A new carbon capture plant in the UK, the largest of its kind, has chosen smart sensor technology from ABB to provide remote condition monitoring on critical motors, thereby reducing the number of man-hours required on site.
Rolls-Royce has announced a $17.4 million investment at its mtu Aiken manufacturing facility in Graniteville, S.C. for the addition of a new Remanufacturing and Overhaul Regional Center.
Additional digital inputs and outputs are now available for the safety laser scanner PSENscan: Up to 70 switchable configurations can now be implemented and up to three separate safety zones can be monitored simultaneously thanks to the new 17-pin and master encoder types. So stationary areas can be monitored more productively – also using the new partial dynamic muting for example. And new functions for the intralogistics sector – such as encoder evaluation, standby mode and more precise navigation – also provide for more efficient monitoring of mobile applications.
Designed to visually scan large areas for moisture issues, air leaks, electrical problems, and more, the FLIR MR265 Moisture Meter and Thermal Imager with MSX empowers professionals to quickly identify and locate water leaks and other moisture issues at the source. This dual thermal imager and measurement tool combines a 160 × 120 resolution Lepton® thermal camera, visual camera, laser pointer, and both pin and pinless moisture detection for faster leak identification and measurement, plus offers easy reporting through the FLIR Thermal Studio Suite.
iWire, one of the emerging leaders in the Internet of Things, has just raised $34 million in Series A funding, led by Noor Capital and supported by Bpifrance, to accelerate its development and enter new markets.
Delegates at EMO Milano 2021 are invited to the Renishaw stand to learn about the new enclosed encoder that enables machine tool builders to improve machine tool performance and increase uptime while enhancing the efficiency of assembly, maintenance and servicing.
