With Thomson's Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), Rodriguez is offering a collaborative reach extension for cobots for the first time. The solution extends the workspace by a movable 7th axis and enables a cobot to be deployed at multiple stations within a production line. This allows production processes to be structured more flexibly and robot systems to be utilised more effectively.

Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer (HBK) has expanded the interface options available for its proven WI and WA inductive displacement sensor series, introducing models with an IO-Link interface, alongside existing industrial interface options.

Micro-Epsilon has released a new version of its powerful, user-friendly software tool, 3DInspect, which enables 3D data capture and evaluation from its 3D sensor portfolio.

Mobile machinery used in construction and other similar industries demand robust and reliable components which are essential in helping to deliver high precision and optimum reliability. This is where sensor specialist Baumer's safety compliant inclination sensors excel.

New machinery is relatively straightforward to install, but building consistency across multiple facilities is often much harder. Here, Mark Richards, sales manager at Beckhoff UK, explains why standardising automation matters for growing manufacturers.

Mid-life rail carriage upgrades present a powerful opportunity for maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) teams to introduce higher-performance, industry-compliant and passenger-focused improvements that deliver operational and experiential gains, writes Stewart Beck, Global Product Manager, Southco.

KROHNE is highlighting its latest advancements in electromagnetic flowmeter (magmeter) diagnostics and field verification tools. Building on more than sixty years of magmeter technology, KROHNE's innovative magmeter diagnostics are set a high standard in flow measurement with features designed to help customers maximise process reliability, safety, and efficiency.

Rockwell Automation has announced an API-enabled integration between Plex Quality Management System (QMS) and FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI. The integration, available today, expands AI-driven quality management and reflects Rockwell's continued investment in artificial intelligence and elastic MES solutions.

ifm has introduced the AL1602, a multiprotocol-capable IO-Link master from the AutomationLine range. Designed for decentralised use directly in the field, the new device combines flexible I/O configuration, high output current, and robust IP67 construction to support scalable automation across a wide range of industrial applications where reliable field-level installation is required such as Intralogistics.

As commercial, defence, and emerging platforms shift away from hydraulic systems toward distributed electromechanical actuation, the demand for compact, high-performance motion solutions has never been greater. At the centre of this shift is an often-overlooked component: the precision miniature motor, as the experts at Regal Rexnord explain.
