For decades, visions of the future have featured robots as household assistants. However, despite years of development in robotics technology, the dream of home robots remains unrealized, except for some basic tasks such as floor vacuuming. Toyota Research Institute stated that it has developed a soft silicone gripper toward this goal. Toyota Research Institute TRI said that robotic assistance can not only help clean houses and offices but also assist the elderly, people with disabilities, or those facing age-related challenges, enabling them to live more independently, with dignity and happiness.
Siemens uses eight configurable robot cells and seven AGV to automate the production of marine batteries. As part of visionary environmental legislation, the Norwegian Parliament proposed in 2018 to ban harmful emissions from ferries and cruise ships operating in its fjords by 2026. This includes carbon dioxide and NOx gases, as well as water pollution.
In recent months, the number of goudsmit magnets ordered by active customers in the sugar industry has increased. I asked my colleague Arthur Jonkman (Arthur Jonkman) about the reasons behind this. Arthur explained: "Until a few years ago, the European sugar market was protected. The EU artificially kept sugar prices high through import duties and production quotas. The market has recently been liberalized, and export restrictions have been lifted."
The winners of the 2020 German iF Design Award have been announced. Participants from 56 countries submitted entries. There were a total of 69 award-winning works in the lighting category out of 7298 total entries, including two Gold Award winners. Chinese winning designs totaled 26. The work light designed and manufactured by Germany's Thorsman topped the list for being easy to transport, carry, and store, while offering clever features.
The collaboration between Goudsmit Magnetics, based in Waalre, Netherlands, and the German company Sortatec has produced a mobile metal separator that separates ferrous and non-ferrous metals from bulk material flows. The magnetic separator is easy to position correctly and is designed for coarse crushed material streams (such as shredded wood). Ferrous parts (such as nails, screws, staples, and hinges) as well as non-ferrous parts (such as door handles and strips) must be removed from the waste.
A large energy company in Australia required reliable, replaceable low-speed backstops (LSB) for use on six inclined conveyors transporting coal from the mine to an adjacent power station. The existing LSB units were removed every two years for inspection and often required replacement due to premature failure. With approximately 20 LSB units on site, the costs and downtime associated with frequent replacements (including labor, the need for large cranes, and new support frames) began to increase significantly. After consulting multiple clutch OEM manufacturers, the customer finally decided
German coupling manufacturer R+W is bringing a revolutionary data measurement unit to the market in the form of a smart coupling, allowing users to view relevant data from their machines at any time. High-precision measurement data is recorded directly from the drive train and transmitted wirelessly in near real-time to a user-friendly application. This coupling can reduce production times, lower production costs, and improve product quality.
Scientists have recently designed a new type of electronic artificial skin sensor that responds to pain similarly to real skin. This latest breakthrough can pave the way for smart robots, better restorative technologies, and non-invasive alternatives to skin grafts.
Goudsmit automatic cleaning, easy-to-clean airflow separators can remove metal particles and weakly magnetic stainless steel particles from powders as fine as 30 µm in the food, chemical, ceramic, and plastic industries. The easy-to-clean flow magnets are suitable for large product flows and have an extremely high flux density of over 12,000 Gauss on the contact surface of the rods, making them stand out.
On 2020-8-24, due to the significant economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic in Germany, the German Schnorr washer company located in Stuttgart, Germany, will be closed from 2020-8-28 to Monday, 2020-9-28. Any changes will be announced separately. The German Schnorr washer company requests customers to take this into account when inquiring about orders and deliveries. In addition, the German Schnorr washer company asks suppliers to consider that goods cannot be received during these days. The German Schnorr washer company thanks every customer.
