Performance Motion Devices (PMD) has launched the 'ION/CME N-Series' digital drive on the European market - single-axis motion controllers with integrated power electronics and network communication.

The Motion Controller 22xx...BX4 IMC from Faulhaber is already integrated in the brushless motors of the '22xx...BX4' family. The increase in length compared to the individual motor is 18 mm and includes a fully-fledged servo controller and a 12-bit encoder.

The 'EII102' counting, timing and incremental encoder module from Bachmann's 'M100' series records input signals at up to 32 MHz with quadrature evaluation, which, according to the supplier, allows high resolutions of the incremental encoder even at high movement speeds.

High-temperature heat pumps for sustainable process heat supply will be developed in the new building of the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes in Zittau.

Vega's high-temperature version of the 'Vegapuls 6X' radar sensor is suitable for processes at temperatures of up to +450 °C, such as iron briquetting, in which porous sponge iron mass passes through heat-resistant roller presses at temperatures of +400 °C and above.

In collaboration with Codesys, Fraunhofer IEM has integrated static code analysis development methods into the Codesys development environment commonly used for PLCs.

Puls offers three DIN rail power supply units with 240 W and 480 W output power and an integrated Ethercat interface, which provide power supply and application data such as voltage and current characteristics on the input and output side.

Germany's mechanical engineering companies have suffered a significant setback in incoming orders. Growth in April was followed by a significant slump in May.

The occupancy rate of offices in Germany is falling, which offers potential savings for the boardroom. Thanks to sensor technology, AI and digital twins, rooms are being used more intelligently.

There are obviously conciliatory tones between industry and the Chancellery. How the Chancellor presents himself to industry.

In June 1974, a barcode was scanned on a product at a supermarket checkout for the first time. Experts expect the code to be replaced in a few years' time.

How can supply chains for the chip industry become more independent and better protected? The coronavirus pandemic in particular has highlighted the problems for Germany and Europe. There is already a role model.

Avnet has appointed Rebeca Obregon as the new President of Farnell, an Avnet company, effective July 1, 2024. Farnell is a high-service distributor of electronic components.

Softing IT Networks launches the 'CableMaster PoE', a handy wiring tester with integrated length measurement and tone generator. It also performs PoE (Power over Ethernet) tests up to class 8 and 90W (PoE++).

Rohde & Schwarz has developed the isolated probe system 'RT-Ziso', which enables accurate measurements of fast switching signals, especially in environments with high common-mode voltages and currents.
