How poor power quality turns motors into maintenance headaches
Motors fail, not immediately, but over time because of power quality shortfalls. Whether it’s because of magnetic fields or inductance currents, the whole setup seems overly fraught.
Emerson to exhibit technologies that enhance machine performance, accelerate OEM time to market at Automate 2026
Emerson will present its latest high-quality, fit-for-purpose pneumatic and electric technologies and handling systems.
Tolomatic to showcase advanced motion solutions at Automate 2026
Highlights will be electric and servo linear actuators as automation solutions to replace legacy hydraulic systems, providing benefits including improved performance, maintenance and operational data capture.
A system for larger-scale hydrogen production
The Stack 250 can produce around 100 kg/day of high-purity hydrogen and is easily combined into larger units.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies develops the next generation of battery cell caps: Cell Caps 2
The technology can reduce cell cap height by up to 30%, which directly translates into higher energy capacity and longer operating time.
Deep learning versus continual learning for environmental control
Static models provide consistent, low-variance control under known conditions, while continual learning systems introduce flexibility at the cost of increased computational and operational complexity.
DIAvent maxFlow for high-performance batteries
Maximum flow rate, adjustable trigger pressure and autonomous resealing combine in a single degassing valve.
Hydrogen and chemicals derived from biowaste
A new electrochemical system enables the simultaneous production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals using waste glycerol.
Arburg at Interplas 2026: Pioneering trends for the British and Irish plastics industry
This marks the first time Arburg’s new standard electric Allrounder Trend machines will be on show to a large trade visitor audience in the U.K.
Improving operational visibility through integrated power and process monitoring
Electrical infrastructure is becoming more complex due to renewable integration, decentralized generation, high-speed automation systems and growing use of power electronics.
Bottled lightning turns methane into liquid fuel
Bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without the high heat and pressures required in current industrial processes.
A new spin on fuel for fusion
The spin polarization process now under development offers a path to significantly increase the energy output rate of fusion reactions.
Amsted Automotive wins Michigan Manufactured Export of the Year award with innovative one-way clutch system
This technology delivers fast and seamless powertrain transitions within transmissions and serves the internal combustion engine, hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle markets.
Structural flaw uncovered in lithium batteries
Lithium dendrites, a flaw in batteries, are observed to be strong and brittle, allowing them to pierce separators and cause safety risks.
Arburg at Plastpol 2026: Allrounder Trend to be seen in Poland for the first time
On display: an Allrounder 1800 e Trend with a Multilift Select -- a linear robot system that produces spatulas -- and the automated hybrid Allrounder 470 H producing drinking cups.
Design tradeoffs in electrifying industrial HVAC systems
Because electricity delivers energy at lower thermal gradients than fossil fuels, system design must prioritize heat recovery and thermal storage.
How all-electric subsea actuation is eliminating hydraulic infrastructure
While recent developments have proven all-electric systems work in new-build projects, efforts are also underway to make the technology adaptable for existing fields.
