MAG Hessapp presented at a house show in Taunusstein the impressive capabilities of the machine tool in the handling of railway components. One could, together with other technology partners, major companies in the rail industry and welcome the unique range of processing solutions live demonstrations.

Ready for excellence: the engineering of VDM Series MAG Hessapp is the ideal solution when high precision heavy rail wheels are to be processed.

Rachel: "We build the green chemical factory of the future"

In Leuna in Saxony-Anhalt is a modern biorefinery Research arise. The research should encompass all parts of different plants - especially those who are not in the food chain is needed - for the production of chemicals, fuels, electricity and heat use. This will provide new ways to address climate change and resource efficiency opened. "We build the green chemical factory of the future. Thus, we also catalyze the structural chemistry in the eastern triangle of an oil to a bio-based industries. One thing is clear: We must move away from oil," said the Parliamentary State Secretary, Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), Rachel Thomas on Friday. The BMBF wants to build with ten million euros from the economic support package. Due to the regional proximity of partners from industry and science, the excellent conditions in the chemical triangle Halle-Bitterfeld-Leipzig used.

Toyota's production system has been the model for industries worldwide. Now IVF with "SWEP", Swedish Production System - the free guide directly on the web.

Leanresan.se are working name of the manual with the method and job descriptions IVF launches in mid-March.

- Companies that already have some skills in the "lean production" is capable enough to adopt the Japanese method solely with the material we are launching on the web. Others need to supplement with a consultant who learned our methods. But it should suffice with a few hours of consulting, "says Björn Lang Beck on Swerea-IVF.

Introducing "lean production" in English as learning of the Conference Assembly Forum in March.

The temperature difference between body heat and ambient air is sufficient to provide power with the help of a very small voltage converter.German Fraunhofer Institute has developed a tiny voltage converters, which together with a thermo generator can generate 4 mW at 2 ° C temperature difference ..

The 1.5 x 1.5 mm high-voltage converter can generate voltages up to 3.3 volts. The efficiency varies depending on load and input voltage of between 30 and 80 percent. 

The converter is 1.5 mm per side
