Now more than ever, downtime is costly. To combat this, igus developed i.Cee, a smart plastics system that turns passive components into intelligent assets.

Digitalisation opens up tremendous potentials for robotics and machine engineering in terms of productivity, efficiency, process reliability, maintenance, and availability. Nabtesco knows the requirements of industry and implements solutions from digital gears models to sensorised strain wave gears and hybridised cycloidal gears.

Beth Ragdale, software business manager at automation specialist Beckhoff UK, explains how software-defined motion systems can help manufacturers adapt to SKU demand, improving batch-level control.

The MCA and MCG power clamping nuts from JAKOB Antriebstechnik are well-tried clamping devices in production. Up to now, the required nominal clamping force was precisely set by the user using a torque wrench. This is a sensible method for varying clamping forces, as the clamping nut can be used flexibly. However, if the same, constant nominal clamping force is always applied, time can now be saved and safety increased.

Mechan Controls introduces the ISIS Safety System - a powerful, tamper-resistant, non-contact safety solution, matt rubber profiles and e-stop designed for machine guarding applications where guard locking is not required.

Motion29 founder Steve Fisher discusses the company's industrial connectivity range, as well as LED lighting (including ATEX products) for machines to indicate status and enhance safety. Typical applications for the company's components include industrial automation, food manufacturing and automotive manufacture.

PI (Physik Instrumente) offers standard and custom air bearing linear slides. Based on decades of experience from PI's USA engineering and manufacturing teams, these air bearings are designed for applications requiring ultra-smooth, zero stick-slip linear motion and sub-micron straightness and flatness.

B&R Industrial Automation managing director, Andy Norcliffe, discusses the company's ACOPOS 6D transport system which uses magnetically levitating shuttles to carry products and materials to processing stations, eliminating mechanical wear, and speeding up transit times.

Camozzi Automation will return to Machine Building Live on 15 October 2025 at the National Agricultural Exhibition Centre, Stoneleigh Park, bringing a host of new products and live demonstrations to Stand 126.

Now available with full application support from Mclennan in the UK, JVL's SMC66 is a separate stepper motor controller aimed at applications where size restraints, high ambient temperatures, harsh environmental conditions or vacuum operation may preclude the use of the globally leading motion control manufacturer's trademark integrated stepper motors.
