o help fabricators and manufacturers drive continuous improvement in traceability,


documentation, asset management, productivity and quality, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products demonstrated its new ESAB Digital Solutions platform at EuroBLECH which took place in Hannover, Germany. ESAB Digital Solutions, including ESAB WeldCloud and


ESAB CutCloud, connect digital ecosystems for manual/robotic/automated welding and cutting automation, respectively. At Euroblech, ESAB showcased a new architecture, powered by Microsoft Azure IoT and utilising the ThingWorx® Industrial Innovation Platform from PTC. “We collaborated with Microsoft because Azure allows for


a reliable and secure architecture that sends data from a digitally connected-system directly to the cloud,” says Mike Pantaleano, VP Data Driven Advantage/Digital Solutions, ESAB. “Eliminating the need for an on-premise server or large IT infrastructure especially helps job shops and smaller operations gain the benefits of data management.

CAPM347 high speed 24VDC embedded printer for retail,


vending and kiosk applications B


VM, official distributor for Seiko Instruments’ printer mechanisms and portable printers for the UK and


Ireland, has announced the CAPM347, a 24VDC high-speed rugged thermal print and cut unit optimised for use in ticketing and vending machines, receipt printing, lottery terminals, ATMs or other industrial, retail or medical applications. Two versions are available: for Point-of-Sale receipt printers and similar uses, the “Easy Load” version with a removable thermal head that enables simple drop- in roll replacement. The “Auto Load” model has a hinged thermal head assembly for embedded designs such as kiosk and ticketing machines and an optical sensor that automatically initiates replacement paper loading. Both versions offer print speeds of 300mm/s on standard 58, 60, 80 and 83mm wide paper up to 90 micron thickness; the thick paper model prints at 280mm/s on paper up to 150 micron thick.

he expanded functions within Wieland’s samos® PRO COMPACT PLUS module enables comprehensive motion monitoring. Increasingly profound digitalisation and automation allows companies to respond more efficiently, more quickly and more flexibly. The progressively dynamic nature of processes and production sequences, however, also involve tougher requirements for the safety of man and machine. Against this background, Wieland Electric has upgraded its safety controller samos® PRO COMPACT and made it fit for motion monitoring. No matter whether machines, systems, autonomous


vehicles, lifts or wind turbines – wherever movement is involved, there can be no compromise on safety. As processes become increasingly automated, the monitoring of motion continues to gain importance. This can be optimally achieved using safety controllers. The very reason why Wieland now has all functionalities needed for comprehensive rotational speed, rotational direction and position monitoring integrated in its samos® PRO COMPACT.

Intelligent pump control W


anner has introduced intelligent pump control for its Hydra-Cell pumps that it claims will generate


significant savings while improving machined part quality. High pressure coolant pumps are traditionally set to


accommodate the tool in the carousel with the largest coolant flow requirement. When tools with smaller orifices are employed, the unneeded coolant is returned to the supply tank through a bypass valve. This system is wasteful of power, heats up the coolant unnecessarily and reduces the life of the pump itself. Hydra-Cell Intelligent Pump control (patent pending) is an open loop system without pressure gauges and complex electrical feedback loops. It delivers just the right flow of coolant to maintain the required system pressure, regardless of tool size. As well as reducing the power requirement, coolant


chillers can be smaller and consume less energy. Pump stress is reduced, extending the life of the pump and the whole operation is quieter as the pump speed is reduced.
