NKE AUSTRIA has supplied a special cylindrical roller bearing with an outer diameter of 3.3 m for the application in a three-roller planetary rolling mill.
“Conform” product line is made of multifunctional precision parts produced by metal forming instead of turning. This change in production method alone is sufficient to allow cost savings of up to 80% to be achieved.
While the number of adopters of industrial wireless is fast increasing worldwide, some Automation Engineers are still sceptical regarding security. This is an important topic. And no one will consider these questionings illegitimate. This article will bring answers and hopefully help convince them that security should not be the reason for postponing the pace they will do towards wireless.
More than 1000 Nord Drivesystems geared motors with decentralised inverters have been installed in Chronopost’s main European hub, to the south of Paris. They are a crucial component in the sorting centre which handles an average of 170,000 parcels a day, each needing to be identified and sent to the correct loading bay in less than 3 minutes.
The powerful, all-in-one ETV control panel series from SIGMATEK was expanded by two new panels with a 5.7" touch display. The ETV 0551 is equipped with an analog resistive TFT color touch screen (IP 54). The ETV 0552, which is equipped with a glass touch screen and frontal IP65 protection against dust and water, is even more robust. Because there is no offset edge between the glass touch screen and the frame, the panel can be easily cleaned. The ETV 0552 is therefore ideal for use in raw industrial environments as well as in food processing, packaging and medical technology.
Two models have been added to the successful HYPERTURN series, the HYPERTURN 95 and 110, expanding our product range in complex, complete machining with high levels of productivity. The machine is a modular sytem giving our customers a choice of two bed lengths, two spindle sizes, with a milling spindle and a B-axis or with two turrets. A new state-of-the-art control and drive technology make for greater user-friendliness and increased productivity.
R. STAHL's Yodalex series includes a wide range of signalling devices for hazardous areas, such as the YO6 omni-directional horn, the V6 beacon and the YL6 combination unit. All units feature an IP66 aluminium housing with machined flame paths which provides “ex d” ignition protection (flameproof enclosure).
Launched in 2003, with more than 1000 licences in use around the world, the Type3 software enables the creation of text and the integration of symbols or logos with just a few clicks in CATIA V5, to identify, mark, decorate or personalise parts during the design stages. In the new version, Type3 CAAV5 Based V.5.10, a number of innovations have been introduced to optimise the process further and make it easier to use. These include the entry of text from a single point, deformation-free projections and dongle-free operation.
