Emerson addresses growing demand for higher airflow in automation
TodayAcross factory automation, packaging, water treatment, and automotive manufacturing, machine builders are facing a familiar challenge: higher airflow demands in increasingly compact machine designs. Moving to a larger valve platform can solve the airflow problem but introduces new complexity - different interfaces, different configurations, and disruption to established machine architectures. Emerson has developed the AVENTICS XV05 High Flow Valve System to address this gap directly.
Looking beyond the spec sheet when choosing motion architecture
TodayWhen machine builders are specifying motion systems, it is easy to get caught up on the numbers. Torque, speed, power density, and price are all clear, measurable factors, and they provide a straightforward way to compare components. But in modern machine design, these figures rarely tell the full story, as the experts at Kollmorgen explain.
Improving reliability and total cost of ownership across the vessel
2 days agoIncreased operating costs, regulatory pressures, and the rapid pace of change are growing challenges for operators in the marine industry, making reliability and whole-life value increasingly important. These challenges are rarely solved by addressing individual components in isolation; instead, a whole-vessel approach can help operators to extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership, as the experts at Regal Rexnord explain.
