Behind Everything in Life, there’s Vacuum! Our slogan says it all; what we can tell you is that vacuum is an enabling technology for the manufacturing of products all around us.

Flexible bulk bags, such as FIBCs, are used in a range of industrial applications. Powders and bulk solids tend to be the primary material to be loaded into the bags and transported to other locations, causing dust to envelope the plant and static electricity to build up on the transfer pipes and hoses. Together, these are a dangerous mix and without proper safety protocols, could cause a static discharge incident, resulting in fires or explosions.

Neodymium Iron Boron magnets are utilised in a wide number of industries, including the highly demanding wind turbine industry. A multitude of these magnets are bonded together to increase the overall level of magnetism.

One industry that has taken a fresh look at additive manufacture for machine parts is food packaging. Whether the requirement is end-of-arm tooling with complex internal vacuum lines not possible with conventional machining or unique machine parts, that provides a specific function, these can easily be achieved with additive manufacture.

Basically they all come down to Competitive Advantage. And what business doesn’t want and need that?

The automotive industry features one the most sophisticated–and increasingly complex–supply chains in manufacturing. For newer components, such as heated car seats, strict quality requirements ensure that manufactured materials and systems result in a car that is both safe and comfortable to drive.

Believe it or not, there was once a time before USB conquered the world, when connecting any sort of data recording equipment to your PC risked turning into a lengthy and frustrating process, even if you had the right hardware to hand. But back in the early 2000s, Lascar’s engineering team realised that USB was set to revolutionise data connectivity.

Fluid processing requirements are becoming ever more stringent, and so high pressure homogenisation is increasingly surfacing as a solution to meeting these needs. It is widely understood that almost every type of sample will have its own unique optimum processing parameters, due to differing particle sizes, densities, rigidity and so on. Therefore, it is of great importance ideal parameters are identified and applied during homogenisation.

The story of the Tower of Babel describes a time where all human beings spoke the same language. When the Babylonians decided to build a tower tall enough to reach heaven, God stepped in and created a multitude of languages so the builders could no longer understand each other. The result? The tower was never completed. Here Sophie Hand, UK country manager at industrial parts supplier EU Automation, explains the universal language of automation equipment ― OPC UA.

ADR-50D Inspection Systems using positive contact technology provide more precise detection vacuum and miniscule mechanical canning faults at variable line speeds up to 2000cpm to maintain optimum consumer satisfaction and product loyalty supplied at a competitive cost.

Monitoring compressed air usage within industrial applications has become increasingly important as the associated costs continue to rise dramatically.

With over 35 years’ experience, Churchill Controls is the UK’s leading design and manufacturer of lower power radio telemetry systems.

In recent years, developments in computed tomography have concentrated on the high-resolution measurement of large workpieces and materials that are difficult to penetrate. To this end, large and heavy coordinate measuring machines were used. X-ray tubes came in two varieties: Closed tubes often need to be replaced after just two or three years, while open X-ray sources require maintenance several times a year. This results in frequent downtime and high maintenance costs.

Martindale Electric’s new CABLOK series, provide maintenance teams with a simple and reliable solution for locking off multiple breakers, switches and valves, to prevent the re-energising of circuits and systems during maintenance, as part of a safe isolation procedure.

The drum forming of chicken, pork and meat replacement products is not new; it’s been a standard technique in food processing for many years now. But perfecting it? … that really is different. The new GEA MaxiFormer has been designed by GEA to solve many of the problems traditionally associated with drum forming. By fully understanding the whole process, including the critical grinding, chilling and filling operations, GEA has made detailed but important changes to the technology, that have a big effect on the final product.

~ Breaking the chains of Traditional Machine Vision ~

In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the jealous stepmother of the protagonist orders the title character to be killed. Snow White escapes and is later discovered hiding in the seven dwarfs’ cottage. To further her evil agenda, the stepmother disguises herself as a hag to deliver a poisoned apple, which causes Snow White to fall into a deathlike sleep that can only be broken by a kiss from a prince. Here Harel Boren, CEO of Inspekto, founder of Autonomous Machine Vision, explains how manufacturers and their QA managers can ensure their QA story has a happy ending, just like Snow White’s.
