Drive technology for the Hanover Fair

shaft coupling

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.
Rectifier

Rectifier optimizes energy supply quality

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.
recuperation

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).
servo controller

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.
Inverter

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.
ODCA

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.

Automation for the Hanover Fair

robot software

Robot software for automated cable handling

Artiminds Robotics presents an innovative cable handling application for precise cable harness assembly in the Application Park. The sensor-based robot automation demonstrates the robust detection, picking and joining of freely hanging, slack parts such as lines and cables.
Cloud

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.
Radar sensor

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.
Gateway

Flexible customizable gateway for agricultural technology

IFM Electronic presents the Isobus Gateway, which is designed for agricultural equipment. By implementing a broad function library compatible with Codesys V2.3 or V3.5, the user interface can be efficiently adapted to specific needs.
Whitepaper

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.
 

Electrical engineering for the Hanover Fair

Interface

Interface conveniently monitors control cabinet climate

March 17.03.2024, 12 | Turck has expanded its area of ​​application with a relaunch of the IMXXNUMX-CCM control cabinet monitor. The devices can now be commissioned even more intuitively using haptic buttons instead of light buttons. The company has also improved the temperature range:
connectivity

All Electric Society – vision of the future of connectivity

Harting paints the future picture of an “All Electric Society”. Based on this, the focus is on topics such as sustainability and energy efficiency. The All Electric Society describes a world in which energy needs are met by electricity. The energy required for this is obtained from renewable resources.
