Having reliable information is crucial for drilling technicians so that they can respond quickly and make corrections when needed. The term Measurement While Drilling (MWD) refers to the use of measurement modules behind a drill head. How does it work? The control system measures angle, vibration, and drilling speed. The pulser unit sends the collected information back to the surface, across thousands of meters, through pulses in the drill mud ( called Mud Pulse Telemetry or MPT). These pulses are generated by an actuator system driven by maxon’s Heavy Duty assembly.
September 5, 2023 Overload relays provide reliable motor overload protection by preventing damage caused by phase failure, high temperatures, or electrical overload. They are usually connected in series to the contactor (or switching device) to protect the motor from problems associated with the motor drawing excess current that could lead to overheating and damage to…
Considered the world’s largest wastewater treatment plant, the Bahr El Bakar facility in Sinai, Egypt, will deliver a world record-breaking capacity of 5.6 million cubic meters of treated water per day – the equivalent volume to fill nearly 2,000 Olympic swimming pools – for agriculture development projects and industrial production.
April 14, 2023 Maximilian Hülsebusch MTBF is the measure for the reliability of a device or system component. In this blog article you will learn what exactly is meant by MTBF, why it is an important quality indicator for power supplies and how it differs from service lifetime. The term MTBF appears in the data…
Innovative machine design is integral to the success of any machine builder. Smart machine design serves innovators with the reward of optimized space on the plant floor, considerable savings on components and installation, inherent safety by design and oh yes, it must meet the functional needs of the ever changing application. One machine will have multiple different speed and load requirements. A sound understanding of the components used in machine design is fundamental, knowledge of current machinery safety standards as well as an understanding in the desired outcome of the machines function.
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
January 17, 2025 In the world of industrial automation and manufacturing, a significant change is on the horizon. The familiar UPC barcode – a staple of product identification for nearly five decades – is evolving into a more sophisticated system. This transformation, known as “Sunrise 2027,” will revolutionize how businesses handle product identification, tracking, and… Read More…
January 15, 2025 Food production is subject to the strictest of requirements. Operations in this highly sensitive hygienic environment must run smoothly to manufacture the large volume and diverse range of products efficiently and sustainably. What does this mean for companies that are active on a market characterized by fierce competition and high consumer expectations?… Read More…
