NORD DRIVESYSTEMS at Underhåll 2018 in Sweden: Intelligent Solutions for Production and Maintenance

Digitalisation of production is also fundamentally changing the field of maintenance and repair. Smart networking of plant and machinery enables the recording and evaluation of large amounts of performance data and therefore continuous status monitoring and predictive maintenance.

HMS Industrial Networks AB

Industrial Ethernet is now bigger than fieldbuses Industrial network market shares 2018 according to HMS

Industrial Ethernet has overtaken traditional fieldbuses in terms of new installed nodes in factory automation. This is the main finding in HMS Industrial Networks’ annual study of the industrial network market. Industrial Ethernet now accounts for 52% of new installed nodes (46% last year), while fieldbuses are on 42% (48). EtherNet/IP is now the most widely installed network at 15%, followed by PROFINET and PROFIBUS, both at 12%. Wireless technologies are also coming on strong with 6% market share.

Switching to a Dyneo® permanent magnet motor saves a fish feed producer at least 135,000 kWh per year

A Denmark-based specialist in aquafeed production has replaced an ageing, damaged DC motor on its principal extruder with a Dyneo® motor from Leroy-Somer, part of the Nidec group. The investment is providing the company with significant annual savings in energy costs.

Eichenberger Gewinde

Eichenberger Gewinde : Safety in the area of high voltage with cold-rolled ball screws. When the ball screw is in control of the electric arc

Electricity is, figuratively speaking, the lifeblood of our modern society and economy. Without it, nothing is possible. Circuit breakers are essential for the safe operation of our power supply. Among others, their task is to turn the entire output of a power plant on and off (in the gigawatt range) and to direct voltages up to 1,500 kV. The cold-rolled Carry ball screw from Burg (CH) plays an extremely important and responsible key part in this.
