INDEX Sunny job for the LSC system Swiss solar power station heats up air to 600 °C 3 STATE OF THE ART The VFLI Locomotive modernisation 4 THE RED CARPET FOR LUTZE CABLE SETS Special connection technology made by LUTZE 5 The energy is in the detail! The debate over alternative energy sources has never been as relevant as it is today. The fact that we need long-term energy sources can be substantiated alone in the rising demand of a growing population. But we can do something in the short term as well. An example for this is car production, which has a very high energy requirement....

Sunny job for the LSC system - Claude Jan du Chene, LUTZE Switzerland Considerable sums of money are being invested for solar power as renewable energy. Photovoltaic collectors i n particular are booming. Airlight Energy recently initiated the prototype of an entirely different solar power station in Switzerland. LUTZE is working for green energy in the electrical part of the plant. The principle of this power station in the Sw iss canton of 'Ticino: ('oncenlralion of incidenl solar rays. These pass through the first thin plastic wall of a concentrator. 'They are then refleeted by a...

The VFLI Locomotives LÜTZE supports the French railway operator VFLI with the modernisation of the locomotive family 63500. In addition to modular control system components and compact interfaces and assembly units, vehicle specific special developments are also being used to bring the vehicle in line with the latest state of the art. - Franck Grünenwald, LÜTZE Germany In 1998, the SNCF subsidiary VFLI was founded to serve regional freight routes and industrial connection lines as a "low cost carrier". Already after 10 years, VFLI was one of six companies to receive the licence to operate...

The red carpet for LÜTZE cable sets - Stéphane Savonnet, LÜTZE France LÜTZE develops special connection technology for SUPERBA continuous-filament yarn-machines SUPERBA manufactures and markets complete solutions for the treatment of continuous filament yarns in Alsace. The highlight is a machine for thermosetting yarns for rugs and carpets. With special cable sets from LÜTZE, cabling times are shortened and connection failures avoided. Thermosetting gives carpets their essential characteristics as regards appearance, mechanical resistance and elasticity. Continuous treatment with...

Perfect Climate in the A LÜTZE has assumed a major role in the basic research of energy cost reduction for the cooling of control cabinets. The automation specialist Friedrich Lütze GmbH & Co. KG has committed itself to energy and cost-efficient air conditioning in automation technology (Project InnoCat 4.2.1) within the Alliance for Innovation "Green Carbody Technologies". The research interest focuses on the reduction of energy expenditure needed for the cooling of control cabinets. The backgrounds to the LSC wiring system and Alliance for Innovation will be presented by LÜTZE and the...

Automotive Industry? tion for the "heat problem" in control cabinets with its LSC-wiring system: The LÜTZE system utilises an additional level in the depths of the control cabinet. The wiring is moved from its traditional position between the switching devices to the rear. This firstly saves space in the control cabinet, and secondly, allows improved air circulation between the appliances. As a result, the heat transfer to the air is greatly improved. In concrete terms: "Heat pockets" are avoided to a large extent. Studies in recent years show, for instance, that heat dissipation with the...

The new LUTZE signal and temperature converters, with a rated voltage of DC 24 V, can be freely set using a Micro-USB port and standard FDT/DTP software for the measuring signal input. Alternatively, the new converters are available with a Micro-USB port and an additional DIP switch. The benefits of the new converters include the very robust and compact design, which on one hand, permits employment in working temperature ranges of -40 °C to +80 °C and, on the other, allows a very compact construction width of just 6.2 mm. The new converters possess spring-loaded or screw connections and can...

Patented efficiency LUTZE INTERNATIONAL LUTZE, Weinstadt, the automation specialist is presenting its new UPS battery management system. Thanks to the patented battery and diagnostics method, the DC 24 V battery management system can achieve a unique charging efficiency of an amazing 98 %. LUTZE can offer two versions of the new UPS battery management system: with and without an AC power input unit. The new LUTZE UPS battery management systems are designed for uninterrupted DC 24 V system voltages, and are thus suitable for all current lead battery types from standard through AGM and gel up...

LÜTZE Reaching fo Sari Gregson, Jon De Vera und Wm. Dave Cook LÜTZE is involved in helping build a global network of robotic telescopes for professional scientific research and research-based education. Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) Network is a private operating foundation headquartered in Goleta, California. LÜTZE has been instrumental in providing suitable components for their tailor designed and manufactured 1m telescope. Two of these 1m telescopes have been built and the plan is to build a total of 20. These telescopes will be deployed to six remote sites spread...

r the Stars rized by the size of the primary mirror: 2m, 1m and 0.4m. LÜTZE has become part of the institution that will provide the technology to make scientific discoveries for years to come, thus being part of the new teaching tools for looking into the stars and learning more about the world around us.
