MOTION CONTROL: B&R IndustrialAutomation announced its latest generation of compact, DIN rail mountable power
supplies. This extensive new line ranges from 2.1A single-phase to 40A three-phase and can handle an input voltage range of 100-240V ac for single-phase devices to 400-500V ac for three-phase devices.
B&R power supplies are designed to withstand toughindustrial environments for optimal reliability and fuctionality. They feature a buffer module—a power back-up device which supplies standby voltage during brown—outs or load peaks for a defined period of time. B&R power supplies tolerate ambient temperatures ranging from -25 to +70C and feature short-circuit, overload, and continuous open-circuit protection. They have extensive worldwide agency approvals, such as UL 508, CSA, IEC, and EN, to meet the requirements of OEMs with universal applications.
All B&R power supplies feature sophisticated mounting mechanics for user-friendly installation. They are DIN rail mountable
and feature a well-designed cooling concept for multiple mounting orientations. Wiring is virtually done is seconds thanks to the use of cage clamp terminals easily accessible on the front side of the power supplies.
As energy efficiency becomes more and more a concern for makers of electronics devices, researchers are coming up with new ways to harvest energy from sound vibration, footsteps, and even electromagnetic fields in the air.
The government wants to study your brain, and DARPA wants to use similar information to give robots true autonomy beyond any artificial intelligence developed to date. Sound like science fiction? It's not.
By refining topologies and using new fluid technology, Moog's new peak sine drive controller increases available power without increasing controller volume.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
