Turning More Than 30 Years of Technology into Social Value The World's First Compact NMR System, Built on Superconducting and Cryogenic Technologies - www.aisin.com

Researchers at the University of Alberta predict a new quantum sensor could detect magnetic fields as weak as 24 aT/√Hz in just 10 minutes. This sensitivity, achieved with a 10 W ultraviolet laser, has the potential to surpass that of current cryogenic magnetometers, devices that require extremely low temperatures to operate. The analysis reveals that a relative intensity noise of -100 dBc/Hz is important for optimal performance, guiding efforts to either increase laser power or minimize noise. The approach uses a noble gas, eliminating the need for alkali vapors and enabling hours-long spin relaxation at room temperature.

Scott Technology has launched the NexPAL 200HL, a compact, high-capacity palletizer developed to help manufacturers increase production capacity where floorspace is limited. Developed in response to customers, particularly across Europe and North America, seeking to add throughput capacity within existing production environments, the NexPAL 200HL delivers 35-plus cases per minute across a range of product formats and sizes, while occupying a footprint 25% smaller than most comparable palletizing solutions. “In many established manufacturing facilities, floorspace is at a premium and throughput is fundamental to the economics of the operation,” says Aaron Vanwalleghem, president of materials handling and logistics at Scott Technology. “If end-of-line palletizing can't keep pace with increased production upstream, it can become a bottleneck on the entire operation, hindering growth. Our customers are looking for ways to increase capacity with limited impact on their physical footprint. With the NexPAL 200HL, we focused on putting substantial palletizing capacity into a much smaller space without compromising performance.”
