Schneider Electric is once again co-sponsoring the popular traditional run, and is also entering its own team – the “SE Green Runners”.

• Development of the first chain system in quality class 10 (grade 100) as the starting point • The pink colour still ensures an exceptional position on the market to this day • Temperature-related colour changes act as a reliable heat indicator

Hermann Kolb, Head of the RUD Group’s Lifting and Lashing Equipment Division, talks about the pink RUD product design and its history

• The wide range of options for individual configuration of chain suspensions has already been used extensively • Configured solutions now also available as CAD data records in the STEP format • Use of the configurator will also be possible on a smartphone or tablet in future

The world's first blue 6 kW diode laser - a new blue diode laser with the highest beam quality, new cladding optics and series production-ready process configurations for brake disc and plain bearing cladding - these are the highlights of Laserline's presence at Formnext. The common focus of all the presented solutions is to increase efficiency and thus reduce CO2 emissions in industrial manufacturing processes. Interested visitors can find Laserline in hall 12.0, booth no. C122.

At EuroBLECH 2024, Laserline will be presenting highly efficient solutions for processing sheet metal, copper and aluminum components. Key topics include multi-spot optics for application-optimized beam shaping, blue 4 kW CW diode lasers for copper welding and solutions for laser curing of powder coatings.

At the Laser World of Photonics in Munich, Laserline showcases new LDF and LDM diode laser systems with increased output powers. Furthermore, as a highlight of the exhibition presentation, the first blue diode laser with a cw output power of 1 kW will be presented. Additionally, new processing optics and exhibits from diverse application areas will also be on display.

At the Battery Show 2023 Laserline will present energy-efficient solutions for industrial material processing in the field of electromobility. Key topics include copper welding with blue 3 kW cw diode lasers, brake disc cladding to reduce urban particulate pollution, laser drying processes for economical series manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, and welding applications for sealing battery casings.

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH will present the spectrum of its services in the field of customized cabling solutions for users in the telecommunications, data center and building sector at ANGA COM 2023 (May 23-25 in Cologne). Another highlight of the trade show appearance is the C2E high-density system. Visitors to the trade fair will find Sachsenkabel at the booth of the US parent company Amphenol Corporation in Hall 8, Booth D80.

Aalen, September 2024 – Plugging instead of bolting: with the new CCS-FASTLOX, RUD is expanding its product portfolio to include a clevis shackle with a quick-release fastener that makes the attachment of loads considerably easier and faster. The highly robust shackle can be fitted without bolt, nut and cotter pin, saving up to 80% of assembly and dismantling time compared to conventional boltable shackles.

At Photonics West 2022, CeramOptec will present high-performance optical fibers for industrial, medical and laboratory applications. Emphasized are solutions for surface treatment and long-term UV applications. In addition to individual fibers, optical fiber bundles in various configurations will be introduced as well.

At SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, CA, High Power Diode Laser specialist Laserline, Inc. will be showcasing laser solutions for key industrial applications such as the production of electric copper components, semiconductor processing and the drying of lithium-ion batteries. The technology leader in the field of infrared and blue diode lasers has unique systems such as a blue CW laser with 4 kW output power and a blue 200 W pulse laser in its portfolio.

Up until now, battery electrodes have been dried primarily in gas-operated conveyor furnaces. However, a recently developed approach based on diode lasers is noticeably superior to the convective drying process and for the first time makes it possible to produce laser-dried anodes and cathodes in a roll-to-roll process. A white paper by Laserline and staff from the PEM (Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components) group at RWTH Aachen University highlights the advantages of this diode laser-based electrode drying process and outlines the path to more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly battery production.

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH has launched a modular rack unit with high packing density for structured cabling in 400G and 800G data centers. The 19-inch MRU system is available in 1U installation height, can hold up to 144 fibers, and is suitable for patch and splice applications.
