Drives and Controls is taking place on 5-6 June 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham, as part of Smart Manufacturing and Engineering Week. Engineering component and power transmission solution distributor Drive Lines will be showcasing couplings, gearboxes, screw jacks and stops.

Elesa is continuing to innovate with components in SUPER-technopolymer, a latest generation polymeric plastic material with high mechanical performance, excellent resistance to chemical agents, and optimum thermal properties. Elesa has introduced new STP threaded stems designed for levelling equipment and machinery.

Parker Hannifin has enhanced its standalone and multi-axis Parker servo drives (PSD) offering with a new I/O option board. This versatile option card, accommodating one or two cards per drive, introduces an array of technical features that improve the adaptability and performance of the complete PSD family.

When it comes to the precise processing of plastics, paper, textile and sheet metal it is necessary to unwind, wind or rewind continuous material webs with a defined tension to achieve perfect subsequent processing steps. That's why STOBER is focused on ensuring companies working in these industries, and others, get both quality and precision from every single roll.

Control Techniques introduces the SI-I/O 24 Plus, a simple yet cost-effective option module that provides a plug-in high density I/O expansion solution for its dynamic Digitax HD servo drives and high performance Unidrive range.

When you use an optimised control platform, you reduce non-value-added development effort and can sometimes deliver to your customers faster. Aerotech is revolutionising precision motion and machine control with the Automation1 Precision Machine and Motion Control Platform. We talk to Patrick Wheeler, product manager at Aerotech.

In response to the evolving energy efficiency landscape and the increasing demand for environmental responsibility, WEG has launched its new W23 Sync+ ULTRA motor. The new motor boasts IE6 efficiency - going one step further than its predecessor.

Motion Control Products is excited to introduce the VLR-100 encoder, Netzer's latest advancement in angular precision position measurement technology, engineered to thrive in challenging environments.

The trend toward miniaturisation continues, creating demand for increasingly powerful sensors with more compact housing dimensions. To keep up with this trend, the time-of-flight principle of measurement has been integrated by Pepperl+Fuchs into the R20x compact housing design, combining precise and rugged long-distance measurement technology for areas where space is very limited.

Nabtesco has long adopted the production concept of mass customisation, ensuring fast delivery of individual, high-performance and cost-effective gear solutions.
