Wieland's Samos® Plan 6 minimises time


W


ieland Electric’s samos® PLAN 6 project planning tool is an extremely user friendly programming software with the option of automatic or manual configuration. samos® PLAN 6 works in conjunction with samosPRO COMPACT programmable safety controller, a compact safety solution that offers all of the benefits associated with much larger and much more complex units. Measuring only 45mm in width, samosPRO COMPACT provides up to 20 safe inputs and 8 safe outputs utilising 4 switchable safe in-/outputs, the system can be extended with additional modules to as many as 116 secure inputs and 56 secure outputs and any number in between. samosPRO COMPACT PLUS version offers enhanced features such as safe monitoring of motors, drives and shafts. Thanks to the multi-screen feature, you can see many pages at once or work with many displays, dock, undock or attach working windows in samos® PLAN 6 or detach each window from the main window.

system description for a company’s in-house manufacturing and customer documentation for all aspects of the digital twin related to automation. The open design of EPLAN ePULSE underpins future plans to ensure compatibility with a wide range of data formats and to provide interfaces with systems from other providers. “We’re using agile development methods for our cloud


offering whilst simultaneously focusing on our customers’ needs,” says Sebastian Seitz, Chief Executive Officer at EPLAN and Cideon. “EPLAN ePULSE serves as an efficient


Power Transmission Belts from Nitta for Textile Machines N


itta is the first choice of many of the world’s largest yarn equipment manufacturers. As a global manufacturer and supplier of power transmission and conveyor belts, Nitta provides both standardized and custom-made products to meet your specific requirements.


Nitta power transmission belts Our innovative range of power transmission belts meets key design criteria. We use a variety of core materials including polyamide film, aramid, and polyester fabric which are used across our product groups and are covered with a range of our unique rubber compound and fabrics. The special polyamide tension member used in our tangential belts brings exceptional length stability even under the highest load, so the quality of the yarn is not compromised. High friction, yet abrasive resistant rubber covers, allow for a longer belt life combined with fast and consistent spindle speed. Nitta outperforms the competition’s belt on today’s highest speed OE machinery. Recently Nitta has been approved on textile equipment using the PolySprint™ quick joint (no glue) range of belting.


Polysprint™ Belt This innovation requires no adhesives, giving your customers the advantage of simple and fast installation. This glueless, easy and fast finger jointing system is ideal for feeding, folding and packaging, print and textile applications.


Our CFTG™ (Aramid Cord) Series of belting is also a well proven belt in the textile industry. This product will offer


better performance on super-long machines. The combination of the carboxylated rubber cover and the Kevlar cord center prove to work best for the high-speed machines.


Polybelt™ Delivers high speed and high load transmission with impressive durability for a wide range of industries – ideal for demanding applications in the textile, paper processing and printing industries.

invests in new machines to meet demand


D


awson Shanahan, the leading specialist in precision engineering and cold forming, is continuing to expand


its UK production facilities with the installation of two further Citizen machines. The L20-VIII and the new L32-VIII are high precision CNC lathes which are both flexible and versatile enough to meet high production demands. The new machines are part of an on-going programme


of investment and expansion, which underpins Dawson Shanahan’s long-term goal to grow organically by at least 15% year on year. Joint Managing Director, Les Reeves, commented, “Our


customers have always been impressed with the quality of output from our existing Citizen machine and we’ve been equally impressed with its reliability and precision. With these new Citizens and further technology coming through later this year, we are well on the way to meet growing business demand.”

DESIGN SOLUTIONS | APRIL 2019 39


AE expert EPLAN has launched ePULSE, the company’s foundation for a complete network of cloud-based


connection between end customers, machine and plant suppliers, and component manufacturers in industrial production. In this era of digitisation, ePULSE allows our customers to rely 100 per cent on digital data.” “To further develop our ideas for cloud-based


solutions,” he continued, “we have created a new business unit that operates in the style of today’s very effective think tanks. Experiments are carried out here and discussed with customers and partners.” Other EPLAN cloud-based systems include EPLAN


eVIEW, with which engineering projects generated using the EPLAN Platform will be directly accessible in the cloud, the EPLAN Data Portal which offers web-based access to high-quality product catalogues of numerous component manufacturers, and a cloud-based version of EPLAN Cogineer which will make it possible to generate schematics from a template library directly in a browser with just a few mouse clicks.
