Manufacturing without limits (or bottlenecks)
Additive manufacturing (AM) generates significant interest due to its sense of creative freedom and ability to traverse both real and figurative boundaries. While this has so far found enormous support within smaller-scale manufacturing operations, it has become clear that larger manufacturers are also keen to benefit from the agile and innovative processes that AM can offer,…

Measuring natural gas at 67 bar and with 1m diameter
Gasunie is responsible for the natural gas distribution network in the Netherlands. The main transport pipeline, which runs roughly around the IJsselmeer, is 1.06 m in diameter (42″) and has a nominal pressure of 67 bar. Gasunie uses ultrasonic flow meters for flow measurement. What are the considerations for choosing an ultrasonic flow meter in…

Designing Tidal Turbines That Are Safe for Marine Life
Creating clean energy alternatives for energy sources that generate greenhouse gas is crucial if we are to avoid excessive global heating and the rising climate crisis. A viable, renewable energy source are ocean tides, which, unlike solar and wind resources, are not weather dependent, making them predictable. Tidal energy can be harnessed by deploying tidal turbines into tidal streams. This…
BKL helps Roche to speed-up installation of new analyzers
Roche Diagnostics Nederland is a supplier of diagnostic analysis equipment for medical labs. Due to the consolidation, more and more analyzers are being placed on a small surface. Sometimes these are also mechanically connected by a track transport. This presents a problem if one or more of these analyzers in a line need to be replaced by…
Extracting Electrical Circuits from Electromagnetics
Simulations One of the common objectives of electromagnetics simulation is to extract lumped quantities that can be used in electric circuit simulations. Keep reading to get step-by-step instructions on how to perform such a task using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software… Read more
XR20 rotary axis calibrator
The XR20 rotary axis calibrator works in conjunction with XL-80 and XM-60 laser systems providing highly accurate, repeatable rotary axis calibration for stages, jigs and machine tools. It consists of an integrated angular retroreflector mounted on a precision servo-controlled axis. The angular position of the axis, and the optics relative to the main body housing, is controlled by a…
