'Sounce', an AI-supported acoustic testing software from MHP, has been in use at e-bike drive manufacturer Fazua, part of Porsche eBike Performance, since April 2024. The software detects noise anomalies in production.
KBK combines a rigid shaft coupling with a safety coupling in its second "Hero" coupling combination 'THH'.
Thanks to a new intermediate size of planetary screw drive from Bosch Rexroth, double the linear travel speed and cycle time can be achieved at the same speed.
In the field of generative AI, more patents have been registered from China every year since 2017 than from the rest of the world, reports the Wipo.
Lufthansa Industry Solutions has had its AI Maintenance Assistant assessed by TÜV SÜD and Calvin Risk. The aim was to ensure compliance with the EU AI Act in order to maintain a high level of legal certainty.
Car body parts for automobiles are manufactured from flat metal sheets, so-called blanks, in press shops. A Fraunhofer IWU inspection system helps to detect any defects at an early stage - even those that occur for the first time.
Beckhoff relies on consistent multicore and multitask support in its current 'TwinCAT MC3' Motion Control generation. Thanks to its modular architecture, axes implemented with 'TwinCAT NC2' can also be seamlessly integrated.
AI will also bring fundamental changes to industrial applications. What is interesting is the gap that is opening up between this realization and practice. Although most companies see the potential of AI, only a few dare to use it.

Can generative AI be inventive? In view of the rapid evolution of AI, this can perhaps be answered with a "yes" at present. In any case, LLMs are already useful tools when it comes to formulating requirement descriptions.
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.
