It's the final countdown to MachineBuilding.Live, with just two days to go until the show opens its doors at the NAEC Stoneleigh Park on Wednesday 15 October. There's so much to see, so many industry leaders to discuss your projects with, and so many workshops to attend, that it's an event you won't want to miss.

WEG will exhibit at FoodManufacturing.Live 2025, co-located with MachineBuilding.Live, presenting its latest PLC, geared motor range and variable speed drive (VSD) technologies, each designed to improve efficiency and ensure exceptional performance across food, beverage and industrial automation applications.

October 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Low Voltage Variable Speed Drive (LV VSD), which was used in a commercial application for the first time at a sawmill in Finland, in 1975. It was developed in the 1970s by Stromberg, a predecessor to ABB.

Micro drive system supplier Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) is returning to MachineBuilding.Live to showcase the latest motion solutions from FAULHABER. This includes the new 1218 SXR and 1228 SXR DC motors and 22 and 32GPT HT gearheads.

IDS Imaging Development Systems expands its modular camera concept with a remote GigE PoE board (Daughterboard). It enables power supply and data transfer via a single cable, thereby facilitating the integration of motherboard board-level cameras from the GigE uEye LE and uEye SLE series.

Rockwell Automation has announced the highly anticipated launch of its newest controller, ControlLogix 5590, the powerhouse at the core of the Logix platform. Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing, this all-in-one controller delivers seamless software integration and multidiscipline control across the enterprise to streamline operations.

ABSSAC, a premier supplier of specialist transmission and linear motion components, is pleased to highlight its advanced Self Reversing Screw assemblies - purpose engineered to boost efficiency and accuracy in cable, wire, and material winding systems.

On stand 163 in the Action Area at MachineBuilding.Live, Visicon will highlight the magic that happens when you combine the latest in machine vision systems with robotics.

With the growing complexity of automation software, code quality assurance is becoming increasingly important. SIGMATEK's LASAL CLASS engineering tool now offers an optional "Static Code Analysis" (SCA) extension for checking control code created in Structured Text.

The cost of energy has risen sharply in recent years, and it is becoming clear that prices will not be coming down any time soon. At MachineBuildng.Live on 15 October at the NAEC Stoneleigh Park, visitors will find a plethora of products that can help machine builders and their end user customers to minimise their energy usage.
