On its new website at
www.smp.de/en, SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus GmbH & Co KG (SMP)
showcases its wide range of innovative products, high level of engineering expertise, smart vertical range of manufacture, availability and wide-ranging applications of its inductive components. At its headquarters in Germany, SMP develops
and produces chokes, EMC filters, transformers and soft magnetic mouldings. The soft magnetic powder composites used in the passive components are specially developed for each application and manufactured in-house to ensure high availability. The extremely low-loss components are designed for currents of up to 3000 amperes and frequencies of up to 5 gigahertz. They are available in sizes from 19 mm to 300 mm diameter, with weights ranging from 0.05 kg to 130 kg. SMP components are used in applications in the
fields of power electronics, drives, automation, signal processing, medical technology, E-mobility, marine, railway, environmental technology, energy transformation, renewable energies and aerospace.

need to be supplied with energy over long distances, energy bus systems shine. When projects are being designed, whether they are airports, warehouses, or distribution centres, the planning and, more importantly, the acceptability of the electrical systems can be a major challenge for project planners and designers. If the components utilised have the necessary approvals, the effort involved can be considerably reduced. This is exactly what Wieland Electric's podis® 5G6 energy bus system gives, having recently gained UL system approval, adding to its’s existing TUV compliance. This means that exporting companies in particular, benefit from less testing and save time when it comes to getting their electrical systems approved. Wieland Electric now has a fully and coherently
documented installation system, thanks to the UL 2875 certification of the podis® 5G6 power bus systems, make it considerably easier to approve electrical installations on site, both in Europe and North America.

Sandvik launches CRIBWISE SaaS tooling inventory management technology
division within Sandvik Machining and Manufacturing Solutions, is launching CRIBWISE™, a new software as a service platform in the U.K. and Ireland. CRIBWISE is a subscription-based cloud inventory
D
management solution that helps manufacturing businesses take control of their tooling inventory and related processes. The software enables tool, spare part and equipment management, automated purchase and service orders, automated tool dispensing, manufacturer catalogue services and smart reporting. CRIBWISE is modular, customisable and easy to
integrate for all sizes of machine shops. It helps improve productivity and machine life by reducing administrative time, hours spent searching for tools and production and maintenance delays. It also cuts unnecessary expenditure due to over-purchasing and over-stocking. Head of CRIBWISE, Joakim Johansson, says:
“Tooling costs can easily run into tens of thousands of pounds, and much of this can be attributed to outdated and unconsolidated tooling inventories that take up space and cause frustration.”

when they are seamlessly incorporated. As responsive interfaces they serve as control consoles, operating elements or monitoring screens. Displays in this environment not only need to provide precise touch sensitivity and high image quality but also resist the rough environment they are used in. Philips monitors have a portfolio of touch displays that is specifically designed for the manufacturing industry.

The B1TFL series displays come in four sizes from 15.5 to 23.8 inches, with panels that offer brightness values of 350 to 450 nits plus anti-glare coating which can be used comfortably even in well-lit environments. The 10-point projected capacitive touch technology guarantees a reliable user experience, while the 7H scratch hardness of the edge-to-edge glass overlay provides for a long lifetime and easy cleaning. Furthermore, the monitors are IP65 certified and have an 8 mm foam rim on the border and are thus water and dust protected. Installation – whether in landscape, portrait or face-up position – is supported through an innovative L-bracket system as well as a standard VESA mount. The displays feature a variety of connectors, including HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and DVI, and also come with a
built-in USB hub (2x USB-A 3.1) to connect extra hardware and power devices. The OSD can be accessed through the built-in OSD buttons or through a dedicated remote controller, which is part of the package. This comes in handy in the case of fixed installations when the back of the monitor can no longer be reached. The touch monitors comply with several European standards and EMI class-B for additional electromagnetic protection. They are cross-platform compatible with certain versions of Windows, Android and Linux.
