In today’s world, where communication plays a crucial role in all spheres of society, it is essential to have efficient and reliable solutions for data transmission. In this context, fiber optics has emerged as a revolutionary technology capable of providing superior speed, bandwidth, and security compared to traditional cables. The Fiber Optic Revolution Fiber optic technology is based on transmitting information through pulses of light that travel through ultra-thin glass or plastic fibers. This approach surpasses the limitations of conventional copper cables, enabling significantly faster data transmission speeds and greater bandwidth capacity. Fiber optics are immune to electromagnetic interference, ensuring a stable and reliable connection. POLILAN solutions POLILAN is a leading optical cable and communication network brand that provides innovative technical solutions for various applications. Their new catalog of network infrastructures offers a comprehensive range of products, from high-quality optical cables to specialized connectors and accessories. 1. State-of-the-art Optical Cables […]

What is a frequency converter and what is it required for? The introduction of frequency converters into industrial plants began in the early 1970s. Until then, it was only possible to operate electric motors directly on the grid and thus at defined speeds. If an electric motor, e.g. an asynchronous machine, is operated directly on the grid (50Hz), a fixed speed is set, known as the nominal speed, based on the grid frequency and the pole number of the motor. In the past, where different speeds were required due to the application, mechanical gears were used. Some readers may remember what was known as the “delta changeover”. This was used to limit the power of the motor at the moment it is switched on in the case of directly operated motors. What do variable motor speeds have in common with energy savings? The option of continuously adjusting the motor speed […]
In the last few years, sustainability has become a buzzword that we encounter everywhere. For LAPP, however, sustainability is not a trend, but a duty. In order to further advance the topic, a central position was created in LAPP Holding AG in the spring of 2022. The LAPPConnect editorial team spoke with Global CSR Manager Maria Dobritzsch. Why was this new position created? Maria: Sustainability is firmly anchored in LAPP’s thinking and actions. And currently there is a lot of movement in this area. The legal requirements are becoming more and more extensive and complex, our customers are increasingly demanding information on our sustainability goals, and our banks are also taking our sustainability performance into account when calculating interest rates and carrying out risk assessments. The newly created position centrally manages the topic of sustainability at LAPP. How sustainable is LAPP already today? Maria: Sustainability has been defined as one of the […]

Originally, the North German family-run company Thomas GmbH + Co. Technik + Innovation KG produced bedroom furniture. However, as supplied glass fibre strips do not meet the high requirements, the company manufactures its own pultrusion machines for itself and other companies. The latest and particularly innovative pullCUBE machine incorporates assembled cable chain systems from LAPP – a guarantee of the desired robustness, quality, and durability. Managing Director Boris Thomas demonstrates the pullCUBE pultrusion system In 1981 even Udo Lindenberg sang the song “Sandmännchen” from the “Schlafbehörde” in Bremervörde. This meant Thomas GmbH + Co. Technik + Innovation KG (TTI): The North German family-run company made its international breakthrough in 1956 with the invention of the slatted frame, leading it to prominence in pop culture. The approach to rock music fits in with TTI: “Rebellion against the status quo is part of the family’s blood, and from this comes a drive […]
In the smart factory, machines and systems are increasingly networked. As a result, the topic of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is also becoming increasingly important. Especially in industrial plants where frequency converter-controlled motors are used, undesirable currents can increasingly occur on the equipotential bonding (PA) or protective earth (PE) cables. A new, innovative cable design from LAPP reliably reduces leakage currents and makes a decisive contribution to improved EMC in machines and systems. Stripped ÖLFLEX® SERVO FD zeroCM Nowadays, electric motors in process automation are operated exclusively by means of frequency converters. In addition to the advantage of variable speed, this type of control offers considerable improvements in terms of energy and process efficiency. However, due to the principle of control, undesirable side effects occur and leakage currents are generated. The more components are involved, the greater the risk of such disturbances. At the same time, the installation spaces in machines […]
There are many classics on the programme of the Prague State Opera this winter 2021/22: from Puccini’s Tosca and La Bohème to Verdi’s Rigoletto and the wonderful ballet Romeo and Juliet. The opulent productions on the stage are only possible thanks to new stage technology that has been realised using connection solutions from LAPP. The Prague State Opera is one of the four venues of the Prague National Theatre and counts among the most important opera houses in Europe. The historic building was thoroughly renovated in the 1970s. Now it was time for the stage technology. The extensive retrofitting work began in March 2017. The plans included a unique revolving stage, a modern rehearsal room with excellent acoustics and seats equipped with readers to display sub-titles in various languages. New opportunities with new revolving stage The main focus was on the new revolving stage with unique technical options for the opera house […]
