Whether soldering, induction brazing or laser welding the weld filler metal is often delivered by wire. The system must always deliver a reproducible length of filler metal to the correct destination, but without jolting or bending the wire in the process. A new automatic wire feeder driven by a Faulhaber controlled micromotor is now providing a reliable solution to this problem.
Businesses such as data centers, banks, hospitals and supermarkets need constant access to power. By implementing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), these businesses make sure that they always have an immediate back-up if the main power should fail. But how do you make sure that the back-up always is operational without physically visiting it every day? Eaton has found a way by using the Netbiter remote management solution from HMS Industrial Networks. It enables Eaton to access to real-time data about each UPS, to offer a faster service and to reduce travelling.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has extended its SK 200E family of decentralized drive solutions with a new size 4 inverter with a rated power output from 11 to 22 kW.
