Testing aerospace fuel pumps requires highly controlled environments that replicate real-world operating conditions, while also meeting strict hazardous-area compliance requirements. Beckhoff helped Futura Systems develop a flexible test rig platform capable of supporting multiple pump variants within a single architecture.

Charcroft Electronics has been named Channel Partner of the Year by Sensata Technologies, after achieving the highest percentage growth in industrial components of all Sensata distributors across Europe.

To simplify installation and reduce assembly time, OEM Automatic now offers a complete assembly service for custom safety edges. Each safety edge is manufactured to the customer's exact specification, providing a ready-to-install solution that eliminates the need for on-site cutting, bonding or wiring.

The compact multi-colour beacon 189 from TEXELCO Safety Technology, available from Norstat, is designed to deliver brilliant illumination with LEDs that allow up to 7 colours.

Copper remains the preferred material for high-current distribution in switchgear and control panels, but what is best practice for bending and fabricating copper busbars correctly? The experts at Rittal explain how you can ensure accurate and repeatable production in modern panel building environments.

Standard latches are not up to the job when high IP protection classes, vibrations and tight manufacturing tolerances matter. Compression latches are used when a defined sealing compression is required in addition to the closing function. EMKA has evaluated the recent market demand and identified three typical requirement profiles.

At InnoTrans 2026, Southco, will showcase its extensive portfolio of mechanical and electromechanical latches, locks, fasteners, hinges and positioning solutions - all designed to enhance safety, security, maintenance efficiency and passenger comfort across a wide range of rolling-stock applications.

Underestimating the level of variation in thread friction and surface conditions can undermine the effectiveness of the applied torque and resulting preload and, in extreme cases, lead to joint failure. The solution, say the experts at BUMAX is to always choose fasteners manufactured from premium stainless steel under high-quality production processes that have less surface roughness and variation in frictional behaviour.
