HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Breakthrough high-performance gyroscope for automotive, aeronautic and industrial applications

    The world's first nanoelectromechanical system-based gyroscope operates at 50 kHz in severe environments.

  • Attend the virtual Motor-CAD Global Summit 2021

    Motor designers can learn about technological developments in e-machine design and participate in interactive design clinics during the free event.

  • App makes the supply chain more visible

    A new shipment tracking app could enable companies to monitor their products along the supply chain in real time.

  • Velodyne and Beijing Trunk to develop driverless trucks for China’s logistics market

    The lidar will be used to strengthen object awareness and detection in these autonomous trucks.

  • Measurement and control of compressed air systems

    Many manufacturing processes require a constant supply of compressed air. The air may be used for many different reasons: for example, the actuation and control of pneumatic valves, cylinders and controllers.

  • Watch: Seismic shield engineered for Giant Magellan Telescope

    A seismic isolation system protects the 22-story rotating observatory and seven of the world’s largest monolithic mirrors from being damaged by earthquakes.

  • Watch: Robotic X-ray inspection improves cast automotive wheel production

    The robotic inspection system is ideal for inline operation in the mass production of cast aluminum automotive wheels.

  • Versatile system measures ship-generated underwater noise

    Researchers adapted existing equipment to develop a waterproof aerial drone capable of measuring underwater radiated noise.

  • GM shows off an all-electric flying car at CES 2021

    Fiat Chrysler will also help to develop an air taxi with Archer.

  • Video: Kodiak self-driving truck travels 205 miles, disengage free

    The company then ran eight additional disengagement free runs in Texas.

  • Smart valve will automate agricultural, fishery applications

    GloryKylin has manufactured a smart water valve for the automation of agriculture, fishery and animal husbandry.

  • Borescope enhances temperature monitoring of furnaces

    The instrument enables highly accurate and fully radiometric temperature measurement image data to be taken, stored and trended over the lifetime of a furnace.

  • Glass fiber-based sensor network to safeguard drinking water supplies

    The use of glass fibers to assemble fiber optical turbidity sensors offers the benefits of lower cost and thermal stability.

  • USAF to fund adapting radar for flying cars

    Metawave awarded a contract for advancing capabilities for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

  • Video: New Industrial DataOps solution for smart manufacturing

    HighByte Intelligence Hub version 1.3 makes it faster and easier for manufacturers to merge industrial data with enterprise systems and deliver ready-to-use information to the cloud.

  • Watch how this sensor monitors home water usage

    A smart watch can tell the user the time but a really smart watch can gauge home water use.

  • Polymers pinpoint drug precursors in wastewater

    An automated sensor system incorporating highly selective molecularly imprinted polymers was engineered to detect the presence of banned and illicit drugs in wastewater.

  • Servo series features motion safety functionality

    AC servomotors and drives with built-in safety functions can help prevent machine stoppages and achieve zero-loss production due to synchronized emergency stops.

  • Edge app designed to make drives smarter

    The app includes intelligent functions based on high-frequency data exchange that allow users to perform complex analyses of data already collected in drives.

  • Retrofit your vehicles with collision protection

    Forklift drivers need a high level of concentration when maneuvering in reverse. The camera-based anti-collision system from ifm automatically detects persons and obstacles, warns the driver and stops the vehicle.
