Voith and Icelandic national power company Landsvirkjun are embarking on a joint pilot project on innovative cavitation monitoring in hydropower plants. The technology group will install the innovative system, an add-on function for its OnCare.Health conditioning monitoring, at the Budarhals hydropower plant in Iceland.
During the international trade fair for optical technologies, components and systems on November 17-19 in Frankfurt am Main, Aerotech will exhibit motion control and automation solutions for the optics and photonics industry. A focus will also be high-precision solutions for the alignment of optical fibres and other photonic devices.
Murata has developed a 3rd generation of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) 4DoF (four-degrees-of-freedom) and 5DoF (five-degrees-of-freedom) inertial sensors that realize high-performance for safety critical automotive applications.
New, global legal requirements for marine protection and ever-increasing environmental awareness among the general public, along with the marine sector’s own desire to be more sustainable, means shipping companies are taking a close look at the fuels and lubricants they use on board.
Drive Systems evolved. Generally speaking, electric motors are not "lone wolves" but for most applications need to be combined with gearheads for speed reduction as well as encoders. To ensure that the components are perfectly matched to each other and to minimise installation requirements, it is recommended to obtain the individual components as a complete solution from a single source. Even in cases where installation space is extremely tight and where high-torque drives are required which, owing to the installation situation, need to be as short as possible, there is a practice-oriented solution that is especially suitable for applications in robotics, prosthetic joints, laboratory automation, pumps, medical technology or aircraft cabin equipment.
