Whether used in sorting plants, elevators or offshore cranes: Nothing would be moving in modern logistics and production processes without guide rollers. Guide rollers ensure precise movement along defined tracks and carry loads with perfect reliability - and they do so in continuous operation both indoors and outdoors. For this vast variety of applications, norelem offers four product series with different materials and degrees of hardness.

Advanced technoPLUS (IP 66, IP 67, IP 69K) plastic enclosures from Rolec for pole-mount electronics that must survive dust, moisture or high-pressure washdowns.

With more than 119,000 public EV charge points installed across the UK, the challenge is shifting from expanding the network to making charging easier, more reliable and more accessible. Here, Dave Walsha, sales and marketing director at Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), explains why precision motion control is fundamental to the next generation of EV charging.

Rising material costs, tighter production schedules and increasing demand volatility are changing how manufacturers assess efficiency. Dave Gregory, Area Sales Manager at assembly tools manufacturer Desoutter Tools, explains why rework is no longer a downstream issue and how greater visibility at the point of assembly is becoming critical to controlling it.

R.A. Rodriguez (UK) can now offer magnetic, non-contact gears and couplings from KHK Motion Drives, a subsidiary of KHK Gears.

The expanded uEye FA series adds models with 2 to 12.5 MP Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, combining rugged protection with high image quality for industrial automation and inspection tasks.

Many robotics teams eventually confront the same question: the silicon looks promising, the benchmark numbers are compelling, and the demo runs cleanly. So why does it still take eighteen months to get a deployable robot out the door? The answer, as the experts at Analog Devices explain, is rarely the processor. It is everything that surrounds it.

Beckhoff Automation has launched the new ED series EtherCAT Terminals, providing machine builders and control engineers with a modernised I/O solution that combines faster installation, simplified diagnostics and seamless compatibility with existing EtherCAT systems.

WEBER-HYDRAULIK has expanded its development and manufacturing expertise in the field of hydraulic cylinders and now also produces large-dimension cylinders for high-performance applications.

From distribution centres and fulfilment hubs to packaging lines and manufacturing facilities, the Smart Camera 3D from Contrinex provides the accurate dimensional data required to optimise automated handling processes.
