A New Benchmark in Sub-Nanosecond Laser Technology

Photonics Industries has unveiled the SN-1064-250, a groundbreaking sub-nanosecond laser system delivering 250W average power, 2.5 mJ pulse energy, and adjustable pulse widths from <100 ps to 5 ns. This ultra-compact, all-in-one monolithic laser head supports harmonics at 532 nm, 355…

What OpenTelemetry Solves in Machine Vision

Industrial machine vision systems involve multiple interconnected soft- and hardware components, edge devices, and data processing pipelines. When systems fail or underperform in deployed environments, debugging becomes challenging. Reproducing issues in laboratory conditions proves time-consuming or impossible when hardware-specific or environmental factors contribute to the problem. Read more

De verdere ontwikkeling van de IO-Link-technologie maakt een naadloze communicatie mogelijk – van het besturingsniveau tot de integratie van veiligheidsgerelateerde sensoren en actuatoren. De IO-Link Safety Master PDP67 van Pilz biedt als allround apparaat diverse mogelijkheden voor het aansluiten van de meest uiteenlopende apparaten, waaronder IO-Link en IO-Link Safety, veilige in- en uitgangssignalen alsmede standaardsignalen.

(Circular) Product Design in Healthtech & Care

The healthcare sector is constantly innovating, but at the same time it is one of the largest producers of waste. This calls for a new approach to product development that focuses on circularity. By considering reuse, recycling and material value right from the design stage, we develop medical products that are not only safe and functional,…

Nijdra Group investeert in nieuwste technologie

Het gaat goed met Nijdra Group. Bovendien zien we nog altijd volop groeikansen. Om die reden investeerden we onlangs voor een kleine 2,5 miljoen euro. In onze fabrieken vervingen we een deel van het machinepark door een viertal hypermoderne draai- en freesmachines die de allernieuwste technologieën en de laatste stand van automatisering herbergen. We zijn kortom…

The Productivity Paradox

Investments in IT, including Engineering IT tools and methods such as CAD and PLM, were initially driven to increase efficiency and productivity in engineering. Similarly, initiatives in other areas of the value chain such as cost-down initiatives were aimed at the same target. However, it can be observed that overall economic productivity seems to have reached a plateau, despite increasing…

How do you know if a 3D-printed part really matches the design?

In industries like automotive and additive manufacturing, this question is critical. Even the smallest deviation between a digital model and the real product can impact quality and reliability. That challenge was tackled in a recent graduation project at Sioux AI Solutions. The research explored 3D Point Cloud Registration: the process of aligning a 3D scan with…
