In automated environments, quality control relies on continuous measurement and test data monitoring. Engineers need systems to ensure the precise and secure positioning of test parts, which is essential for achieving reliable and accurate measurement results. To address this norelem has introduced a new line of modular clamping systems (34005) for metrology.

Humanoid robots, designed to operate in close interaction with humans, rely heavily on smooth and controlled joint and limb motion. This makes the selection of the motors that power the axes of motion critical, as the experts at Portescap explain.

In an age of growing connectivity, the choice between wired and wireless communication can be the deciding factor in the performance and efficiency of a system. Here, Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development and Product Engineering at Swindon Silicon Systems, offers his advice on optimal sensor communication, no matter the environment.

With the Ex STM 515 series, the steute business division Controltec recently introduced compact and robust solenoid interlocks for explosive zones to its range of safety switchgear. This series is now being further extended to include an 'Extreme' variant, which can be used in adverse ambient conditions, such as dust, dirt, wet and vibrations.

To help manufacturers with their bonding needs, adhesives and dispensing specialist Intertronics presents SCIGRIP SG300, a two-component structural methyl methacrylate adhesive (MMA) for bonding metals, composites, and plastics without the use of primers and with little to no surface preparation.

Features of a new series of Ex command devices currently being launched by the steute business division Controltec include flexible and direct integration in machine and plant enclosures within Ex zones 1 and 21.

Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced the 2025 release of Solid Edge software, bringing new capabilities to its product development software.

IDEC has expanded its operator interface (OI) family with the new HG1J Series touchscreen, providing vivid visualisations and responsive multi-touch operation, all in an extremely compact form factor so the technology can be used in more applications than ever before.

As part of its commitment to continued drive development, Nidec Drives has launched the Control Techniques KI-Keypad Plus, its most technically advanced drive user interface to date.

Traditional CAD software has its time and place. But when it comes to the creation of electrical schematics, which can be hundreds of pages long and must be accurate, standardised and quick to produce, it simply cannot hold its own, as the experts at EPLAN explain.
