How automation is transforming fluid power

24 October, 2024

As the demand for precision, efficiency, and safety grows, fluid power systems are increasingly integrated with automation technologies. H&P reports.


Beyond the cab: Making the case for remote controls

03 October, 2024

Autonomy and teleoperation are big news, and with good reason. These advances in machine technology are helping overcome common industry challenges, such as job site safety and productivity. But there’s another method for delivering these same benefits, and one with much lower hurdles to entry: radio remote controls. Still at the cutting edge, these devices are becoming more technologically and ergonomically advanced. Idoia Maiz, portfolio manager, Connect and Control Solutions, Danfoss Power Solutions, explains further.


Transforming offshore oil production

05 September, 2024

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) aims to boost oil production to five million barrels daily by 2030. Key to this is the Belbazem block, a $744 million offshore oilfield project. Efficient Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are crucial for this output, therefore WEG, the motors and drives specialist, was asked to supply medium voltage variable speed drives (MV VSDs) to power Belbazem’s ESPs, optimising local unused oil and gas resources.


Emerging trends in electro-pneumatic systems

21 August, 2024

H&P looks at the emerging trends of electro-pneumatics, exploring how integration with IoT, energy efficiency, advanced control, miniaturisation, safety enhancements, and AR training are shaping the future of industrial automation.


Pushing the limits, preventing problems

16 July, 2024

Electrification isn’t just a matter of switching out the diesel engine for an electric motor. It requires a thorough review of connected systems – in particular the hydraulic system. Using the same components in electric machines as those used in conventional machines often requires more battery power or a larger electric motor. H&P reports.


Exploring the potential & challenges of electro-hydraulic systems in manufacturing

08 July, 2024

Manufacturers are considering electro-hydraulic systems to boost efficiency and precision. Yet, challenges like integration complexities must be tackled for these systems to deliver on their promise in manufacturing. H&P reports


Advanced diagnostics in electro-pneumatic systems

27 June, 2024

Manufacturers are continually seeking methods to optimise processes and minimise equipment failure risks. An emerging area is the integration of advanced diagnostics into electro-pneumatic systems, enhancing efficiency and reliability. H&P reports


Customised torque sensors

01 May, 2024

Inelta Sensorsysteme says it offers a wide range of services, including the development and production of torque sensors with different calibrated nominal torques.


The synergy of hydraulics and integrated systems in the food industry

30 April, 2024

Consumer demands and technological advancements in the food industry are continually reshaping the playing field and the imperatives of efficiency, precision, and safety have become non-negotiable. H&P discusses further


Precision sensor for demanding micron measurements

25 April, 2024

Developed for ultra-high precision in the micron range, SICK says its innovative and compact OD7000 displacement sensor reliably measures tiny distances in challenging applications cost-effectively. Comprising a separate controller and sensor head that are both extremely compact, the OD7000 is purpose-built to fit into the tightest machine spaces.


Industry-scale production of cultivated meat and the importance of valve contr

04 April, 2024

Kieran Bennett, Industry Account Manager for Food & Beverage applications at Bürkert, discusses the importance of bioreactor controls for scaling-up cultivated meat production


New ring force sensors with galvanically isolated input

13 March, 2024

Inelta Sensorsysteme has announced it has added new model variants to its portfolio of ring force sensors. The sensor type, which acts as a measuring washer, is used to detect axially acting forces on screws, shafts or axles and is used, for example, to determine or monitor preload forces on screw connections.


Electrification for yard loaders and telehandlers from a single source

12 March, 2024

Electrically driven yard loaders and telehandlers have already been working successfully in agriculture and at transhipments points for some time. The drive concepts are constantly being optimised and new components are coming onto the market. HAWE’s electrification experts advise on concept development and component selection.
