Innovative brake system increases safety of vertical axes

If there is a danger of falling loads on vertical axes in areas where personnel have to work, additional measures must be taken to minimise the risk of accidents. The Mauerstetten brake specialist mayr® power transmission has developed brake systems which are capable of providing safety in any critical situation occurring during vertical axes operation.

MAPLESOFT

MapleSim Used to Create High Fidelity Physical Models of Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Batteries

In recent years, the demand for hybrid-electric and fully electric vehicles has increased enormously. The development of such vehicles is a significantly more complex task than designing conventional cars because they incorporate many different engineering domains into a single system. At the same time, competitive pressures are forcing auto manufacturers to come up with new designs faster than ever before. The industry is turning to math-based physical modeling techniques which allow engineers to accurately describe the behavior of the components that comprise the system and the physical constraints on the system. These model equations are then used to develop, test, and refine designs very quickly, and without the expense and time required to build physical prototypes.

Amixon VM: Thế hệ máy trộn mới xả cặn hoàn toàn

Ngay từ ban đầu, mọi nguyên lý trộn sử dụng trong công nghiệp dường như đều được sáng chế cho công nghệ trộn chất rắn. Tuy nhiên những chiếc máy xử lý này liên tục được cải tiến và đổi mới. Một trong những mục tiêu của cải tiến là để đơn giản hóa quy trình xử lý của các thiết bị. Ngoài ra việc cải tiến còn nhằm tăng cường những ưu điểm cho người vận hành và cải thiện các quy trình xử lý. Các kỹ sư cũng hướng tới mục tiêu tối ưu hóa chất lượng trộn và vệ sinh. Đó là khi amixon GmbH giới thiệu một phát kiến mới, cho phép xả gần như hoàn toàn sản phẩm trộn ra khỏi máy trộn mà không để lại chút cặn nào.

CIAT

OPERA

OPERA is CIAT’s latest range of drycoolers and air-cooled condensers. An economic solution, based on standard modules, OPERA is available in more than 4500 models, which adapt perfectly to many different applications. Whilst offering the same output, its energy efficiency is 15% better than that of previous generations. This ratio can be as much as 50% depending on options. Available power ratings go up to 1100 kW.

ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK

Alufast® fasteners facilitate lightweight construction

Alufast® aluminium screws from Arnold Umformtechnik are especially advantageous for joining magnesium components: transmission, housing, load-bearing, stiffening... Especially with material pairs exposed to thermal stress, they significantly enhance the security of threaded fastener joints. Furthermore, Alufast® aluminium screws weigh only one-third as much as equivalent steel screws. Particularly with large volumes the weight savings can amount to the equivalent of several metric tons of steel per year.

SOURIAU – SUNBANK Connection Technologies

Composite Connectors qualified by ESA Space Applications

Souriau, the worldwide leader of composite connectors for severe environments has obtained the qualification of the European Space Agency (ESA) for its rectangular miniature range: microComp®. The microComp® connector is the perfect replacement for ESA/ESCC D-Sub connector, which is widely used today in satellite payloads. The microComp® allows a space saving up to 40% and a weight reduction down to 60%.

NORD Drivesystems

Drives and inverters for a new bottling plant

Nord Drivesystems provides drives and gears for the packaging, palleting and transport technology systems designed and installed by BMS Maschinenfabrik in the new factory of the Hacklberger Beverage company. Decentralised capability, high positioning accuracy and low energy consumption of the Nord Drivesystems solutions are key success factors for this new installation producing up to 36 000 bottles per hour.

NORD Drivesystems

EtherCAT connectivity for distributed inverters

NORD Drivesystems provides a technology box for integrating motor-mounted SK 200E inverters into EtherCAT networks and the Beckhoff control technology environment. The Ethernet-based fieldbus offers significant benefits particularly for distributed networks such as conveyor systems. The new EtherCAT box from NORD cost-efficiently connects a large number of inverters to a single bus line, since there is no need for repeaters or additional bus master interfaces.
