We’ll show you how to quickly and faultlessly assemble and expand motor starters with the SIRIUS 3RV29 infeed system without complex wiring, and with less screws or special tools.
In aircraft construction, exceptional component quality and precision are crucial, for obvious reasons. However, sheet-metal aircraft parts are often extremely large, making machining and handling problematic. Working closely with CNC specialist Penta-Tec and with milling specialist A&T – a company that supplies Premium Aerotec, an Airbus subsidiary, with structural components – Harmuth CNC-Frästechnik has built large-format milling machines that use PC-based control technology from Beckhoff to successfully overcome these challenges.
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is a project of superlatives. After a long construction and planning period, the next-generation telescope is expected to go live in 2029. With seven mirrors and a combined diameter of 25 m, it will enable entirely new resolutions and even allow a look back into the time after the Big Bang. PC-based control from Beckhoff was specified as the future automation equipment.
After a lengthy period of connector manufacturers pursuing various approaches with regard to M12 PushPull locks, IEC 61076-2-010 is now finally bringing a system that is consistent across the industry. Or at least that is the opinion held by Dirk-Peter Post, Head of Global Product Management Circular Interface Connectors, Harting Electronics, and Jürgen Sahm, Senior Specialist Product Marketing Circular Connectors, Phoenix Contact, in this interview.
A sudden power outage can be a critical issue for businesses and organizations. If something happens to the power, then it’s important to get things up and running as soon as possible. For example, a construction company that is working in a remote or isolated location may be at risk for power outages. A back-up generator will minimize the risk of the operation losing power and the project getting significantly delayed.
In this modern age, the world around us is becoming more connected than ever before. Internet connected devices give us many conveniences in our personal lives, but how can we use this technology in the industrial environment? Let’s discuss the benefits of adding remote connectivity to your machines.
To encourage positive climate action across the world, industry groups and corporations around the world are leveraging their expertise to offset climate change. Pepperl+Fuchs is pleased to announce that SSI SCHAEFER—a Pepperl+Fuchs partner and provider of products and systems for material handling—has been recognized for its sustainability efforts.
When control equipment is used in the U.S., the UL standards have to be complied with in respect of safety and fire protection. The standards-compliant configuration of the control panel plays a major role here. Control circuits according to NEC Class 2 must be limited in power to 100 VA. By selecting the right power supply and fuse protection, acceptance can be simplified significantly and costs can also be saved.
Siemens Digital Industries Software can now deliver more seamless integration and data and process orchestration across the Xcelerator portfolio through an expanded strategic partnership with eQ Technologic (eQ). Building on the long relationship between Siemens and eQ, Siemens’ customers can now access the eQube Data as a Service platform to create digital threads connecting systems including Product Lifecycle Management (MLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Internet of Things (IoT), and other Information Technology (IT), Engineering Technology (ET) and Operational Technology (OT) solutions.
In a white paper released recently, ABB revealed that smart energy management systems can help facility managers reduce energy consumption by up to 45 percent. In “The new era of energy management,” ABB explains the multiple benefits of utilizing smart energy management systems that leverage new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are paving the way for greater efficiency and higher cost savings while ensuring sustainable operations.
Rittal North America celebrates the grand opening of our 3rd modification center in Sparks, Nevada, enhancing the capabilities of their 47,000 sq ft. facility. The Sparks facility is not only the host to an expansive supply of Rittal enclosures and climate control products, but is now a go to location for fast, efficient, and affordable enclosure modification and assembly.
In today’s dynamic production environments, companies are constrained by limited capabilities of their legacy DCS and their ability to support these legacy systems. This session explores the barriers and benefits of modernization, valuable methodologies, execution practices, and tools that assist in planning, budgeting and replacing legacy DCS systems.
To protect people from injuries caused by electricity, control panels that are used in the U.S. must be designed so that they ensure protection against direct contact. The U.S. standards therefore specify that the enclosure doors must be locked in accordance with specific guidelines, but that they must be accessible for maintenance and service by qualified personnel.In this series Siemens will provide two panel building tips articles for the remainder of 2020. Part 1 forcuses on Door Interlocking Requirements According to US Standards.
High speed motors, whether they be permanent magnet synchronous, induction or synchronous reluctance, provide a high efficiency, high power density motor that is being increasingly utilized in applications such as wastewater treatment blowers, industrial chiller compressors or industrial heat pumps. In order to reliably and efficiently operate these motors, a VFD designed for the required high frequency output is needed.
As the world reels from the immediate and secondary effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic, electronics manufacturers are struggling to enforce social distancing and protect their team members by finding ways to have fewer people in a working area at any given time.
