At the Rockwell Automation Fair in Nashville this week, the two companies announced that they will release reference architectures for wireless industrial Ethernet. According to Steve Ludwig, commercial programs manager for Rockwell’s... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (0) Motion Network Gets Its Own Packaging ProfileMakers of packaging machines will soon have an easier time implementing real-time Ethernet control, especially when they use drives, controls and i/o from different vendors. Here at the Pack Expo Show in Chicago, the SERCOS organization announced that it would develop Pack Profile for SERCOS III, its real-time, Ethernet-based motion control network. According to Peter Lutz,... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (7) Fluid Power Gets 'Em While They're YoungForget about Hooked On Phonics. What today’s students really need is to get Hooked On Hydraulics. At least, that’s the point of a new education initiative from the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Education Foundation . Last week, the two organizations announced they would team up to develop programs that teach fluid power... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (1) Motion Control Market Still GrowingThe general motion control market, while certainly not immune from the ups and downs of the global economy, seems poised to hold its own over the next few years. A new study from the ARC Advisory Group forecasts that the worldwide market for general motion control technology will experience a compounded annual growth rate of roughly 6.7 percent over the next five years, growing from $6.0...

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of
Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
