Developments in manufacturing and robotics technologies are offering patients a prosthetic experience like never before as Dave Walsha, sales manager at DC motor supplier EMS explains.

As the latest generation of surgical power tools enable even greater capabilities to improve patient outcomes, there’s an increased need for their designers to consider the motion system that drives them, as the experts at Portescap explain.

At Formnext 2023, Renishaw launched TEMPUS technology, which enables users of its metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems to reduce build times by up to 50 per cent, with no impact on part quality.

Portescap is excited to announce its participation in SPS 2023, taking place at the Nuremberg Convention Centre in Nuremberg, Germany from 14-16 November, 2023.

A predominant consideration in surgical robot manufacture is the need for motors that can deliver both dexterity and power, all while maintaining a compact size, as the experts at Portescap explain.

New stainless steel compression latches to IP65/67 now from the DIRAK/FDB Panel Fittings sales partnership allow flexible use, especially in outdoor situations where their wing knob inserts enable quick and easy operation even with a gloved hand.

Earlier this year, TFC announced its acquisition of EAP Seals, a leading manufacturer and distributor of rubber seals, O-rings, gaskets and associated technical products. Here Morgan Burgoyne (MB), president of TFC, talks to Dean Oliviero (DO), managing director of EAP Seals, to discuss trends in the UK seals industry.
