MAHLE is making engine components intelligent

Intelligent engine components are not just a valuable tool for engine developers but could in the future be used as “early warning systems” in engines for monitoring operating conditions and ensuring a long service life. Intelligent bearings from MAHLE keep track of operating conditions in real time, providing an accurate view of the temperature in the bearing. The same measurement method forms the basis for an innovative piston monitoring concept, in which measurement data is transmitted wirelessly and the energy consumption of the sensors covered by the motion of the piston via “energy harvesting.”

Replacement of gasoline is just a matter of time

It is an inevitable must for the Dutch government to rapidly start adjusting the system architecture alongside the Dutch motorways. Necessary choices need to be made if the Netherlands wishes to keep benefiting from the fast technological developments in the automotive industry. “The moment that the use of hydrogen technology will become a commodity instead of the regular use of gasoline, is getting closer and closer,” says Guido Gerritsen CEO of APM (Automotive Parts Manufacturing) in Haaksbergen (NL). “We need to look ahead and anticipate.”

New Galvo Scanner for Laser Micromachining and Additive Manufacturing

Aerotech, provider of high-performance motion control and positioning systems introduces the AGV-SPO, a new high-performance Galvo Scanner. It offers a larger field of view than conventional 2D scanners, reduces laser spot distortion, and is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of laser wavelengths thanks to a large variety of mirror surfaces. As a result, the laser scanner is suitable for a wide range of applications, from additive manufacturing to medical devices.
