Flexible approaches to industrial enclosure customisation
TodayIf a standard enclosure doesn't meet application needs, customisation can accommodate requirements without compromising on protection. From CNC machining of small batches to modular tooling for high-volume production, enclosure manufacturers can deliver bespoke solutions that combine design flexibility with cost-effective production, and a fast time-to-market. Chris Lloyd, Managing Director at Spelsberg UK, explains.

TodayMolex has unveiled MiniMix hybrid power and signal connectors, a purpose-built interconnect platform designed to solve manufacturing and packaging challenges in next-generation humanoid robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and advanced industrial automation systems.
Right-sizing control and motion without compromising future flexibility
3 days agoWhile some machines require advanced motion control and high-performance hardware, many do not. Here, Karl Walker, business development manager at Beckhoff Automation UK, explains why right-sizing automation can reduce costs and provide a stronger foundation for future growth.
New battery-operated Bluetooth controller enables truly mobile, plug-and-play access
2 days agoPower limitations, tight spaces and complex security setups have traditionally made Bluetooth access hardware difficult to implement - especially in mobile, retrofit or remote environments. Southco's new Battery-Operated Single Output Bluetooth Controller eliminates these barriers with a fully self-contained, plug-and-play solution that delivers long battery life, simplified installation and secure mobile access.
Supply and charge via the USB PD port
2 days agoThe new Step Power USB-PD power supply from Phoenix Contact is a flexible and efficient solution for supplying power to modern end devices in building automation. The USB PD (Power Delivery) standard not only supplies smart meter gateways, Raspberry Pis, and other smart home components reliably, but also charges mobile end devices such as tablets and laptops quickly.
Fast and reliable installations for electrical and HVAC applications
10 days agoWhether cable clamps, cable ducts, surface-mounted outlets, or mounting rails, electrical and HVAC installations require cost-effective fastening solutions that can be installed quickly while offering a high level of safety. With the new FBS 4 and FBS 5 concrete screws, fastening expert fischer is expanding its product line to include versatile anchoring solutions for concrete and masonry.
Fastening into lightweight UAV sandwich structures, without crushing the core
16 days agoLightweight UAV sandwich structures offer exceptional strength-to-weight performance. But they leave almost no margin for error when it comes to fastening. When a manufacturer found that even a small tightening force could crush the core, and a relatively small loading across a small area could disbond the skins, it turned to bigHead for a solution.
