Automation and Control

HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Igus develops one-piece, space-saving energy chain for compact applications

    The one-piece, injection-molded energy chain offers a simplified and more reliable cable management solution for highly compact spaces.

  • EMCO Mecof Megamill: The giant milling machine that combines power, precision and connectivity

    The milling machine offers power, accuracy, and a level of automation and digitalization perfectly in line with the principles of Industry 4.0.

  • Southco E3 Compression Latch with Visual Indicator now available in zinc

    The latch features red, reflective indicator wings that can be easily viewed when open, so users can tell if the latch is secure with a quick glance.

  • Neugart introduces new rack-and-pinion drive systems

    With a new fully integrated gearbox-pinion-rack combination, Neugart expands its portfolio with a high-performance solution for maximum precision and efficiency in rack applications.

  • Scaling electric power transmission for high-torque, low-speed applications

    Diesel has been the default energy source for heavy equipment longer than most engineers care to remember.

  • Why CERN relies on KNF diaphragm pumps

    These diaphragm pumps circulate gas mixtures through the Large Hadron Collider to keep the gases contamination-free.

  • Tritium training simulator for fusion engineers

    The virtual simulator represents the world’s first tritium fuel cycle virtual control room.

  • Smarter, faster, flawless: AI-driven quality control in fluid filling

    Modern filling machines depend on networks of sensors and controllers that measure every part of the process. Pressure, flow, weight, temperature and visual data are gathered continuously and kept in sync across all filling heads.

  • An AI journey on an offshore oil and gas platform

    The case study demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can transform operations, decision-making and cost optimization on an oil platform.

  • New AI tool reveals airway obstructions often missed on CT imaging

    The AI model functions like a second set of eyes, helping radiologists detect these radiolucent — invisible on x-rays and faint on CT scans — objects earlier and more reliably.

  • Southco launches EC Damping Hinge

    The hinge uses an embedded torque engine to generate resistance only when needed the most, so the panels are easy to move but nearly impossible to slam shut.

  • Sweat-powered sticker transforms cups into health monitors

    The flexible sticker instead adheres to the outside of a drinking cup, where it collects trace amounts of sweat as a person grips the cup.

  • The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance

    Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.

  • Vanzetti Engineering strengthens its presence in the Asian marine market

    At Marintec China 2025, the company will showcase the latest technological developments in its range of LNG marine cryogenic pumps.

  • Rethinking 'standard' occupants: How inclusive testing improves auto safety

    Crash test dummies, called “anthropomorphic test devices”, were first developed for the military in 1949, then adopted by the automotive industry in the mid-1960s.

  • New compliance test tool release for OPC UA V1.05.06

    The tool can be used to test OPC UA client, server, publisher, subscriber and so-called Global Discovery Servers products for compliance to the OPC UA specification.

  • Transforming smartphone sensors into earthquake detectors

    The team believes that smartphones could be used to develop highly detailed site amplification maps using the built-in accelerometers in smartphones.

  • Laser-treated cork sensor detects sodium nitrite in beverages

    The team developed the sensor to detect sodium nitrite. In excess, the compound can reportedly cause health problems by leading to the creation of nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic compounds.

  • Technology with a human face

    FAULHABER drive systems bring mobility and elevated performance to humanoid robots.

  • Compact powerhouses with versatile configurability

    With a diameter of 14 mm, these portfolio additions open up new possibilities for modern, space-saving drive solutions.
