We are currently living through the 4th Industrial Revolution, known as Industry 4.0, a concept that represents the integration of different technologies and disruptive methods, with the aim of promoting the digitalisation of activities and productive processes, improving and increasing their efficiency and productivity. One of the technologies within this revolution is Artificial Intelligence, which encompasses others such as machine learning, artificial neural networks, computer vision, intelligent robotics, autonomous vehicles, among others. ...

Screw Jacks are devices whose function is to convert circular motion into linear motion. This is a mechanism that can be used to move weights with a minimal applied force, by means of a spindle driving the carried weight. Screw jacks' different application approaches envolve carrying weight by pushing or pulling, lifting or lowering, locking or unlocking, sliding, rolling, tilting and tensioning. Whatever type of screw jack is added, the carrying capacities can be used in applications for small weights from just a few kilograms up to hundreds of tons. ...

A rack is essentially a toothed bar that pairs with a gear wheel. Together, they convert rotational into linear movement, or vice versa. These features make the rack/pinion assembly essential in transmission systems. There are two types of rack/pinion sets, straight-toothed and helical-toothed. ...

The concept of air conditioning involves control over the environmental conditions of an enclosed space. This includes temperature, humidity, air quality and air speed. The entire process of air conditioning, which involves altering and treating the air, incorporates systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration, known by the acronym HVAC-R. All HVAC-R systems originally operate with fixed-speed motors. Variable frequency drives come to customize each system to obtain the best result. ...

The fish sector encompasses all activities from catching, processing, transforming, and selling fish and seafood to meet all consumer needs. All these stages are important and each one plays a key role, therefore the environments where some of them take place are generally humid and susceptible to corrosion and contamination. REIMAN provides stainless steel electric motors designed for the food and beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, among others. Industries that demand a high level of hygiene, safety and frequent washing, just like the fish industry. ...

Electric motors are indispensable in the industry and in our everyday life. Since its discovery that electric motors have evolved to this day, reducing in energy consumption with previous systems. Nowadays, energetic efficiency is a fundamental asset in all industries, due to the goal in reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint, as well as reducing operational costs. IE4 efficiency motors constitute a new generation prepared for this effect. ...

UL Solutions is an internationally renowned certification body. UL certifies products, personnel, facilities, processes and systems based on applied standards and regulations. More and more, our customers reinforce this type of Certification, thus guaranteeing a product with high performance standards. The most requested is Product Certification. Reiman, through its partners and suppliers, integrates UL standards into various products it offers, from brands such as Dirak, Electro Adda, Elesa+Ganter, Hiwin, Invertek Drives, Inxpect, Mellor or Oli. ...

Unimec is marking a significant step in the ongoing pursuit of innovation and sustainability and this step is shared by our partnership. Unimec recently supplied four special-made screw jacks to a Norwegian shipping company with a strong reputation for its commitment to eco-friendly shipping. The project where these screw jacks will be used is one of the world’s first 100% electric ferryboat prototypes. A fact that makes Unimec, as a partner in ecological innovation, also important in the mobile sustainability transition. ...

Renewable energy is helping to reduce a large amount of harmful emissions released into the atmosphere and the world's dependence on fossil fuels. Biogas production through anaerobic maturation has always been an environmentally friendly energy source that helps generate green electricity. ...

At the last edition of EMAF, the International Trade Fair for Machinery, Equipment and Services for Industry, which took place from 1 to 4 December 2021 at the Exponor exhibition park, we had the opportunity to talk to Mechanical Engineer Manuel Oliveira, Technical Support at Reiman. He introduced us to Invertek Drives, a Reiman partner company focussed on the manufacture of frequency inverters for the command and control of electric motors. ...
