Skiving Heatsinks – Redefining Efficient Heat Dissipation: High-Performance Aluminum & Copper Heatsinks for Your Thermal Challenges When maximum cooling performance meets precision – skiving heatsinks are the best solution for powerful heat dissipation in the smallest possible space. This advanced technology for passive heat dissipation in demanding applications offers you high-precision, custom-manufactured skiving heatsinks. Skiving heat sinks impress with excellent thermal properties, high surface quality, and maximum customization – ideal for use in electronics, power electronics, LED technology, and industrial control systems. What is a Skiving Heatsink? In the skiving process, a fin structure is cut from a solid block of metal – usually aluminum or copper – by means of a precision machining process (skiving). The fins remain firmly attached to the base plate, ensuring outstanding heat transfer – completely free of air gaps as found in pressed-fin heatsinks, and without adhesives or solder joints. Skiving heatsinks can achieve fin ratios that are not possible with the extrusion process.

Due to its modern design, the SL5000 clearly stands out from previous control housings and is convincing nevertheless due to its high flexibility and modularity. Four different profiles in combination allow a wide variety of applications and profile depths - optionally as a front or rear door version. The contour of the profiles offer a very high rigidity, whereby different dimensions in height and width can be realized, also in combination with an additional desk housing. The front can be designed as a classic front panel as well as a full-surface glass front or as a combination with dividers. The high degree of protection, individual colouring and mechanical processing round off the SL5000.

SLIO is a modular and extremely compact control and I/O system. It can be combined and used with any of our established systems and many systems from other manufacturers. The completely redesigned SLIO system sets another benchmark in the automation industry, by combining high performance and the latest functions with a clever mechanical concept in an extremely compact design. It also offers innovations in control and visualization, for example new, extended modules for the established SLIO IO series.

Digitization is increasingly shaping workflows and infrastructure in production halls and large handling centers. The Internet of Things (IoT), which allows machines to communicate autonomously and be operated remotely, opens up new possibilities. In modern production, steadily growing amounts of data are generated for control and diagnostics. While this data is often sent via conductor lines with low transmission rates for simple transport tasks of mobile applications, this communication method is no longer possible today for more complex applications due to the necessary data rates. To make this possible, large volumes of data must be transmitted quickly and without interference. This applies even in free-radio environments where complex planning is required to make the most of limited free-radio frequencies. The SMGM (Slotted Microwave Guide Mini) data communication system, which was specially developed for these applications and environments, enables the integration of absolutely interference-free data transmission. It is also specially designed to meet the increasing requirements of Industry 4.0. Communication takes place in a shielded aluminum profile, the so-called slotted microwave guide, so that no interference or any influence on other communication systems in the environment need to be taken into account. The plug and play solution can be easily integrated into all common EMS profiles and systems without extensive configurations and due to its compact design. By combining it with the modules for energy supply (vPOWER), positioning (vPOS) and drive control (vDRIVE), it is available as a system solution. Also available is the SMG Service Tool, which allows users to analyze and, if necessary, adapt the system.

Smart cameras and vision sensors solve a wide range of industrial image processing tasks and combine image recording, image evaluation and interfaces in one housing. The highly modular hardware platforms in combination with high-performance uniVision machine vision software enable tailored adjustment for all machine vision applications. Variants with auto-focus or C mount are available. As a complete image processing system in sensor format, smart cameras and vision sensors allow for easy setup of an image processing application. With intuitive operation and maximum functionality, a wide range of industrial image processing tasks can be carried out without the complexity of assembling and setting up a PC-based vision system.

Products of the Smart City series transform lighting or traffic light poles according to (DIN 49778 and DIN EN 40-5) into networked infrastructure elements. The connection technology can be easily installed and maintained and is completely protected against vandalism. IP-devices such as cameras, sensors or access points can be attached to a pole equipped in this way, connected at gigabit speed via fibre optic cables and powered with an output power of up to 60 W. The Smart City products are modular in design and can be variably equipped. This is ideal for individual, site-specific equipping of the masts and makes later expansion and retrofitting effortless. The customization options range from the design of the housing and the protection class to the number of ports and the type of optical connection technology to industry-specific approvals. The ultra-compact connection box pe-light integrates passive or active data transmission (unmanaged/managed)) and power connection into the fibre optic network in the light pole and thus forms the smart node for the future Internet-of-Things on the company premises or in the Urban Infrastructure and the Smart City.

Predictive Maintenance powered by VAHLE Unplanned system failures often have unpleasant consequences. If the automated conveyor systems in modern production lines come to a standstill, nothing works anymore. The result is often a loss of sales, which can skyrocket to unimaginable heights if troubleshooting is time-consuming and tedious. To solve this problem, VAHLE has developed the Smart Collector. The world's first intelligent current collector uses special sensor technology to record its linear and rotary movements and passes this data on to the Main Unit, where it is evaluated using the Intelligent Dynamic Anomaly Analysis (IDAA) method. In this way, the entire conductor rail system is monitored during operation. For this purpose, the current collector arms of the Smart Collector are equipped with neodymium magnets. By measuring their magnetic fields without contact, the sensors register even the smallest changes in the flow of movement caused by wear of the conductor system. This allows anomalies to be detected at an early stage, maintenance cycles to be optimally scheduled and thus the availability and productivity of the entire plant to be significantly increased. The Smart Collector was specially developed for electric monorail systems (EMS) and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), but can also be used in other types of plant. To this end, the smart system is compatible with various VAHLE conductor systems as well as data transmission and positioning solutions.
