An emergency retrofit project has seen obsolete equipment replaced with WEG IE4 motors after a catastrophic drive system failure at Colne Valley Rubber.

Ishida Europe has helped leading poultry processor KILOM increase speed, reduce manual labour and achieve consistent pack weights at high efficiency levels through the installation of four Fresh Food weighers and three checkweighers.

TPL Vision introduces the TPL-CONTROL-1, a powerful new external illumination controller that expands the flexibility of machine vision lighting. More than just a controller, the TPL-CONTROL-1 forms the foundation of TPL Vision's new External Control (EC) product family, enabling a wide range of proven illumination products to benefit from advanced, configurable lighting control.

Now available with full support from Mclennan, Applied Motion Products' (AMP) newly launched DIN rail mountable AK series drives offer a choice of open-loop stepper, closed-loop stepper, or full closed-loop servo motion control in a compact feature-rich package in combination with NEMA 11 to NEMA 34 frame motors operating from 24–48 VDC power.

Testing aerospace fuel pumps requires highly controlled environments that replicate real-world operating conditions, while also meeting strict hazardous-area compliance requirements. Beckhoff helped Futura Systems develop a flexible test rig platform capable of supporting multiple pump variants within a single architecture.

Copper remains the preferred material for high-current distribution in switchgear and control panels, but what is best practice for bending and fabricating copper busbars correctly? The experts at Rittal explain how you can ensure accurate and repeatable production in modern panel building environments.

At InnoTrans 2026, Southco, will showcase its extensive portfolio of mechanical and electromechanical latches, locks, fasteners, hinges and positioning solutions - all designed to enhance safety, security, maintenance efficiency and passenger comfort across a wide range of rolling-stock applications.

Underestimating the level of variation in thread friction and surface conditions can undermine the effectiveness of the applied torque and resulting preload and, in extreme cases, lead to joint failure. The solution, say the experts at BUMAX is to always choose fasteners manufactured from premium stainless steel under high-quality production processes that have less surface roughness and variation in frictional behaviour.
