The Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin has introduced two new versions of its SOFT-SHIELD multi-planar electrically conductive foam EMI shielding gasket: the more cost-effective SOFT-SHIELD 4840 for high-volume grounding applications; and SOFT-SHIELD 4860, a halogen-free EMI shielding gasket for use in high-temperature systems.

Matt Parkes, AM strategic development manager at global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, explains the benefits of TEMPUS technology – a new innovation that mitigates the cost of recoating on build time and can enhance additive manufacturing (AM) productivity for Renishaw’s RenAM 500 series of metal AM systems.

The new Branson GMX-Micro ultrasonic welders from Emerson offer advanced controls and better connectivity for faster welding of EV batteries, conductors and terminations.

IDEC has expanded its line of emergency stop (E-stop) switches with new XA/XW series short body models. These industrial-grade and outdoor-rated models are designed in the space-saving size essential for robotic and industrial equipment applications, with features to meet the increased requirements of international safety standards.

A new patented mechanical power transmission monitoring product range from jbj Techniques is proving to be the perfect solution for maintenance personnel and production planners alike. It offers exceptional advantages for use within mechanical drivetrains that operate critical or non-critical processes and provides constant data about the condition of either gearboxes (AIQ Core) or the elastomers within drive couplings (AIQ Detect).

Increasing automation in industry raises the demand for precision gears. Efficiency, availability and safety will be among the main requirements in 2024. Nabtesco’s cycloidal gear systems guarantee fast, precise positioning and have been successfully used for more than 30 years in robotics and automation around the world.

Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced the introduction of a new 21.5-inch TFT display module from industrial display manufacturer, Chefree Technology Corporation.

TDK Corporation has expanded its portfolio of single-phase EMC filters with the B84742A*R725 series. These components serve AC as well as DC applications up to 250 V and rated currents from 6 A to 30 A.

Linear systems used for simple adjustment and positioning tasks, such as adjustable retail displays, now have a greener, low-cost solution. Injection-moulded from regranulated, high-performance plastic, igus’s new polymer slides in the drylin Econ series are both cost effective and sustainable.
