Door de ervaring die ik in de loop der jaren heb opgedaan met zware industriële toepassingen, heb ik gezien wat de gevolgen van corrosie kunnen zijn. Wereldwijd zijn de kosten door corrosie gigantisch: volgens de NACE meer dan 2000 miljard euro. De industrie neemt bijna 60% daarvan voor haar rekening. Een bovengemiddeld aandeel komt op het conto van de chemie, de procesindustrie en de olie- en gassector.

On May 18 Punch Powertrain and XPT have signed a joint venture agreement that will establish a new manufacturing plant in Nanjing and will yearly supply hundreds of thousands of Electric Powertrains to customers of both partners.

Sioux heeft Nr. 6 uit de Lightyear One ‘Signature Edition’ gekocht. Hiermee krijgt Sioux één van de eerste tien solarwagens die in 2019 van de band af zullen rollen. Deze revolutionaire, elektrische gezinswagen kan zichzelf opladen tijdens het rijden. Hiermee is schone mobiliteit niet langer afhankelijk van laadpalen.

Sorting and kitting of cut composite plies is getting more and more complex and has become a real labor intense activity. As a matter of fact, it is the key driver when it comes to clean room efficiencies. To significantly reduce touch labor and to radically improve clean room efficiencies, Airborne has developed an automated ply picking and sorting solution that places the cut composite plies into kits in the right order.

We call it our Automated Kitting Solution. And it might just be what you are looking for. 

From manually operated to automated process valves, the new configurator for process valves from Festo makes selecting the optimum solution child’s play. Simply select a few parameters and the configurator will immediately suggest appropriate combinations, making engineering in the process industry fast, reliable and easy.

Thanks to their ability to “tune out” specific frequencies, electromagnetic band gaps (EBGs) are found in many different applications. EBGs can suppress unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) and increase electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). These structures are commonly used between nearby antennas, which can help minimize undesirable coupling and thereby enhance their performance. However, using an EBG isn’t always a guarantee for better antenna isolation. To analyze the effectiveness of an EBG, engineers can use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and add-on RF Module.

Ever play the game Jenga? That’s the one where players try to remove one wooden block at a time from a tower constructed of 54 blocks, placing each block they remove higher on the tower, without making the whole thing collapse. The principal of the game is simple: as long as the foundation is solid, you’ll be successful.

The Specification Phase or “Spec Phase” of a test project is kind of like the foundation of a Jenga tower: it’s an essential building block to testing success!

There is a growing trend
towards ever smaller control cabinets, and control systems, remote I/Os and valve terminals from Festo are no exception. The modular control system CPX-E and the universal valve terminal VTUG are now combined into one solution package.

The innovativeness of the packaging industry means that new challenges are constantly arising with regard to the systems and machines that it uses. Increasing digitisation is and will continue to be a part of the current and future requirements for packaging machines. The following across-the-board trends are becoming more and more important.

The student racing team Forze Hydrogen Electric Racing has announced BWT (Best Water Technology) to be their new main sponsor. BWT is also the current main sponsor of Formula 1 team Force India. The announcement took place during the 24H of the Nürburgring. At the same time, the student team presented their latest hydrogen race car: The Forze VIII, in full pink, magenta and silver colors of BWT. For the student team the presentation is extra special because of the collaboration with the new big sponsor BWT, European market leader in water technology. In addition to Formula 1 BWT now also sponsors the student racing team that runs on hydrogen. For BWT, this means the first step towards racing on hydrogen.
