Telemetry system determines vibration behavior of large fans

Two large fans from Germany ensure ventilation of the Russian nickel and copper ore Severny Gluboky. To optimize the speed control of fans traveled the engineers for commissioning in the remote region of Murmansk, north of the Arctic Circle. With the help of a new radio-telemetry system they were able to determine the natural vibration behavior of the motor shaft in a short time.

The company projected Howden fans and developed large fans for mines, tunnel, wind tunnels, and power plants. The products range from simple fixed pitch axial fans to sophisticated Axial fans with adjustable blade angle. Since the 50s, the Swabian company also deals with ventilation systems in mines. The global orientation makes this service calls for commissioning and maintenance of the enormous facilities around the globe required.

Expansion of a copper mine
Everything from one source

All WEG products are installed by experienced technicians on site ...
The Zest WEG Group has successfully implemented at Lubambe Copper major contract within the mining consortium "Konkola North" in Zambia. For the expansion of infrastructure and equipment of wet copper mine, the group supplied the electrical equipment and all measuring systems worth more than 200 million rand (about 17 million euros).

In mining machinery and equipment must meet the highest requirements. The external conditions, often remote location of development areas and the extreme performance requirements require motors and drives of the highest quality and reliability. The high energy required for mining applications means that already have small savings on a machine large impact on the overall energy balance. Potentiate this effect can be when, as in the case of "Konkola North," a broad-based manufacturers such as PATH provides a total package of perfectly matched and tuned to the needs of the customer equipment.

Eastern European automation market

EU standards are the growth drivers in the Eastern European market
for automation and control solutions

Once, the Western European market for automation and control
solutions (ACS) reached maturity, opening up significant new
opportunities for growth in Eastern Europe, the consultancy predicts
Frost & Sullivan. Provides an important impetus for the European Union
to support the new Member States with targeted investments in the
implementation of EU-wide standards.

For the Eastern European market for automation and control solutions,
Frost & Sullivan expects sales growth of 597.8 million U.S. dollars in
2008 to 844.9 million U.S. dollars in 2015

The consulting firm Frost & Sullivan expects the Eastern European
market for automation and control solutions sales increased by 597.8
million U.S. dollars in 2008 to 844.9 million U.S. dollars in 2015.
The results of this study are in Automation and Control Solutions
Market in Eastern Europe (M427) Study Automation and Control Solutions
Market in Eastern Europe (M427) activities. The study covers the
following user industries: power generation, chemical, oil and gas,
food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, water and
wastewater, and metals and mining, cement, glass and textiles.

"The development of their existing automation and control solutions
for the user industries highest priority," said Katarzyna Owczarczyk
Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "When they offer targeted the
ACS provider designed to meet the requirements of the EU and other
standards bodies that apply the latest since the EU accession for the
region."

In concrete terms, for example, to regulations of the European Agency
for Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or by the
REACH regulation the EU (Regulation on Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction Chemicals). Incentives to implement an
adequate production structure provide the EU and other authorities in
the form of regional projects in various Sektoren.Anzeige

Ensure compatibility with existing systems

The biggest challenge in the Eastern European ACS market is called
Frost & Sullivan, the compatibility of the new solutions with existing
systems. In the former communist countries have the technology
virtually obsolete in all factories. "Customer demand is focused on
upgrading their old ACS solutions," said Owczarczyk. "The main reason
for the delayed introduction is the skepticism about the
compatibility. Anyone can win at this point the confidence of end
users, has gained a lot. "

Compatible solutions with open architecture are also very interesting
for the user industries, because they allow the use of a range of
different manufacturers and so individual needs can be covered
completely. "Can also be reduced through the standardization of time
and cost of service and employee training - again, as a significant
selling point," says Owczarczyk.

Exchange takes potash and salt more important than travel

Conversion of Dax:
The growing importance of mineral commodities is reflected also in the
future against Dax: The mining company K + S is included in the main
German stock market index - in favor of a long-time member.
The most important German stock market index, the Dax gets a new
member: The tourism and shipping group Tui must vacate his seat for
the fertilizer producer K + S, which is so far out in the M-Dax. That
the German stock exchange said on late Wednesday evening in Frankfurt.
Tui changes in the M-Dax. The change is to 22 Effective September.

Dax in the values ​​of the 30 largest listed German companies are
combined. These relate to the turnover of shares on the stock market
and the market capitalization of tradable items. The German stock
exchange AG analyzed the composition of the index at regular
intervals. Loses a share on a different meaning and gains outside of
the index to clear such undertakings shall be replaced.

The Tui's shares fell on Thursday to the end of the Dax-list in the
morning and lost nearly three percent. In addition to the descent from
the Dax was also a press article here, that the planned merger of
Deutsch Wings, Condor and TUIfly - that of low-cost subsidiaries of
Lufthansa, TUI and Thomas Cook - stands on the brink.

The expulsion from the Dax surprised traders and analysts, however.
The Tui's share had declined in recent months, while the value of the
potash producer K + S has multiplied due to the commodity boom in a
few years. K + S Kali und Salz AG, the former will be the first
commodity value in the Dax.

When there is joy over the Kassel-based company included in the DAX.
This is "honor and a challenge," said K + S CEO Norbert Steiner on
Thursday in Kassel. Goal of his company's staying, "long-term
sustainable growth," said Steiner. "The DAX has encouraged us to
continue to rise."

Was considered a possible further relegation in the Dax Hypo Real
Estate (HRE). The real estate financing secured his place but then it
just yet. Most promising candidate as a replacement was the steel
company Salzgitter, which thus missed promotion to the first stock
exchange league. In the M-Dax falls out and makes the Deutz Bauer
Construction Group place. Tec-Dax added SMA Solar and the solar and
LCD equipment manufacturer Manz Automation, which displace it Ersol
and BB Medtech.

Special cables for mobile automation

Increasingly complex power and control cables combine a high
performance electronics and control technology in excavators, cranes,
trucks, specialty and heavy machinery and other mobile machinery for
agriculture and forestry, tunnel, road or mining, airport construction
and the fire department. This requires robust high-tech cables that
work well in the harsh daily business safe and durable. The German
specialty cable manufacturer Ernst & Engbring (E & E) develops and
manufactures customer-specific solutions that meet all control-related
tasks and are designed to be extremely resilient. To minimize
installation time and increase security in mobile machines are
increasingly ready assembled, plug and play 'cable systems used.

The demanding requirements for cables for mobile equipment copes E & E
in accordance with its motto "innovation by tradition" with ease.
Typical requirements may be as high shock and vibration resistance and
the associated train, bending or torsional strength, thermal shock
resistance and protection against aggressive media environment. This
must be the cable used are reliable and accurate, rugged and durable.
Intelligent cabling solutions from E & E contribute significantly to
the performance of mobile machines. Here, the cable assemblies to be
as varied as the machines themselves Electronics: High-strength low
friction coefficient with Cable combinations leave room for supporting
elements, strain reliefs and wall thicknesses required mantle.
Abrasion-resistant and weather-resistant sheathing as TPE compounds
provide long service life of cables. Optimized for outdoor use
polyurethane mixtures ensure that cables have jackets, even after
several years of continuous operation under extreme environmental
conditions, almost 100 percent of its original properties such as
elasticity and tensile strength.

An absolute specialty cable manufacturer E & E are spiral lines, which
are used with the progressive complexity of the electronics more and
more in the field of mobile automation. Basically, spiral or helical
lines are for a comfortable and safe handling. You can minimize
tripping hazards, among other things, or torsion balance. Improved
recovery characteristics with high long term stability to ensure that
the spirals remain even under maximum load in the form.
