French machinery manufacturer S3DEL has used technology from global industrial automation specialist Inovance to create a high performance 5-axis micro machine.

The latest addition to the extensive, award-winning range of Baumer sensors is the NexSonic UF300, an ultra-compact 18mm flat ultrasonic sensor with a 3-meter sensing range and ideally suited to intralogistics applications.

With the decentralised NORDAC LINK and NORDAC FLEX frequency inverters from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, users have the opportunity of equipping their existing ASi system with state-of-the-art technology.

In an ideal world, every component in a machine or system would be specified by a knowledgeable engineer, in consultation with a product specialist, and installed exactly as intended. In reality, pressures on time and budget can result in design engineers sourcing safety components from online catalogues, only to realise too late that the product was a poor fit. Blake Shields of Tapeswitch explains how consultation at the outset can provide the best outcome.

Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of confocal chromatic distance and thickness measurement sensors with a new High Temperature (HT) series of sensors that withstand operating temperatures up to 200 degC and are suitable for use in ultra-high vacuums and clean rooms.

Industrial Security not only includes the protection of data, but at the same time also guarantees the integrity of safety functions and measures, as Pilz sales manager Jason Reed explains in this workshop presented at Machine Building Live.

Procter Machine Safety has released an updated (third edition) technical white paper examining BS EN ISO 14122, the key standard governing permanent means of access to machinery.

Lenze has been certified according to IEC 62443-4-1 since November 2025. TUV Rheinland thus confirms that Lenze meets the requirements of this internationally recognised standard for a secure development process for industrial automation and drive products.

In today's industrial landscape, precise, reliable and flexible automation solutions are key to competitiveness. Sensors play a central role here, providing the data on which all control and optimisation processes are based. However, traditional sensor technology is increasingly reaching its limits, says Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.

RS has announced that its own brand, RS PRO, has become the official sponsor of DesignSpark Mechanical, the powerful 3D CAD modelling software designed to make mechanical design faster, easier, and more intuitive for design engineers.
