Burkert Fluid Control Systems has released a new 2-way proportional valve with pressure compensation. The Type 2852 offers high flow rates as well as higher pressure operations compared to equivalent size valves, and can handle oxygen, air, natural gases and fuel gases.

In semiconductor production, high precision is essential. A critical stage is the lapping of the blanks, which ensures a uniform thickness. In order to continuously monitor the wafer thickness, white light interferometers are ideally suitable, says Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.

Mechan Controls says the F-Series Safety System represents a breakthrough in industrial safety technology. As the latest version of Mechan's RFID safety systems, the F-Series draws on over 50 years of experience in designing machine guard safety products.

METCASE is raising the bar with a new range of universal tilt/swivel carry handles for fitting to any customer-specified metal electronic enclosures. These ergonomic carry handles double as desk stands. They can be adjusted in 30 degree increments, enabling the device to be positioned at the perfect angle for viewing and operation.

The 'hammer demo' for Contrinex's robust 700 Series inductive sensors is surprising and compelling. To illustrate how these sensors differ from typically brittle inductive sensors, a 700 Series M30 inductive sensor, embedded into the head of a mallet, is used to hammer two-inch nails into a block of wood. After this abuse, the sensor still works perfectly.

ifm says its PQ series press sensor sets new standards in performance, reliability, and versatility, poised to revolutionise various industrial applications.

Are you looking to enhance the precision capabilities of your machines? Discover how a high-performance hexapod can be the solution you need. At Machine Building Live, PI and ACS Motion Control are excited to showcase the dynamic capabilities of the high-precision hexapod.

Contrinex manufactures photoelectric sensors as small as 4mm in diameter. These fully functional, self-contained photoelectric sensors are offered in various sensing technologies. An exceptional subset of the M5 sensors is the diffuse sensors with a sapphire lens, which UK representative Plus Automation says provide unparalleled performance in a compact housing.

The SHSLab is a powerful and comprehensive wavefront measurement solution from Micro-Epsilon. Developed by Optocraft, a member of the Micro-Epsilon group of companies since 2018, SHSLab Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used for applications such as optics testing, optics alignment and laser beam characterisation.

Ian Holland, Managing Director at DOLD Industries, discusses the electrical safety considerations involved in designing safe and reliable EV charging stations.
