Sprint Electric has announced a strategic partnership with TEC Motors, the UK's largest electric motor distributor, to supply matched motors for its Generis ultra-low harmonic and fully regenerative AC drive.

On 15 October 2025, the National Agricultural Exhibition Centre in Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, plays host to MachineBuilding.Live, the UK’s only event staged exclusively for machine builders, systems integrators and OEMs. Well over 100 exhibitors, all leaders in their particular fields, will bring you a comprehensive overview of all aspects of our industry.

SICK has launched the new OD200, a compact laser distance sensor for measuring short ranges that sets new standards in this sensor class with its outstanding stability on highly reflective, dark and irregular surfaces. It delivers high performance and productivity even in complex and demanding applications, such as shiny metal and plastic parts and in poor lighting conditions, to reduce errors and minimise costly rework.

The machinery safety landscape is ever evolving bringing with it a raft of changes to current legislation to cope with issues such as increasing digitisation and flexibility requirements. Speaking at MachineBuilding.North, Pilz machinery safety specialist Alex Bryce summarises the changes.

The latest addition to ABB's all-compatible drive portfolio simplifies machine integration and is future-proofed for industrial automation, and you'll be able to see it at MachineBuilding.Live.

Rollon announces the integration of the spherical plain bearings range into myRollon, its digital platform designed to support engineers and designers throughout every phase of the project development process. With this update, users can now select, configure, and access technical documentation and CAD files for the entire spherical plain bearings range.

Today's machine control solutions demand enhanced flexibility, scalability and a wealth of diagnostic capabilities previously unheard of in industrial safety control systems. The experts at EUCHNER explain how this need is driving a shift towards networked fieldbus-connected safety systems.

Designers who need robust linear drives for automated adjustment tasks often waste valuable engineering time integrating motors and controls. To resolve this, igus has developed the drylin SLX-8060 - a ready-to-fit linear system with an electric lead screw drive.
