Fanuc Robots Automate Green Pallet-Handling System Fanuc Robotics has revealed that two of its robots are being used in a Green Solutions system that manufactures pallets made from paper pulp. The manufacturing process is automated from the input stage, where the paper is in a slurry form, right through to the output stage where the finished pallet is ready for use. Central to the process are two Fanuc Robotics robots, which handle the mould and moulded pallet and also control the system process. Green Solutions supplies the complete manufacturing system to businesses requiring either one-way or multi-transport pallet use for their product deliveries. As systems can be supplied anywhere in the world, sourcing a reliable handling solution for the moulding process was important as it forms the core of the process. Samey, an Icelandic automation business, worked with Green Solutions to design the handling system. Thorkell Jonsonn, managing director of Samey, said: 'Robots were the...

Sunon Introduces Latest Super Green Fan Sunon has developed the latest generation of the 40mm x 40mm x 28mm Super Green Fan (SG4028). The design of the Super Green Fan features high efficiency, low power consumption, low vibration and low noise. Dedicated to low energy use, Sunon's sealed-motor technology raises the air flow and increases the air volume by 10 per cent. Compared to other products with similar rotation speeds, the Sunon Super Green Fan consumes nearly 50 per cent less power than its predecessors, meeting the eco demands for high efficiency and low power consumption, according to the company. Its sealed motor is protected by EMC and EMI and meets Class B requirements. With a perfectly matched high-efficiency motor and impeller blades, the Super Green Fan reduces vibration within the system, lowers fan vibration by up to 38 per cent and prolongs the lifespan of both the fan and the entire system. Characteristics include: a three-phase motor for low power consum...
