Alpha Wire has created a portfolio of high-performance cable for applications in
the Wind Power market, including power distribution, control, and monitoring
within the wind turbine. Alpha Wire's Wind Power offering gives
designers a single source for a wide range of cabling for wind turbine
nacelles. The majority of the cables in the portfolio meet UL Wind
Turbine Tray Cable (WTTC) requirements.
Alpha Wire's portfolio for wind power includes:
Xtra-Guard
4 performance cable is designed to withstand the
temperature extremes of the wind turbine environment. Its durable
construction offers three times the low-temperature flexibility of ordinary
PVC and provides resistance to oils, solvents, chemicals and fuels.
Xtra-Guard
Flex Torsion cable withstands continuous flexing,
including multiaxis torsional movements, making it useful for wind vanes and
anemometers that experience random movement. And for actuators, automation
networks, control circuits, sensors, pitch/yaw controls and power supply
circuits.
Flexible
Motor Supply cable has flexibility in an abrasion-
and oil-resistant design for tight spaces in wind turbines for connecting ac
drives, servo drives and variable-frequency drives.
Series
M Flexible Control cables are used for stationary/cable tray
and for light to moderate flexing applications. Cables come in 18 to 8 AWG
with up to 65 conductors.
Series
V VFD cable is designed for the needs of variable-frequency
drives, combating the continuous dielectric stresses, with no degradation
under heavy electrical load or voltage irregularities such as harmonics,
corona discharges and power distortion.
Instrumentation
cables are available in a wide range of configurations for monitoring and
telemetry needs.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

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
