Turck: Frequency transducer up to 20 KHz
Turck has added the IMX12-FI frequency transducer to its range of IMX interface devices. Users can not only use the devices as rotational speed monitors but also as pulse counters. In both modes, the single-channel and two-channel variants can transfer input frequencies of up to 20,000 Hz.
VR roller coaster powered by servo motors become reality
Nowadays servo motors are used not only in industry and mechanical engineering, but also in innovative areas such as Virtual Reality. In this context, word of Kollmorgen's high-performance motor and drive technology has spread as far as India. Kollmorgen helped to drive the 3 DOF platforms for a high-tech virtual reality application for Smaaash in India. Servo-geared motors and drives support the thrill of a roller coaster simulator.
NSK solves bearing failure problems at concrete pipe plant
Faced with regular bearing failures on the blade support of a concrete pipe-slotting machine that would cause 8 hours of downtime each time, the UK-based company in question turned to NSK for assistance. As part of NSK’s AIP Added Value Programme, a team of engineers scrutinised the application and determined that the ingress of concrete dust into the bearings was the root cause of the problem.

When automation needs a sensitive touch
Haptic force/torque sensors offer companies the opportunity to increase their production efficiency in many areas of application to a significant degree. They open up brand-new potential for automation, especially in the refinement of delicate surfaces, packaging, precision assembly, and quality control.

Chinese winemaker optimizes production with modern MES-System
One of the biggest wine producers at China east coast uses largely manual methods to harvest the grapes from its approximately 1,270-hectare wine-growing estate. But before and after the grape harvest, the winemaker uses modern technologies to ensure a continuous improvement in the quality of its wines. Its focus is on a Simatic IT Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and a specially developed application software.
Booming underground traffic in London and Weidmüller heavily involved
Enclosures specially manufactured by the Detmold-based electrical engineering company protect sensitive technology for new systems in what is currently the largest rail infrastructure project in the world for the modernisation of signalling equipment.
Positioning with maximum reliability large reading window
The PXV 2-D absolute positioning system from Pepperl+Fuchs sets new performance benchmarks when it comes to reliability and handling. With its large reading window, the system keeps a sufficient number of codes in view, even in relation to track switches and changes to the code tape. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times.

Technology from Stahl Cranesystems stands the test in the Egyptian heat
Up to 140 tons heavy and up to 40 meters long: the prefabricated concrete parts made by the Egyptian manufacturers ECPC Company are real heavyweights. On top of this come heat and dust – none of which are a problem for the proven technology from Stahl Cranesystems, which does not even work up a sweat in the face of such extreme conditions.
