NORD DRIVESYSTEMS says it can provide more freedom in system design, with a modular system comprising decentralised drive electronics and efficient motors that offers full consistency. This is based on the NORDAC LINK and NORDAC ON frequency inverters, which now have identical communication and safety functions, making them flexible in use.

ABB has expanded its all-compatible drive portfolio with the introduction of a new wall-mounted frame, extending the ACS580-01, ACQ580-01 and ACH580-01 drive ranges with new 315 kW and 355 kW power ratings.

Engineering has shaped society for centuries, from the earliest tools to today's advanced systems. While technologies have evolved dramatically the core responsibility of engineers has remained the same; to deliver safe, reliable and efficient solutions that perform under real-world conditions, says Sven Brehler, Director of Engineering at TR Fastenings.

Originally developed for demanding pharmaceutical and drinking water applications, Burkert's MS02 Chlorine Cube sensor has proven particularly well suited to monitoring GAC filters in dialysis water treatment systems.

Teknic has expanded the new precision planetary gearbox line to include NEMA 56 and 143 input (115 mm output). These gearboxes include a wide selection of frame sizes, gear ratios, output flanges, and body configurations to accommodate a range of motion control requirements.

Arne Linder, Product Manager Drives at Kollmorgen explores the benefits and key aspects of applying a mechatronic approach to designing motion systems.

Intelligent automation with the Bosch Rexroth VarioFlow plus chain conveyor system and Hitmark Robotics solutions is delivering efficient palletising solutions for the food industry.

Nabtesco is expanding its strain wave gear portfolio with new short gears that deliver 120% in power density and 140% in life time at identical size. These properties create new freedom for designing more compact axes and joints, improved dynamics, and more efficient robotics and automation systems.

Atlas Copco Compressors has launched its new LC N2 nitrogen generation system in the UK, offering metal fabrication operations a compact, high-pressure solution designed specifically for the demands of modern fibre laser cutting.

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its colorSENSOR CFO250 true-colour recognition controller to include the LCh colour space.
