5ME’s multi-patented cryogenic machining process is a technology designed to enable higher metal removal rates and longer tool life by delivering liquid nitrogen at 321°F through the spindle/turret, cutter body, cutting tool, and directly to the cutting edge.

The NCA-6210 features up to 8 NIC modules slots and takes advantage of Lanner’s F.A.S.T. solutions, which are purpose-built modular kits developed to work with Lanner’s network computing appliances, delivering scalability and transformability by way of 1/10/40/100G cooper/fiber interface, PoE/TAP/WiFi connectivity, NVMe SSD storage, 4K video transcoding and PCI-E expansion capabilities.

SmartStart is designed to address the growing flexibility needs of service providers and OEMs struggling to connect unattended retail terminals and remote devices in third-party locations.

Netzer’s Rotary Electric Encoders are designed to provide accurate, absolute position with miniature to wide diameter hollow shaft. Available with Analog Sin/Cos, Digital SSi, Digital AqB+I outputs, these rotary encoders feature up to 20 Bit Resolution (with 12 bit A/D) and accuracy to <0.01 .

Applications include DC-powered operations such as arc welding, shunt wound electric motors and compound DC motors, which are commonly used to power lifting cranes on docks and in the wood processing industry.

The LS3300 can calibrate AC voltage, current, and power as well as test both phase difference and power factor. The LS3300 delivers an accuracy of 0.045% and a stability of 0.01% per hour.

Certain types of fuses have a very high speed of response to over currents. They provide excellent short-circuit component protection.

The contest was aimed at engineers, makers and students and challenged them to come up with innovative applications and solutions based on the open and flexible IoT gateway, which is manufactured by Siemens. The winning design came from Belgium and was for a rolling material monitoring system.

The growing demand for 3D-printed parts is reflected in both toolcraft's need to expand its machine park and to construct its own laser melting centre. The centre will include a staff restaurant, which will not only fuel the company's employees, but will provide them with a place to meet and hold events.

The new GOAL middleware offers already without fieldbus functionality many features like Switch-Management, Core to Core communication As well as the 5 most frequently used Communication Protocols like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK and CANopen.

The design of the Model 303337 incorporates VPG’s Bulk Metal Z Foil resistive technology, along with a four-terminal Kelvin connection, for current sensing and temperature stability to 3W.

By Jeff Miller, Optical Cable Corporation (OCC) Fiber optic cabling upgrade helps fend off lightning strikes, gnawing animals, environmental toxins, and other threats that can interrupt critical communications and control. Concerns of this kind recently drove the Tampa Bay Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant to upgrade from PE-89 outdoor direct burial copper cable to fiber optic cable.

The SC-System's family of signal conditioners by Pepperl+Fuchs consists of a single rotation speed monitor with a 6 mm installation width, which processes digital input signals of all binary sensors and is now fitted with a restart inhibit.

The entire line is IP69K rated, making ABB Jokab Safety Eden safety sensors ideal for applications that require resistance to dust and liquid ingress, such as wash-down operations in food and beverage processing plants.

This system is based on proprietary PiezoWalk linear motor technology. It provides 2 nanometer minimum incremental motion in X, Y, Z with 0.2 microradian angular motion in Pitch, YAW, and Roll.

By Andrew McIntyre, Texas Instruments At the core of Industry 4.0 is the need for reliable communication networks. These networks are closely tied to real-time operational needs; therefore, they must be able to handle information in a deterministic and redundant manner.

Learn the 10 most important factors to consider when using a non-contact displacement measurement sensor.

A platform that operates below an application's surface, Coleman mines data and uses machine learning to improve processes such as inventory management, transportation routing, and predictive maintenance

Through advances to the seismic to flow simulation workflow and decision-support tools, Roxar RMS 10.1 takes collaboration and integration between domains a step further, supporting enhanced decision-making.

Red/green zone dial-face adjustability allows a unified visual warning system to be applied across a range of processes for quicker recognition of issues. Festo designed these new gauges to be visible and easily understood.
