By Simon Gibbs, Intertronics It is important to efficiently create a high-quality prototype. This article explains how design engineers can benefit from UV curing when 3D printing prototypes.

The holistic program is designed to improve the industry’s image and provide educational programs for all age groups across the education continuum.

The TRICOR TCM 0325 Coriolis Mass Flow Meters detect air bubbles by monitoring the paint’s specific gravity. When the paint in pressure vessels begins to empty, air is introduced into the paint stream that results in a downward spike in paint gravity. Low paint specific gravity levels serve as an early warning for over-agitation and out-of-paint conditions.

Hardy wanted to abandon the dependency on just a few raw materials and instead use other nontraditional materials that were untapped in the marketplace. To do this, Hardy needed to overhaul the outdated controllers and distributed control system (DCS) that existed in the plant.

Building on concepts identified in the IIC Industrial Internet Security Framework published in 2016, the SMM defines levels of security maturity for a company to achieve based on its security goals and objectives as well as its appetite for risk

An upgraded microwave module has made the Rosemount 3308 more tolerant to difficult process conditions and therefore able to deliver a more sensitive and repeatable measurement with accuracy

The TankScan TSU1000 automated tank measurement system optimizes the distribution and collection processes while decreasing the need for manual inspections at remote tank sites.

Sinamics G120X has a power range of 1–700 hp (0.75–630 kW) and can operate in a temperature range from -4 to +140° F (-20 to +60° C) with any standard motor, including synchronous reluctance motors (SRM). It has an integral DC choke for harmonics and EMC performance.

Selected as a Microsoft mixed reality partner representing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, Bentley demonstrated how with SYNCHRO XR for HoloLens 2, users can interact collaboratively with digital construction models using gestures to plan, visualize, and experience construction sequencing.

Measuring 20 mm in thickness, the DSP300-318 is specially designed for digital menu boards, self-ordering systems, retail applications, queuing systems, interactive kiosks, video walls, and more.

High-profile cyberattacks and security breaches are reminders that a comprehensive security plan is needed to protect industrial control systems and the critical infrastructure they control.

New research published today in Science, led by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Argonne National Laboratory, has identified how and when these gas pockets form, as well as a methodology to predict their formation – a pivotal discovery that could dramatically improve the 3D printing process.

By H2W Technologies Determining the right motion control solution may require some calculations to match the specifications found on a given motors data sheet.

Designed to operate at extended temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, the IBQ800 is suitable for use in industrial environments and vertical market segments including automation, gaming, ATM, transportation, power utility and digital signage.

The SD4840E2 integrated controller + drive communicates with the host PLC over the EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, or Profinet network, and move commands are programmed through the host PLC’s software.

The capaNCDT 61x0/IP capacitive measuring system is specially designed for industrial measurement tasks where precision is required. It detects parameters such as displacement, distance, deflection, expansion, and deformation of conductive targets.

An optical isolation circuit is used to provide a barrier between the field wiring & associated field wiring issues (shorts, ground loops, transients, etc.)

By Mark Checkley, KEB Automation While feedback devices may be the usual choice for control of motors, sensorless closed loop control can provide design engineers and machine builders with the ability to add value and a competitive advantage to their machines.

The book reflects the latest understanding of how fluid mechanics and acoustics affect control valve performance.

The two Cybernet Group companies now have an office in Shanghai that is staffed by local experts to provide products and solutions to their customers within all of China.
