Ingenious and ergonomic design of steerable guidewires

Guidewires have been used for ages to perform image-guided procedures in the circulatory system, such as angioplasty, catheter insertion, stent placement and brain surgery. They require precise intravascular steerability for accessing difficult-to-reach anatomical locations and limiting damage inside the body. We developed…

Generation 2 vacuum ironless linear motor series is designed with the unique challenges of vacuum applications in mind and based on years of collaboration with high-end semiconductor manufacturers. The portfolio is suitable for even the strictest vacuum requirements with a large force range. Read more

Leveraging Machine Vision and Machine Learning for Defect Detection

Machine vision and machine learning have revolutionized defect detection in agriculture, offering an unparalleled combination of accuracy, speed, and scalability. By automating the inspection process, farmers and producers can enhance the quality of their products, reduce waste, and streamline operations. As these technologies continue to advance, they hold the promise of creating a more resilient…

What is On-line Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry?

On-line Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (OEMS) is an advanced analytical technique that combines electrochemical methods with mass spectrometry. It enables real-time monitoring and analysis of evolved gases during electrochemical processes and is an extension of Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS). OEMS plays an important role in various scientific fields, offering valuable insights into reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and the behaviour of…

The importance of cleanroom validation

Do you know whether your cleanroom still meets the desired ISO class?Managing Director Niels Ferguson explains: “Due to use, aging, contamination or damage to components, it is possible that the cleanroom no longer achieves its desired ISO class. A higher than desired ISO-class can have very adverse effects on the work process and end product(s).”

Encoders for automated guided vehicles

Optimum AGV motion control calls for compact, high-performance rotary encoders such as the KCI/KBI inductive rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN and the flat-profile R35i/R35iL optical rotary encoders from RENCO. Immune to vibration, contamination and magnetic fields, these feedback devices ensure safe and reliable AGV operation. Watch the video [Source:heidenhaintv on YouTube.com]
