The military and the aerospace industry go hand in hand — both in their technological advances and their need for decently sized budgets to fund their projects, missions and contracts. Total military spending in 2017 came to $793.7 billion, and 2018’s budget increased the estimated budget level by an additional $52 billion. One possible way to cut military and aerospace spending is to look into the inclusion of COTS parts. What are COTS parts, and how can they save the government money in the long run? What Are COTS Parts? COTS parts, short for commercial off-the-shelf parts, can help to…

According to IHS (an independent research organisation), in 2015, there were about 15.4 billion connected devices which will grow to 30.7 billion in 2020, and 75.4 billion by 2025. Products like industrial sensors, connected manufacturing machines, in-store analysis devices and workspace management applications will fundamentally transform manufacturing into ‘Smart Manufacturing’, driven largely by the fear of falling off on the wrong side of the divide between the ‘haves and have nots’ of digital manufacturing.What are the Challenges Indian manufacturers face?While almost every manufacturer has a vision to have a smart factory using various solutions of IIOT, they say that the…
Eddy current displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon occupy a special position amongst inductive displacement sensors. Insensitive to environmental influences such as temperature, pressure and dirt, they measure displacement, distance and position with high accuracy. The compact eddyNCDT 3001 model now offers even larger measuring ranges, thereby opening up new fields of application.Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon are unique among inductive measuring techniques. They provide reliable measurement results even in harsh, industrial environments at the highest precision and high bandwidth. Measuring via eddy current is based on the extraction of energy from an oscillating circuit. This energy is needed for the induction…
How a submarine dives into the deep sea and re-surfaces is a question of simple physics. And aiding in this function is air compression technology. The vessel floats on the surface when the weight of water it displaces equals its own weight. This displacement of water creates an upward force called buoyancy that opposes the downward acting gravity. Since a submarine can control its buoyancy, it can submerge and re-surface.A submarine controls its buoyancy with the help of its ballast tanks; these tanks are filled with water to increase the overall weight of the submarine, thus allowing it to submerge.…
More automation and greater dynamism – the demands on the mechanics and control technology are increasing on wind turbines just as they are in traditional engineering. At the same time it is absolutely essential for plant builders and operators to meet the specifications of the Machinery Directive. Guidelines published by Germanischer Lloyd WindEnergie GmbH (GL Wind) also categorise protection against excess rotor speed as a safety-related function. Safe speed monitors meet these specifications and combine fulfilment of safety requirements with economical operation. The technical development of wind turbines has progressed rapidly over the last few years. Apart from the basic…
