• Caring for Cables
  machinery and constant repetitive motion will benefit from a cable carrier system. Typical applications range from machine tools, woodworking machinery and palletizers, to automated robots, cleanrooms and ship-to-shore cranes. igus'(R) line of cable carriers - known as Energy Chains(R) - are... igus(R...
• Measuring the long haul
  systems, get their name from the use of electronic multiplexing to check individual magnetic sensors in the read head. The technique works well on spans ranging from a few dozen feet to 1.7 km. The first application for Pomux was on large overhead cranes. Some of the more common uses today include...
• Precise Inputs for a Cleaner Environment
  When the sandhill cranes pass over the Platte River Valley in Nebraska this spring on their annual flight north, they'll fly over a cleaner environment. A decade has passed since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began a major clean water effort in the Corn Belt from the Platte River to the Des...
• Control panels get new ratings
  fault currents based on the size of the incoming service, type of feed transformer, and location of electrical equipment inside the facility. And most electrical components already carry an SCCR listing how much fault current they handle. But does every component in the panel possess a rating sufficient...
• Letters 8/20/2009
  carts do come with proper documentation. Most machines, equipment, and accessories from rental companies are dangerous if not used properly or if the equipment is not maintained properly. In most cases, the equipment is being rented by week-end warriors who only have a general idea how to use them...
• Controlling Chromium Fumes
  Knowing how to calculate the amount of weld fumes and, in turn, how to capture those fumes and provide clean air in the working environment has become especially important in light of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) new regulation for employee exposure to hexavalent...
• Industry Experts Forecast Future Changes in the Technologies
  guesses as to how the technologies they work with will change over the next several decades. Circuit boards get an update Printed-circuit boards (PCBs) have long been central to electronics. Among the more-recent PCB advances are ex circuits, with components and electrical connectors laid down...
• DSPs go heavy duty
  objects lets developers do custom control work. OEM engineers essentially "drag and drop" software modules into the vehicle-management system for a customized control. PROCESSOR CORE SELECTION. Decisions at Sauer-Danfoss that led to the use of DSPs illustrate how the technology excels. Eight and 16-bit...
