From the Farm to Your Table: How Optics Are Transforming Agrifood Industry
Agriculture is one of the pillars of our economy, providing jobs, revenue, raw materials and essential food products. However, the agricultural sector is facing many challenges, including the impact of climate change, the shortage of skilled labour and the need to produce more efficiently and sustainably. To tackle the problem, the agricultural world is undergoing a transformation thanks to new technologies and innovations based on optical technologies. In this 20-page e-book, we present how optical technologies are changing agrifood industry and the applications it now makes possible from the farm to your table.
igus® - Free heavy-duty plastic bearings sample box
The iglide® heavy-duty sample box provides a selection of five unique iglide bearings, each suitable for use in heavy-duty equipment due to their self-lubricating, dirt-resistant properties. Each bearing material boasts unique benefits and is best suited for different application conditions, though each can withstand surface pressures of at least 11,603 psi at 68°F.
XLamp® XP-L Photo Red LEDs - Top Tier Efficiency for Next-Gen Luminaires
XLamp® XP-L Photo Red LEDs deliver a higher class of efficiency for horticulture luminaires. At 83.5% typical WPE at 700 mA, 25°C, the XP-L Photo Red LEDs offer 6% greater efficiency than XLamp XP-G3 Photo Red LEDs. Featuring S Line technology, XP-L Photo Red LEDs offer the best system reliability through switching and dimming cycles with excellent corrosion resistance.
NORD Drivesystems - Screw Conveyor Package
The Screw Conveyor Package (SCP) from NORD is a compact, cost-effective solution with directly coupled gear motor or NEMA C-face input, eliminating the need for top motor mounts, pulleys, belts, and guards.
Elmo Motion Control - The Platinum Line, a new era in servo control
Significantly enhanced servo performance, higher EtherCAT networking precision, richer servo operation capabilities, more feedback options, and certified smart Functional Safety. Elmo's industry-leading Platinum line of servo drives provides faster and more enhanced servo performance with wider bandwidth, higher resolutions, and advanced control for better results. Platinum drives offer precise EtherCAT networking, faster cycling, high synchronization, negligible jitters, and near-zero latency. They are fully synchronized to the servo loops and feature-rich feedback support, up to three feedbacks simultaneously (with two absolute encoders working simultaneously). The Platinum Line includes one of the world's smallest Functional Safety, and FSoE-certified servo drives with unique SIL capabilities.
