The SimΩn rectifier from Condensator Dominit is an active, modular rectifier that uses advanced, low-loss semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide. This makes it possible to attenuate the energy supply networks across a broad spectrum and efficiently reduce interference levels, while at the same time offering low-loss and highly dynamic reactive current compensation.
Four applications to save braking energy
We will introduce you to four interesting applications in which Michael Koch's active energy management systems are successfully used. What they all have in common is that the devices for saving braking energy result in savings in the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Certified servo controller with Profisafe interface
Wittenstein is presenting the innovative servo controller “Cyber Simco drive 2” at Logimat in Stuttgart. This safety-certified servo controller with Profisafe interface is available in the performance variants SIM2050 and SIM2100 with an integrated safety card. Combined with the drive actuator, the servo controllers are suitable for use in the "Cyber Itas System 2" servo drives for applications such as AGVs.
Modular frequency converter with maximum performance
The modular Inveor concept of Kostal's frequency converters allows all types of motors to be controlled without sensors. You can combine motors or gearboxes with this frequency inverter, regardless of manufacturer. You can also save costs in the long term because the Inveor controls all types of engines with maximum efficiency.
Michael Koch GmbH becomes a member of the ODCA
As the newest member of the ODCA working group, Michael Koch GmbH, with its expertise in active DC energy management devices and safe braking resistors, strengthens the mission of advancing DC technology worldwide - with a rich portfolio and extensive experience in electric drive technology.
Torque measuring shaft coupling
Mayr Antriebstechnik presents smart clutches such as the new Roba-drive-checker steel multi-plate clutch, which can transmit more than just torque and compensate for shaft misalignment. Rather, they offer users the opportunity to get to know their processes in detail and to constantly monitor their status.
Automation for the Hanover Fair
Ex-protected tablet with augmented reality qualities
Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its “Tab-Ex” tablet series with the “Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 / D2” device. This is based on the robust Samsung Galaxy Tabactive4 Pro. It features a bright but lightweight 10” touchscreen with 480 nits and the latest hardware and connectivity standards. The modern tablet is very powerful for innovative applications such as augmented reality.
IO module secures hydrogen filling stations from Resato
As the market for H2 mobility grows, the infrastructure is increasingly coming into focus. Together with Turck, Resato Hydrogen Technology has implemented an innovative concept for hydrogen filling stations: Modular stations equipped with IP67 Atex I/O modules guarantee quick commissioning and high scalability.
Cloud solution and new safety locks
The Schmersal Group presents innovations for the safe, efficient and sustainable design of machines and systems. With the Schmersal Cloud, data and information from production can be collected, made available centrally in the back office and analyzed in real time. In addition to networked sensors and actuators, the field level as the basis of the IIoT solution also includes safety switching devices.
Industrial radar sensor with CAN interface
The new radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs for recording distance, speed and direction of movement are extremely compact. Housed in an IP68/69 housing, they are particularly robust. The design also allows maximum flexibility during assembly. The rotatable and pivotable sensor head of the radar sensor can be optimally aligned to the target area in almost any installation situation.
5 stumbling blocks in robot automation
More and more companies are dealing with the topic of robot automation. But many projects still fail during planning. A free white paper from Artiminds analyzes the five most underestimated stumbling blocks when using robots and shows which aspects you should pay attention to.
