Hydrogen car drives for efficiency world record

30/09/2020

By using a British torque sensor, a team of Dutch engineers competing to develop the world's most efficient hydrogen-fuelled car has determined that their next vehicle needs a custom designed and built hub motor.

How autonomous machine vision can help ward off the looming recession

30/09/2020

The Great Depression that hit the US in the 1930s was probably the worst economic recession ever registered. To guide the country out of it, President Roosevelt launched a series of programmes, public work projects and financial reforms known as the New Deal.

Smart sensors in the food industry

The food industry often presents challenging environments for components and, in particular, for the sensors used in process control applications.

Robotics and Vision: Liberated and demystified

24/09/2020

Robotics and Vision – as the song goes, you can’t have one without the other. Advances in both technologies have surged to make many new processes ripe for automation. Yet, even the more experienced engineers sometimes can still be nervous about the prospect of integrating a robot vision system.

Choosing angle sensors for power steering, motors and robotics

01/09/2020

As factories and vehicles become more automated, accurate and low-latency sensing of motor shaft speed and position is critical for process control, system reliability, and safety. To address these needs, designers require angular rotation sensors that are fast and precise, with the flexibility to address magnetic field variations and axial misalignment.
