ABB: EC Titanium Integrated Motor Drive
The EC Titanium integrated motor drive by ABB promises ‘synchronous reluctance and permanent magnet technologies for a sustainable, wirelessly connected solution that improves customers bottom line.’ According to Global Product Manager, Mark Gmitro, the product was inspired by direct customer feedback requesting an IE5 efficient product, that could function as a drop-in replacement for standard NEMA mounted motors.
As new system efficiency regulations emerged, ABB responded to the demand with the development of the EC Titanium motor, integrated drive, and motor product line.

IDEC: Drive and Controller
The IANG1 Integrated Stepper Controller + Drive product is a ground-breaking approach to PLC-based motion control systems.
Traditional motion controllers are difficult to integrate with PLC-based automation systems. There are so many manufacturers, so many different choices, and each solution contains proprietary features that complicate installation, programming and compatibility. You’re also faced with mechanical challenges because these motion controllers often use non-standard mounting hardware. And their configuration involves learning another software program and/or language foreign to your controls environment.

Mechanical and Plant Engineering With a Slightly Positive Trend
In October of 2020, orders in the mechanical and plant engineering sector matched the previous year's level.
For the first time since January 2020, they were no longer in decline. Overall, orders from abroad were on a par with the previous year, although they fell by 4 percent from the European countries and rose by 2 percent from the non-European countries. In Germany, the machinery and plant manufacturers recorded a small increase in orders of 1 percent. "This results in a pleasing zero in the monthly balance sheet. The low level of orders in the fourth quarter of 2019 did of course have an impact," said VDMA Chief Economist Dr. Ralph Wiechers.
