    ABB to Invest More Than CA$130 Million in Canadian R&D and Manufacturing

    ABB has announced that it will invest more than CA$130 million to expand the R&D and production capacity of its advanced power protection and grid resilience technologies in Canada. The investment in Montreal, Quebec will combine ABB’s existing Iberville and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu facilities at a new greenfield location. This will enable ABB to meet increasing demand in key growth industries, including utilities, renewables, transportation, and residential and infrastructure projects across Canada. The new 340,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and R&D facility will be more than 33 percent larger than the two locations it replaces and will incorporate advanced production automation and digital technologies. Combining the existing ABB operations at Iberville and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu will bring more than 600 existing employees from manufacturing, R&D, engineering, testing and support functions into one location. As new product lines are added and production increases in the future, further jobs will be created.

  • Reducing Total Cost of Ownership in Pumping Systems

    Wherever pumping systems are present–in environments such as buildings and water / wastewater and oil and gas facilities–energy consumption exerts a major influence on cost. Despite the fact that electrical energy cost represents 40% of the total cost of ownership of pumping systems, many organizations fail to introduce the proper steps to leverage cost reduction through efficiency improvements. To solve this dilemma, the following major barriers need to be recognized and addressed: Lack of proper metrics – Energy efficiency has traditionally not been used in assessing performance.

    Beckhoff: Upscaling a 5-Axis CNC Machine

    It’s not just the watchmaking industry that needs compact and dynamic machine tools like the Micro5 from Chiron – in medical technology and mold making, components need to be machined just as precisely and quickly. The workpieces, however, are much larger. The machine builder has therefore scaled up its concept based on PC-based control from Beckhoff for components with an edge length of up to 120 mm. “Market analyses and discussions have shown that there is indeed a need for a highly dynamic 5-axis CNC machine with a larger milling center than the successful Micro5 series offers for components with an edge length of up to 50 mm,” says Matthias Rapp, Vice President Global Marketing at Chiron Group SE in Tuttlingen. Therefore, Chiron decided to develop the Micro5 XL building on the existing machine
