New configurable AI-powered 3D machine vision from SICK combines deep learning with precise height data analysis via its Nova foundation software. The company has equipped its Nova machine vision platform with AI deep learning algorithms to enable ease-of-use and quick customisation, opening up a range of new capabilities.

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.

While 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.

Chris Johnson, managing director of bearing specialist SMB Bearings, explains how selecting heat resistant, sealed bearings can improve reliability in bakery operations.

In today's premium marine environments, design consistency has become as critical as performance. As darker finishes and contrast driven interiors define modern vessels, even small hardware details play an outsized role in the overall experience. Responding to this shift, Southco has introduced Black PVD coated versions of its M1 Compression Latch and E6 Constant Torque Hinge - bringing a cohesive, refined look to visible marine access points without compromising durability.

Emerson says its new TESCOM RC-X motorised injection rate control valve supports accurate, repeatable dosing of offshore chemicals to maintain flow assurance for refineries and reduce overall chemical injection costs.

Renishaw has expanded its machine tool probing range with two new products that help manufacturers bring more inspection processes directly onto the machine tool: RMP400S, an all-in-one spindle probe for smart manufacturing, and RUP60, an ultrasonic thickness measurement probe.

The aerospace sector is undergoing a shift. As platforms across commercial aviation, defence and emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) applications evolve, one technology is becoming increasingly central to their design: electro-mechanical actuation. The experts at Regal Rexnord explain.

HEMCO offers a wide selection of standard sizes of enclosures for robotics applications in vented or HEPA-filtered models.

EAO is expanding its Series 09 Rugged Keypads for the marine industry, providing boat builders with durable, customisable control solutions designed for pleasure boats, yachts, cruisers, centre consoles and other recreational vessels.
