With the two-stage NORDBLOC.1 bevel gear unit, NORD launched high performance, washdown-optimised aluminium drives for hygienic applications. Now, the drive specialist expands its successful series with smaller gear units for torques up to 50 Nm and thereby offers an efficient alternative to worm gear units – for example for smaller conveyor belts.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a wide range of smooth surface motors for industries and applications with high hygiene standards. In order to fully support the requirements of lower power motors, the drive specialist has now developed an additional motor size.

Delta, a global provider of power and thermal management solutions, is at Smart Building Levante 2018 with subsidiaries LOYTEC and VIVOTEK to show their latest smart building solutions. LOYTEC’s L ROC Room Controller, which enables a revolutionary room automation system based on IP, integrates with native BACnet/IP networks and LonMark systems at the controller level for lighting, temperature and blind control, occupancy detection and window monitoring, with IEC 61131 standards, if necessary. VIVOTEK’s fisheye network camera FE-9180-H series is an all-in-one surveillance solution that offers 180° panoramic (wall-mount) or 360° surround views with zero blind spots (ceiling-mount), thus, ideal for monitoring indoor open areas in airports, banks, shopping malls and more.
The rise of digitization also means that known processes and procedures are subject to change. Standards that have been valid and established thus far are now under examination, done away with entirely, or may need to be adapted. In many regards, there is a sense that the world is becoming increasingly complex, thus requiring a new level of expertise and strategies to successfully master the challenges of the future. For this reason, Leuze electronic is developing smart sensors to optimize the production processes of its customers and increase the productivity of their systems and machines.
