The new generation of decentralized Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for efficient, future-proof machine concepts
In mechanical engineering today, compact machine architectures, reduced wiring effort, and fast, secure integration directly at the plant are key priorities. At the same time, there is a growing need for more functionality in the field, such as control intelligence, positioning tasks, and future-proofing—especially in light of regulatory requirements like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
Modulaire laserlascel: veilig laserlassen én laserreinigen in uw eigen werkplaats
Wie investeert in een handheld laserlasser of laserreiniger, krijgt al snel met dezelfde vraag te maken: hoe maak ik mijn werkplaats laserveilig zonder mijn hele indeling om te gooien? Een modulaire laserlascel is daarop vaak het meest praktische antwoord. In deze blog leggen we uit wat een modulaire laserlascel precies is, waarom laserklasse 4-apparatuur een afgeschermde werkruimte vereist,…

Deal with mm and with AWG
Are you also an engineer who sometimes has to deal with mm and sometimes with AWG? With thinner wire diameters it is not so easy to find a conversion table: We have now added this to our website. Read more [Picture source: KUK Coils on linkedin.com]
What it takes to make AI really work in manufacturing
AI offers enormous opportunities for industry. Machines that predict their own maintenance, systems that can find the right information within seconds, software that optimizes processes. The technology already exists. But why do some organizations succeed in creating real value from it while others do not? Download the whitepaper
We built a gas mixer, and it’s actually really amazing
This system takes a source gas from a cylinder and dilutes it to an exact concentration, automatically, reliably, and clean enough for one of the most demanding environments on the planet: the semiconductor industry. Read more
Servo motor or torque motor? The answer isn’t always obvious
Summer is the perfect time to catch up on technical knowledge. So, here is one worth adding to your watch list. In Engineering Insight #3, our application engineer Stefan Jansen explains the practical differences between torque motors and conventional servo motors. Read more
SWIR Line Scan Cameras for Industrial Inspection
The JAI Wave Series delivers SWIR line scan imaging for industrial inspection at production speed. Designed for applications where material composition, moisture distribution, or subsurface conditions are the inspection variable, it provides the spectral contrast that visible-spectrum cameras cannot.

Van gereedschap naar ballast
Ik heb nog nooit een PLM-project zien ontsporen door de software zelf. Toch hoor ik regelmatig dat een PLM-systeem te complex is geworden, dat gebruikers er niet mee willen werken of dat het na jaren vooral extra werk lijkt op te leveren. Het opmerkelijke is dat de oorzaak daarvan vaak al ruim vóór de Go Live…
