Why high voltage doesn’t need to mean high complexity

13 August 2026

English (United States)

In industrial facilities where 400–480V three-phase power is standard, machine builders are often faced with a different kind of challenge. It is not a question of whether to use high voltage but how to design motion systems that work effectively within that environment without introducing unnecessary complexity.

High Voltage heißt nicht automatisch Komplexität

13 August 2026

German

In Industrieanlagen mit einer Standard-Drehstromversorgung von 400–480 V stehen Maschinenbauer oft vor einer besonderen Herausforderung: Wie lässt sich die Antriebstechnik für die höhere Spannung richtig auslegen, ohne unnötig komplex zu werden? Die verbreitete Annahme, dass Hochspannungsumgebungen zwangsläufig technisch anspruchsvollere und komplexere Antriebssysteme erfordern, ist nicht ganz korrekt. Zwar stellen größere Maschinen und ein höherer Durchsatz zweifellos höhere Anforderungen an bestimmte Systemteile.

Perché alta tensione non significa necessariamente alta complessità

13 August 2026

Italian

Negli impianti industriali che utilizzano un’alimentazione trifase a 400–480 V come standard, i costruttori di macchine devono spesso affrontare sfide di altro tipo. Non si tratta di decidere se utilizzare l’alta tensione, ma di progettare sistemi di motion che funzionino efficacemente in tali ambienti, senza introdurre inutili complessità.

Functional safety in modern factory automation

28 July 2026

English (United States)

In many automation set-ups, safety still operates on a simple on/off binary – the machine is either running, or it isn’t. This means when human operators need access to the space around the machine, power is completely cut and all motion comes to a halt until they leave again and the system is reset.

Funktionale Sicherheit in der modernen Fabrikautomation

28 July 2026

German

Starre Sicherheitskonzepte bremsen in der Automatisierung oft die Produktivität. Oft gilt noch immer das Alles-oder-Nichts-Prinzip: Betritt eine Person den Arbeitsbereich, wird die komplette Anlage abgeschaltet. Das kostet wertvolle Zeit und unterbricht den Produktionsfluss bis zum vollständigen Neustart.

Choosing the right level of protection in modern automation

2 July 2026

English (United States)

When designing machines, ingress protection is often treated as a simple hierarchy. Higher numbers seem to mean better protection, and better protection seems to mean better engineering. In practice, however, the issue is rarely that straightforward.

Hazardous Locations in Modern Factory Automation: Why Proportionate Specification Matters

7 May 2026

English (United States)

It wasn’t too long ago that hazardous zones and production zones were reasonably well separated. The areas where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts were present tended to stay in their own very specific environments, and the equipment operating in those areas was specified accordingly. Today, however, that distinction is less clear.

Gefährliche Bereiche in der modernen Fabrikautomation: Warum eine zonengerechte Auslegung entscheidend ist

7 May 2026

German

Bis vor wenigen Jahren waren Gefahrenbereiche und Produktionsbereiche weitgehend klar voneinander getrennt. Bereiche mit explosiven Gasen, Dämpfen oder brennbaren Stäuben lagen typischerweise in klar definierten Umgebungen – und die dort eingesetzte Ausrüstung wurde entsprechend ausgelegt. Heute ist diese Trennlinie deutlich unschärfer geworden.

Zone classificate nell'automazione industriale moderna: perché una specifica proporzionata è la scelta corretta

7 May 2026

Italian

Non molto tempo fa, le zone classificate e le zone di produzione erano ragionevolmente ben separate. Le aree in cui erano presenti gas esplosivi, vapori o polveri infiammabili tendevano a restare confinate nei propri ambienti specifici, e le apparecchiature destinate a operarvi venivano progettate di conseguenza. Oggi, tuttavia, questa distinzione è molto meno netta.
