Seamless Rail Maintenance with Mobile Welding Machines and Spare Parts

by

Traveling along the railway has been a popular mode of transportation for many years. In some cities, trains are even more significant than buses or cars, keeping people connected and goods transported swiftly across long distances.

However, it’s no easy job for railway operators responsible for working hard to keep the lines in top condition for safety and efficiency.

You can travel for miles and miles on the railway, county to county in some cases; so you can imagine how demanding it can be to keep miles of railway machinery in full working condition. [Read more…] about Seamless Rail Maintenance with Mobile Welding Machines and Spare Parts

Bota Systems launches ‘highly sensitive’ robotics force-torque sensor

by

Bota Systems, a pioneer in multi-axis force-torque sensors, is excited to announce the launch of the MiniONE Pro.

This advanced six-axis force-torque sensor offers exceptional sensitivity and compactness, empowering small robotic systems with enhanced feedback capabilities.

The MiniONE Pro acts as a crucial connector between robot arms and probes, providing highly sensitive feedback for improved performance. With a high sampling rate of up to 2000Hz and an ultra-low-noise signal delivering an accuracy of better than 2 per cent, the MiniONE Pro offers precise measurements.

Integrating this sensor is seamless, as it is already plug-and-play compatible with popular small-scale industrial robots such as the Yaskawa MotoMini and the Mecademic Meca500. [Read more…] about Bota Systems launches ‘highly sensitive’ robotics force-torque sensor

NXP launches new bluetooth devices for automotive and industrial markets

by

NXP Semiconductors has launched new devices within its KW3x range of microcontrollers (MCUs). The new KW39/38/37 MCUs add Bluetooth 5.0 long-range capabilities and expanded Bluetooth advertising channels.

These enhancements are made while offering seamless migration with hardware, software and tools compatibility with the previous generation of devices, KW34/35/36.

The connectivity MCUs allow Bluetooth LE devices to communicate at distances of more than a mile and increase the amount of Bluetooth advertising channels and advertising data within the Bluetooth standard, the predominant IoT protocol.

Siemens adds module to Ruggedcom for industrial networks

by

Siemens has introduced a new line module for the Ruggedcom RST2228 and RST2228P Layer 2 19” rack switches, the Ruggedcom RMM2972-2RNA.

This module strengthens the Ruggedcom RST2228 19” rack switch offering to the electric power utilities by providing seamless redundancy with PRP/HSR (Parallel Redundancy Protocol/High-availability Seamless Redundancy), enhanced IEEE1588 implementation, high bandwidth uplinks, and traffic filtering and segmentation from a single device.

This module eliminates network downtime due to single points of fault, resulting in high reliability and availability for modern digital substation applications as mandated by the IEC 61850 standard. [Read more…] about Siemens adds module to Ruggedcom for industrial networks
