NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a powerful combination for use in mixing and agitating technology: MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units with the SAFOMI-IEC adapter are specifically developed for mixers to improve operational reliability and reduce the use of wear parts.

Available from Norstat, the DUO-BOX from Multi-Box is a durable plastic enclosure that has two functional areas which allow separation of different components while still being maintained in the same enclosure.

When machine builders talk about the benefits of cabinet-free automation, the conversation usually focuses on faster installation and simplified maintenance. What often goes unnoticed is a commercial advantage that starts well before a machine even reaches the factory floor: shipping costs. In a logistics environment increasingly shaped by volumetric pricing models, machine footprint is becoming just as important as machine weight. Here Neil March, MX Product Specialist at Beckhoff, explains how this shift makes control architecture a surprisingly relevant cost driver.

Watlow has announced the launch of its Edge Process Management (EPM) platform, a new class of scalable architecture that brings together data management, process control and automation for temperature-driven operations in regulated industries.

Ben Lloyd, Product Manager at Festo, argues that invisible engineering effort is becoming an unsustainable cost in modern automation systems. So what can be done to avoid this hidden 'integration tax'?

TDK Corporation announces the expansion of the TDK-Lambda D1SE series of cost-effective DIN-rail mount power supplies with 12, 48, and 72 V output models.

Modular Clean Labs features a modular construction design that is cost-effective and time-efficient compared to traditional construction. HEMCO says an entire laboratory workspace is pre-engineered, including the structure and the lab furniture/fume hoods to outfit the interior.

Donaldson has launched its iCue Connected Technology for compressed air and hydraulic fluids filtration equipment.

Strict safety regulations apply to machine components wherever flammable gases, vapours, or dusts can create an explosive atmosphere. To meet these critical requirements, JAKOB Antriebstechnik now offers a wide range of its proven servo couplings with official ATEX certification.

For manufacturers, it is estimated that over a quarter of operating costs are energy related. With rising energy costs and increasing volatility in the energy market, focusing on energy efficient technologies has never been more important. When it comes to electric motors, you'll find a host of solutions at MachineBuilding.South to help you reduce your energy costs.
