Fibre optic network rollout has been a prominent part of our landscape over recent years, and the cost of the fibre rollout has been a political minefield. Speed of deployment, cost of right-of-way access, logistics cost and turn-up time all have an impact on the overall cost to build an optical fibre network. This of … Continue reading Ultra-density fibre cable technology for FTTX and access markets →

Summer is fast approaching which means that your business can get involved in demand response programs and be rewarded for how you use power this summer. Demand response has become a hot topic in recent years. Last year the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) launched a joint initiative … Continue reading Get rewarded for how you use power this summer →

Level measurement is a fundamental  process in almost all industries. As production processes become increasingly complex it’s more important than ever to have the appropriate tools and technology to control and monitor your processes accurately and with ease. Working in often harsh, complicated and dangerous environments with increasingly stringent regulatory guidance, engineers are increasingly in … Continue reading Outstanding results with the latest in radar test level measurement technology →

TRI Components are the Australian Representatives for Leadertech, the EMI shielding technology company and presents a range of thermal gap fillers that conform to surface irregularities to fill air gaps and conduct heat from a heat source to another surface in various heat transfer applications. Typically, when there’s space between two mating surfaces either from different … Continue reading Thermal Gap Fillers →

In today’s business world, forward-thinking managers are insisting on telecommunications systems that have increasing capacity, security and reliability, while at the same time, are cheaper to install and operate. Unrealistic? Not at all. To meet these needs, businesses are turning to Passive Optical LANs based on Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology. https://www.aflglobal.com/AU

Oil & Gas platforms are vulnerable to damage as they are continuously subjected to extreme weather, dynamic forces and accumulated fatigue damage. Wireless sensors can be solutions for cost-efficient health monitoring in such remote and inaccessible area, hence offers possibilities to extend the lifetime of the platform as long as the reserve is still producing. … Continue reading Wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring in Oil & Gas platform →

With cyber incidents and reported vulnerabilities on the rise, industrial cybersecurity leaders must deploy proactive industrial endpoint detection and response (EDR) across the entire process control network. Failure to reduce industrial endpoint attack surfaces (e.g. insecure configurations, missing patches, vulnerabilities) increases the risk of malicious changes or unintended misconfigurations. This paper will examine how EDR … Continue reading White Paper: Secure the Industrial Endpoints That Matter Most →

Full-color appearance model of vineyard terrain by 3D Systems, On Demand Manufacturing helps winery visitors understand the different subtleties of wine

Machines are becoming highly systemised, smaller and compact day by day due to the special requirements of end users and customers. These special requirements are becoming a challenge for the machine builders as they need to stay competitive while ensuring a robust performance for their machines. Belden is introducing a new line machine builder choice … Continue reading Belden MachFlex Industrial Cables →

As Enterprises look for increased bandwidth and ways of reducing the overall cost of cabling, the market is quickly adopting Fibre Passive Devices or ‘FPDs’ into their network architecture. FPD’s are generally characterised as passive optical components that split, combine, filter or modify optical signals. These are used to control and/or modify optical signals as … Continue reading Fibre passive devices →

Sensors and measurement devices are commonly used in industrial applications. In particular, non-contact displacement sensors are used to measure the travel range between where an object is and a reference position, and are popular for automation, OEM, research and development, test and inspection, quality assurance, maintenance and service, or process control. They increasingly contribute to … Continue reading Displacement sensor for industrial process automation →

Continued growth in fibre optic communications has resulted in a growing number of applications and deployment environments for optical cables. Fusion splicing is the process by which two optical fibres are joined together to create one continuous optical path. This whitepaper looks at two types of fusion splicing – Core Alignment and Cladding Alignment.

Linear bearings are machine elements that perform a linear movement. In this white paper, two linear guide concepts are compared: sliding on plastics as well as rolling by means of rolling elements made of steel balls. Both linear plain bearings and linear ball bearings take over the guidance and positioning in classic mechanical engineering as … Continue reading When to use plastic linear bearings and linear guides or recirculating ball systems? →
