Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) today announced that the newly created France-based company NAAREA will use Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to virtually design its solution, the XSMR extra small sustainable modular nuclear reactor.
NSK’s Life-Lube® bearing units are proving increasingly popular in the food and beverage industry, and with good reason. These advanced bearings combine the corrosion-resistant properties of Silver-Lube® housings with the excellent sealing and lubricating properties of Molded-Oil inserts. Life-Lube® units are specifically for use in sectors where contact with water and process fluids is unavoidable, and where excellent chemical resistance and long lubrication life are primary requirements. By taking advantage of the benefits available, food and beverage plants can tap into considerable savings from reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
This follows the momentum of an eventful four months in BCN3D’s calendar, with the purchase of AstroPrint, launch of its new Cloud software and presentation of its new Metal Pack at Formnext in Frankfurt, featuring all the tools necessary to make affordable stainless steel 3D printing a reality.
The MINI manufacturing plant in Oxford has upgraded existing IE1/IE2 motors to IE5 synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and drive packages from ABB, increasing plant efficiency, reducing costs and lowering the carbon footprint of its operations.
Direct integration of OPC UA Pub/Sub communication into the TwinCAT 3 runtime paves the way for straightforward realisation of machine-to-machine (M2M) and device-to-cloud (D2C) scenarios based on the OPC UA Pub/Sub specification.
The new "RDK2" development kit from Rutronik is a complete solution for firmware and hardware developers. Based on the "RDK2", proof of concepts can be created quickly and the time-to-market of products is accelerated. The modular toolkit uses the PSoC62 microcontroller from Infineon Cypress and provides an excellent solution for applications in the Internet of Things, Industrial IoT (IoT, IIoT), Smart Wearables, and Smart Home.
Confined spaces and customized cable lengths are becoming increasingly common when it comes to the cabling of machines and systems. Whether for signal, data, or power transmission, the Phoenix Contact M12 Push- Lock connectors designed for assembly enable easy and reliable conductor connection.
Siemens Mobility and Stadtwerke München (SWM) successfully completed a one-year test of semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide (SiC) in an Avenio streetcar in Munich in August. They have now presented the results of their research. The study found that the motor noise produced by the vehicle fell sharply and that energy use declined as well during the trips that the tram made on Munich’s public-transportation rail network. The semiconductor technology was produced by Infineon Technologies. The tests were conducted as part of the European research and development project PINTA. By taking part in the trial, Siemens Mobility significantly contributed to efforts to integrate SiC power semiconductors into rail vehicles.
