No more worrying about chips and dirt with closed cable carrier

No more worrying about chips and dirt with closed cable carrier

The UNIFLEX Advanced series offers reliable solid plastic cable carriers with fixed cable carrier widths. These all-rounders in the Kabelschlepp Metool range are quiet and lightweight, yet robust. That also applies to the UAT1555: This cable carrier was developed for rough ambient conditions with chips, dirt and dust and effectively prevents foreign bodies from entering into the cable space.

Driving up performance in surgical hand tools

Driving up performance in surgical hand tools

As the capabilities of control systems grow, so the potential use cases for surgical hand tools also grow. These increasingly sophisticated motion profiles demand more accurate speed and position information. Andrew Sharp of Portescap examines the benefits and trade-offs of different feedback options, enabling designers to develop surgical hand tools that are capable of addressing the most demanding motion profiles.

Threadlocker resolves quality issue

Threadlocker resolves quality issue

The adhesive that pipe fitting manufacturer Huot had been using to seal its threaded products was causing quality issues. When cured, it became brittle resulting in the seal breaking if the fitting was accidentally dropped. Even the impact of the fitting being thrown into a steel storage box could result in the seal fracturing.

Incremental improvements for your adhesives process

Incremental improvements for your adhesives process

Increasing productivity is often about small changes – slightly increasing yield, decreasing waste, reducing materials used or improving quality. It is not always about increases in output, or about overhauling an entire line to achieve it. Here Kevin Cook, Technical Manager at adhesives specialist Intertronics, explains how taking an incremental approach to improving an adhesives process adds up.
