300 W Power Sink optie voor programmeerbare voedingen maakt snelle down-programmering mogelijk, ook onder nullastcondities
TDK Corporation kondigt de introductie aan van de Power Sink optie (PSINK) voor de 1,7 kW en 3,4 kW modellen van de TDK-Lambda GENESYS+™ serie programmeerbare DC-voedingen met hoge vermogensdichtheid. Omdat de PSINK tot 300 W piekvermogen en 100 W continu kan absorberen en dissiperen, kan met deze optie het down-programmeren tot 25 keer sneller verlopen, met…
Solving the Superconductor Teaching Challenge with Apps
Why are superconductors and their applications such a challenging subject to teach? Francesco Grilli, a researcher and professor from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has an idea as to why — and a solution to the problem. By building simulation applications and making them available in a web browser, Grilli helps present this complex topic in a captivating way…
Metric vs. imperial: A look at AWG and mm in coil engineering
Both the AWG and metric system (mm) are used in coil design. The choice between them depends on the application, regional and personal preferences of the engineer. Both scales have advantages and disadvantages, and it’s important to be familiar with both and convert between them as needed. Read more

Linear motors vs other drive systems
Linear motion can be achieved by using different types of drive systems. Depending on the requirements of the application different drive systems can be beneficial for your machine. Belt drive, rack & pinion, ball screw and linear motors are often considered as four common linear drive systems. This page briefly introduces each of these systems,…
Identificatie en Toegangsbeheer – I.A.M.
Van toegangsbeheer tot veilige bedrijfsmodusselectie, tot onderhoudsbewaking en bescherming van data en netwerken – in al deze gevallen is daarbij identificatie en toegangsbeheer van essentieel belang. Alle geautoriseerde mensen mogen immers ‘binnen’ komen, net als bij u thuis. De sleutel tot moderne machines en installaties is daarbij niet meer de fysieke sleutel zoals aan uw sleutelbos. Een moderne sleutel is…

Transition to milking robotics
The transition to automatic milking was not always without challenges for Agri-Robotique. Farmers here in Canada often said, “If I can no longer milk my cows myself, I’ll sell my farm”. They did not believe in robotic farming and saw it as something negative and expensive. It was in this transition that the challenge lay.
Over time, more and more…
