Tata Steel has begun delivery of rail which will carry thousands of passengers every day on the longest completely new rail line to be built in the UK in more than 100 years.
Morgan Advanced Materials announces the development of a groundbreaking new capability of brazing carbon fibre, ceramics, composites, or other engineered materials directly to a titanium honeycomb. This technique brings together the best qualities of both components, ensuring a final material that is strong, lightweight, and impact- and heat-resistant.
Many steps are necessary to make chocolate from cocoa beans. During this process, ingredients and mixtures in various states remain in near-continuous motion for hours and days on end, which requires reliable drive systems. In Zotter Schokoladen’s factory in Southeast Austria, the durability and fail-safe operation of these drives is doubly significant: firstly, smooth operation ensures top quality of the final product. Secondly, the production line is always open to thousands of visitors who should of course not witness any malfunctions. For years now, the facility has been using geared motors from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS for conveying, mixing and pumping tasks.
With the CAN-IB300/PCI and CAN-IB400/PCI, HMS offers two new CAN cards for the PCI bus, modularly expandable with up to four CAN interfaces and with an extensive driver and tool suite support.
Components are assembled, conveyed, lifted, transported and moved around in industrial manufacturing. Systems and components from the field of assembly, handling and automation technology are required where these processes are carried out in automated operations or at least with the aid of machinery.
Esterline Connection Technologies – Souriau has awarded a dual-source agreement to AB Connectors for the supply of its micro38999 connectors, which are used by many of the group's customers. The agreement guarantees that both manufacturers' micro38999 connectors are intermateable and interchangeable.
A high-specification alternative to glass, already established in critical applications in the aerospace and defence sectors, is now being offered for a variety of industrial applications by Morgan Advanced Materials.
More integration for electrical engineering and PLC programming
Transferring data from electrical engineering directly into PLC programming – this is now state-of-the-art technology with the integration of Eplan Electric P8 and GX Works2. Yet Mitsubishi Electric Europe and Eplan continue striving for more as partners in the e-F@ctory Alliance to further increase project quality and data consistency for users.
