to run them directly on the IDS NXT industrial cameras.

Maintaining the benefits from your investments in robotics

Maintaining the benefits from your investments in robotics

With robots now an essential element in many manufacturing facilities, users are benefiting from the increases in productivity, quality and consistency which these systems deliver. The high levels of reliability and uptime associated with robot systems however can sometimes lead to complacency when it comes to planning preventative maintenance schedules. This article from Stäubli’s Simon Jenkins highlights the benefits which can be realised by adhering to preventative maintenance schedules for robot systems, which will in turn ensure long term performance and an ongoing return on the initial investment.

Protection from lithium-ion battery fires

Protection from lithium-ion battery fires

While normally safe under most use conditions, lithium-ion batteries that are poorly designed, incorrectly assembled or h damaged can overheat and even explode, potentially resulting in catastrophic consequences involving life and property. Martin Foley, senior manager at TÜV SÜD, addresses issues associated with small and larger format batteries.

The signs your springs are about to fail

The signs your springs are about to fail

Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal surface because of an electrochemical process between it and the surrounding environment. But while this is a good definition of what corrosion is, it does not explain why this is a problem for springs. Interestingly, corrosion is not usually the sole cause for failure. Rather, it creates pits on the surface which act as stress concentration points, resulting in a premature fatigue failure. Corrosion can also lead to embrittlement of the material, causing catastrophic failure.
