Hannover Messe powertrans 400

February 25, 2019

Manufacturers of power transmission and fluid power technologies provide components that are absolutely essential to the quality and reliability of industrial plant and machinery. For the first time ever at HANNOVER MESSE, virtually every aspect of the power transmission and fluid power industry will be featured in the northern exhibition halls that are home to the IAMD (Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives) show. The displays there will revolve around smart hydraulic, pneumatic, actuator and drive components for manufacturing – in other words, critical building blocks for efficient, fault-free Industry 4.0 production.

The power transmission and fluid power section of the IAMD show will feature around 1,000 exhibitors and occupy halls 20 through 25. The exhibits on display will illustrate the steady transformation of tried-and-proven mechanical components and systems into intelligent mechatronic components and systems. "Worldwide, HANNOVER MESSE is the only platform where components and systems fundamental to industrial plant, machinery and electrical systems are presented in an integrated fashion alongside digital technologies from software providers and IT companies," explains Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board of Deutsche Messe as the organizers of HANNOVER MESSE.

"HANNOVER MESSE enables providers of power transmission and fluid power systems to network with providers of sensor, electronics and IT solutions, so that together they can better harness the power of digitization in the interests of technological convergence. This is important, because the market is increasingly calling for intelligent mechatronic systems, not must mechanical drive technology."

HANNOVER MESSE is the most important trade fair and dialogue hub for the power transmission and fluid power industry. Exhibitors from this industry benefit enormously from the IAMD show's synergies with other shows taking place under the umbrella of HANNOVER MESSE. They also benefit from dialogue with the high-level business and political leaders who are naturally drawn to HANNOVER MESSE as the world's leading trade fair for industrial technology. This year, a key part of this mix is the participation of a highly industrialized nation as Partner Country : Sweden. Sweden and Germany have a long history of close cooperative ties, a key relationship that was further strengthened at the start of 2017 with the signing of an innovation partnership agreement. Under the agreement, the two countries have pledged to cooperate at political, economic and institutional level. The partnership encompasses several key areas, including mobility, ongoing digital development of industry, joint research activities, Industry 4.0 test projects and the fostering of digitization and automation in small and mid-sized companies.

Sweden's economy is growing steadily. On an international comparison, the country places near the front of the pack on all scores, from business climate to startups, and its strengths in terms of innovation and quality of life make its companies highly desirable trade and investment partners.

Quite apart from the Partner Country showcase, the number of Swedish companies exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE has doubled over recent years. This is due in some measure to the Swedish Energy Agency, which this year, for the second year running, is staging national pavilions in the Integrated Energy and Industrial Supply sections of the show.

DCS Festo Didactic at the Forefront of Developing Canadas Future Workforce 1 400x275

With Canadian manufacturing suffering from a growing labour shortage, the participation of industry in skills development is emerging as a vital component in hiring and retention.

The needs are stark: The Canadian Exporters and Manufacturers Association says almost 40% of its members have jobs they can’t fill. Five years from now, 60% expect to be short-staffed, especially when it comes to skilled trades. Statistics Canada forecasts the country’s labour force growth rate will remain below 0.2% for the rest of the decade, below replacement levels.

This growing shortage is affecting companies of all sizes. Already, some manufacturers acknowledge losing out on contracts because they can’t find the manpower to fulfill them.

In reality, the challenge is two-fold: to replenish and expand the workforce to help close the gap between the number of job seekers and vacancies through 2030 when the last baby boomers reach age 65, and ensure workers get opportunities throughout their careers to upgrade or add to their skillset as current technologies evolve and new ones emerge. Festo, through Festo Didactic, one of the world leading provider of equipment and solutions for technical education, intends to help Canada meet this challenge on both fronts. In essence, the approach Festo has always taken is that the learning never stops.

DCS New Emerson Valves Deliver Proportional Flow Control Performance 1 400x275

Emerson recently introduced the ASCO™ Series 209 proportional flow control valves, which offer the highest standards of precision, pressure ratings, flow characteristics and energy efficiency available in a purpose-built, compact architecture. With this combination of size and performance, Series 209 valves allow users to precisely regulate the flow of fluid in a wide range of devices that require exacting performance, like those found in the medical equipment, food and beverage, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industries. 

Accuracy, response time and repeatability are critical in high-precision flow control applications, such as controlling tool speed in dental chairs, the flow of steam in coffee makers, water flow in cooling systems and hydrogen flow in fuel cells. Series 209 valves have low hysteresis (less than or equal to 5%), excellent repeatability (less than or equal to 1%) and high sensitivity (less than or equal to 0.2%) that contribute to their precision.
