TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIALS LEISTER’S SOLANO
Kardex Vertical Buffer Module a Mini-load alternative
Church Pharmacy one of the largest pharmacies in the UK were facing problems in keeping up with the number of orders they were able to process. With a manual pick- ing process, they required a lot of space, working areas were tight and staff spent time locating and identifying products. Management considered moving premises to secure more space, working with
UpSTEAM.uk and Kardex Remstar they were able modernise processes enabling them to stay in their current premises and manage continued growth and future-proof the busi- ness. Kardex Remstar’s Vertical Buffer Module (VBM) (ef- fectively a small Miniload in a box) combined accuracy, fast picking, and enhanced security. The VBM delivered the exact product to the picker for a good ergonomic experience. The VBM stores the bulk of their stock in a small footprint, which meant that Church Pharmacy were able to stay in their current premises enabling enough space for 5x more order volume growth.

LEISTER’s SOLANO AT is used for a wide range of applications that include cable shrinking, plastic forming and even flooring. Saving 40% of its energy thanks to its’ eco-mode, the heat gun is made more efficient and durable than ever. Weighing only 750g, the SOLANO AT is also compatible with the MY LEISTER app where operators can document welding parameters for repeat welds or even showcase their work. Safe and robust with the tool’s active cool down function and integrated burn protection, the hot air gun is equipped with temperatures up to 650°c which can easily be adjusted. The pistol grip gun is protected against overheating with a guaranteed long service life, making it a reliable and agile partner to the LEISTER collection.

CLAMP-ON FLOW MEASUREMENT IN COOLING CIRCUITS INDEPENDENT OF MAGNETIC FIELD INFLUENCES
14 m and is based on the stellarator principle, in which only external coils generate the twisted magnetic field used to confine the hydrogen plasma required for nuclear fusion. The required plasma temperatures are generated, among other things, by an ICRH (Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating) system. For this purpose, radio waves in the short-wave range are radiated into the plasma via an antenna, where they are absorbed - similar to a microwave - and thus increase the temperature of the plasma up to 150 million °C. This very high temperature, the particle density and sufficient thermal insulation of the plasma from the environment are the three necessary conditions for a successful laboratory fusion experiment with a stellarator magnetic field.
Fusion energy offers the possibility of carbon-free, unlimited energy and the liberation of humanity from the constraints of our Earth’s limited resources. We are pleased that Katronic’s non-invasive clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement technology is making a small contribution to the operation of an ambitious experimental research facility, the Wendelstein 7-X, a so-called stellarator, in Greifswald, Germany. Together with the Tokamak project ITER in southern France, these long-term projects are intended to build a bridge into the future to the first fusion power plants of tomorrow. Key to the success of the flowmeter application was the Katronic equipment’s immunity to the massive magnetic fields that are key in the containment of the high energy plasma involved in fusion power.
The Wendelstein 7-X facility is ring-shaped with a diameter of about
The installation environment of this ICRH antenna includes eight water-cooled cooling circuits. These are essential technical components to prevent the antenna from overheating during ongoing fusion experiments. The water temperature in the 8 mm inner diameter pipes is 150° C at 26 bar maximum pressure, and the water flow rate of all circuits is 5.4 m³/h. For flow measurement, tests were first carried out with variable area flowmeters. However, the magnetic field influence of the stellarator coil system was too strong, so that this technique did not prove successful. The scientists involved in the Wendelstein experiments at LPP-ERM/KMS, the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and Forschungszentrum Jülich chose Katronic’s non-invasive technology because it is both immune to the strong magnetic fields and also independent of media conductivity, so it was able to measure reliably on the deionized water in the cooling circuits.
