In addition to the driver's skills, the engine, tires and aerodynamics are also crucial to the success of a racing car. The Swiss racing experts at Sauber therefore test models of their racing cars in the wind tunnel. In the test chamber, brushless DC motors are used to position the adjustable components on the racing car models.
Pfeiffer Vacuum at the Achema 2024
Pfeiffer Vacuum will be presenting innovative vacuum solutions at Achema 2024 in Frankfurt am Main. This year, the company is placing a special focus on safe vacuum generation in potentially explosive environments and the evacuation of explosive gases.
Retooling processes on robot systems are necessary in order to be able to react to changing workpiece and production variants. However, each of these set-up processes causes unproductive times, harbors the potential for errors and requires additional knowledge and training. Concepts for minimizing set-up times are therefore economically necessary in order to have as little impact on productivity as possible.
Technical cleanliness is an important quality feature. Particularly with regard to electromobility, the relationship between technical cleanliness and tightness plays a decisive role in the reliable functioning of the connection.
Polytec offers the ODiSI-7000 system family for fiber optic-based measurement of temperature and strain profiles. The fiber optic interrogator differs from fiber Bragg-based systems due to its high spatial resolution of less than 1 millimeter.
PFAS chemicals are widely used in many industries due to their stability and resistance to water and grease. In the production of semiconductors, for example, membranes containing PFAS are used in various process steps. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP have now developed a sustainable alternative in the form of a new type of PFAS-free membrane.
Deep tech company idealworks announces that its robotics portfolio will soon integrate Nvidia AI, Nvidia Omniverse and Nvidia Isaac technologies to drive both the development and adoption of vision AI robots.
Hardware module for fleet management
Kärcher is making its fleet management flexible with a hardware module. Users receive real-time data on the location and operating times of their machines.
Industrial companies should accelerate their data-driven transformation, says Rob McGreevy, Chief Product Officer at Aveva. In an interview with the editorial team, he talks about how this can be achieved and how companies can tap into the potential of AI and industrial data.
Under the banner of Industry 4.0, production facilities are increasingly developing into "smart factories" in which individual production steps are monitored in real time with the help of intelligent machines and sensors and the overall process is organized more effectively. norelem also has some of these "smart products" in its range.
