Schwanog, one of the leading international manufacturers of profile tools, relies on a "factory within a factory" for its cutting insert production.
Fully automated production cells enable reliable 24/7 production with continuous quality monitoring. Find out how Werth Messtechnik's precise metrology contributed to the successful realisation of this project.

Euromixers unique range of IBC mixers are designed for use on Industry standard IBC’s with a 150mm screw cap, the E-400 folding impeller fits through a 150mm opening to quickly re-mix the contents when settled out during transport or storage.

Global industrial imaging leader, HIKMICRO, is pioneering an all-encompassing range of reliable and durable infrared thermal cameras, proven to perform on a consistent basis in even mission critical industries and applications.

Their technologically advanced range of firefighting thermal imagers is the most recent to benefit and such is its unwavering precision and consistency it delivers far beyond the fire ground – safely identifying overheating electrical components, mechanical failures and insulation leaks to prevent industrial downtime and accidents, as well as patrolling dark and deep areas with ease and detecting intrusions and concealed threats not visible to the naked eye in security and maritime settings.

For years, the assumption has been that large-scale manufacturing belongs in Asia. China in particular accounts for nearly 30% of global manufacturing output (World Bank, 2023), dominating as the go-to option for cost-conscious supply chains. The UK, by contrast, was long seen as high cost and only suited to niche or specialist production but recent developments suggest that picture is beginning to change.

Thanks to their proven repeatability and reliability, FANUC’s ROBOSHOT injection moulding machines have become a cornerstone of Sovrin Medical Plastics’ business strategy. Over the last two decades, Sovrin has built up a fleet of 34 ROBOSHOTs for producing medical devices and components. In all that time, the Slough-based contract manufacturer cannot recall the last occasion an unplanned breakdown occurred – a testament to the machines’ durability. This is particularly impressive given that the moulding cells operate 24/7 for 50 weeks of the year, with some of the oldest units having completed over 40,000,000 cycles.
