Aerotech has announced the LaserTurn280, a new motion platform for the laser machining of cylindrical components. The system is aimed at machine builders and manufacturers of medical devices seeking to produce higher volumes whilst maintaining consistent part quality.

As machinery becomes more advanced, standard components, especially gearboxes, often fall short. Overcoming this challenge demands custom solutions, engineered to meet precise performance needs. Here, Dave Walsha, Sales Director at custom precision gearbox manufacturer Electro Mechanical Systems, explains how custom gearboxes are engineered to support and enhance specialised machinery design and function.

NORDAC ON, the most recent product family of decentralised frequency inverters from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, has received new functional safety features. The specialist for drive solutions has thus optimised the system for use in automation environments.

Elesa introduces a new dedicated solution within its range of positioning elements: indexing plungers with a chamfered pin, designed to maximise efficiency through an automatic snap-in engagement system.

Mechan Controls' ES Emergency Stop Units are designed to provide a reliable and compliant stop function for machinery and built for harsh environments and high-demand applications.

Like the evolution from bulky cassette-based Walkman to today's pocket-sized smartphones that can store and play tens of thousands of songs - modern engineering also demands greater capability within dramatically reduced physical footprints. Here, Chris Handcock, technical manager at drive system supplier Electro Mechanical Systems, explores how miniaturisation is changing product design.

Power transmission specialist mayr presents braking systems for high braking torques and large-scale applications in harsh environments.

The "Simple-Flex" series from JAKOB Antriebstechnik is a spacer coupling that can be manufactured in lengths ranging from 0.5 m to 6 m and operates without the need for additional intermediate bearings, even over large shaft spans.

Siemens has launched a new ultra-fast electronic circuit protection device in the UK, designed to help buildings, infrastructure and industrial sites detect and contain electrical faults before they lead to damage or disruption.

HEPA and Carbon Filtration Packs from HEMCO are designed to be mounted inline in the exhaust ducting from a fume hood or contaminant source up to 1500 cfm.
