Siemens announced today the official launch
and general availability of the
Siemens Additive Manufacturing (AM) Network, following pilots and successful implementations
with customers and partners, including Decathlon, Siemens Gas & Power,
Siemens Mobility, HP and Materialise. The Siemens AM Network provides an
advanced cloud-based solution to foster collaboration and process orchestration
between engineers, procurement and suppliers of 3D printed parts. Providing an
end-to-end digital process that connects the demand for parts with a supplier
network helps enable globally distributed manufacturing. The Siemens Additive Manufacturing
Network will be featured at
Formnext 2019
in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Simatic S7-1500 controller with expanded motion control functionality and Sinamics S120 drive control in one device – thus saving space
- Powerful for high-end applications, with integrated safety functionality for the controller and drive
- Extensive communication interfaces, technology I/Os, as well as cross-PLC synchronous operation for an easy implementation of modular machine concepts
- Proven engineering in the TIA Portal
Siemens is expanding its product portfolio of technology CPUs with the Simatic Drive Controller. The new controller combines a Simatic S7-1500 controller with motion control, technology and safety functionality with a Sinamics S120 drive control in one device, thus saving space. This makes it easy to implement requirements for powerful, compact and flexible automation solutions. The high performance of the new controller is particularly beneficial for applications with many axes where a multi-axis drive system is used – for example in packaging, printing and textile machines.
Siemens Digital Industries Software today
announced Additive Manufacturing (AM) Path Optimizer, a beta technology
integrated in NX™ software, to help customers solve overheating challenges and
help reduce scrap and increase production yield to achieve the industrialization
of AM, or the use of AM at the industrial scale. Siemens has developed this
next generation advanced simulation technology to help maximize the production
yield and quality of powder bed fusion manufactured parts. This latest
extension of Siemens’ end-to-end additive manufacturing solution feeds the
digital thread, informing each step of the industrialized additive
manufacturing process.
- Railsystems RP GmbH orders two locomotives from Siemens Mobility
- Sustainable concept: a combined diesel and electric locomotive
- Delivery at the end of 2020
Railsystems RP GmbH has ordered two Vectron Dual Mode locomotives from Siemens Mobility, marking the first order for the new locomotive that can be operated either as a diesel or electric unit. Siemens Mobility first presented the concept at the InnoTrans 2018.
- VAG Nürnberg orders 12 Avenio trams
- Option for up to 75 additional trams
- Innovative interior concept for enhanced passenger comfort
VAG
Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg has ordered 12 four-section Avenio trams.
The contract includes options for a total of up to 75 additional trams. The
trams will serve on possible new lines or be used to expand VAG’s existing offering.
Commissioning is planned for the end of 2022.
- Acquisition
to expand ability to create a comprehensive digital twin with addition of
material modeling
- Siemens
to integrate MultiMechanics’ TRUE Multiscale simulation technology with
Simcenter 3D software to accelerate innovation and adoption of advanced
materials
Siemens
announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire MultiMechanics, Inc.,
developer of MultiMech finite element software that helps companies virtually
predict failure in advanced materials at an unprecedented level of speed and
accuracy. The company plans to integrate MultiMechanics into Siemens Digital
Industries Software, which will add the ability for customers to create a
digital twin of materials by closely integrating materials
engineering with part design, performance engineering, and manufacturing through
the unique TRUE Multiscale™ technology for a broad range of material-driven
applications. MultiMechanics’ technology helps companies to efficiently predict material
properties and behavior, including failure starting at the microstructural
level, at an unprecedented level of speed and accuracy. This unique technology
will be incorporated into Simcenter™ software within Siemens’
Xcelerator portfolio, implementing materials engineering into the digital
workflow and establishing a pervasive link between material developers,
manufacturing process developers and part designers.
- Third Mireo order from DB Regio
- Service in the Karlsruhe 7b network
- Passenger comfort and sustainably increased value over entire lifecycle
DB Regio, the regional transport business of Deutsche Bahn AG, has
ordered seven Mireo trains from Siemens Mobility. The trains will operate on
the regional express route between Karlsruhe and Heidelberg/Mannheim via
Bruchsal in the Karlsruhe 7b network. They will be built at the Siemens
Mobility plant in Krefeld, Germany, and their delivery is planned for the end
of 2022.
- Sinamics Startdrive V16 brings a single-axis version of Sinamics S120 to the TIA Portal.
- Innovative functions simplify safety approval, reduce commissioning times and increase user-friendliness.
Sinamics Startdrive commissioning software is the perfect tool for integrating drive hardware into the TIA Portal engineering framework. With the latest version Sinamics Startdrive V16, Siemens is expanding the hardware portfolio available on the automation platform. Following on from the integration of the Sinamics S120 multi-axis system, the single-axis version of this high-end servo drive system can now also be engineered in the TIA Portal. The drive control of the recently introduced Simatic Drive Controller is now also integrated in the commissioning tool. Drive-CliQ hubs, which increase the number of interfaces in the Sinamics S120 multi-axis group, as well as other add-on components, are now integrated in the TIA Portal, perfectly completing this hardware update.
