Baumüller offers motors from the DST2 series. With a torque range from 325 to 60,000 Nm, they are used in numerous applications.

Networked cordless screwdriver
The quality requirements for assembly are also becoming increasingly important for inspection work and field operations. Atlas Copco offers intelligently networked high-torque cordless screwdrivers for this purpose.
Improved deceleration is used when forces from compressors, turbochargers or larger displacements need to be slowed down. In automation, too, engineers are making their designs more efficient and safer by using components for deceleration.
Today's aircraft production and maintenance is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. The start-up 3D.aero is making the industry fit for the fourth industrial revolution with new automation solutions.
Inductive charging concept for AGVs
With in-process charging, the start-up Wiferion has developed an inductive fast-charging system with high levels of efficiency. The solution enables the intermediate charging of lithium-ion batteries, eliminating charging breaks and increasing AGV availability.
NASA uses ultrasound to detect bearing damage at an early stage. This technology, combined with artificial intelligence, could now help condition-based maintenance, in the sense of predictive maintenance, to achieve a breakthrough.
The mobile laser system from Mobil-Mark ensures complete documentation of process steel strips at Ipco.

With a new Modbus RTU communication module, the energy management company Eaton is expanding the communication options of its PKE electronic motor-protective circuit-breakers.
Industrial Ethernet plays a key role in process automation. End-to-end solutions for IP communication from the control room to field level are already available today, including hazardous areas in the process industry.
