LEMO was exhibiting two new innovative products at the Broadcast Video Expo 2018 which was held from 28th February to the 2nd March. This show is the UK’s largest entertainment and media tech event which, was again, returning to the London ExCeL centre located in the heart of London Docklands.
Making sensor data and information from different sources available globally and linking this data and information in a meaningful way – this is the crux of Industry 4.0. New business ideas make it necessary to make this information globally available and accessible not only within a company but also beyond the boundaries of the company and its location.
With travel lengths to 250 mm and anti-creep crossed-roller bearings, plus an optional center-mounted linear encoder for direct position feedback, the versatile features and options of Aerotech’s ATX series linear positioning stages enable convenient integration into larger machines or use as stand-alone positioning axes. Vacuum and cleanroom-compatible versions are available and ThermoComp® ensures reliable performance in changing environments.
Seco Tools has introduced the industry’s first product line specifically dedicated to knee implant machining. The new Jabro® medical range of solid-carbide cutting tools combines different machining strategies such as high-speed machining to shorten part cycle times when machining knee implants by as much as 50 percent.
Rail operators and maintainers, train manufacturers and passengers demand increasing automation and improved services. Advantech responds with a comprehensive range of products to support the train and rail infrastructure. These support rolling stock and station passenger information systems (PIS), in-train and quayside surveillance systems, ticketing, railway signalling, integrated supervisory control systems (ISCS), driver monitors for systems and mirrors and the communication systems for the train backbone network, train-to-ground communications, asset management, surveillance and condition-based monitoring.
Moxa has launched the EDS-P506E-4PoE series of PoE switches that can provide up to 60 W per PoE port for converged data and power transmission. The power output was designed for IP cameras that use power-demanding functions such as PTZ, illumination, heaters, and fans in harsh environments. Our EDS-P506E-4PoE switches feature device-level cybersecurity, remote control, and the capability to monitor powered devices to meet the operational requirements for industrial applications such as highways, wayside, and public utilities.
Renewable energies and distributed energy resources are reflections of the era of energy transition. Smart grids with optimal load distribution are now closer to becoming reality. However, what happens to the existing substations in the distribution net-works? Will they able to handle the requirements, now that power quality concerns are emerging more and more? What is to happen to the older systems which now still operate manually or semi-manually? What is to be done about distribution networks with power transformers that are based on different technologies?
Many industries require connectors to interconnect the electrical and electronic systems that are vital to controlling their processes and ensure the safety of equipment. The nuclear industry is no exception to this. Thanks to its many years of collaboration with leaders in the industry, SOURIAU possesses extensive experience in meeting the requirements of nuclear environments.
