Machine builders can streamline design and build while boosting machine reliability for customers with Schneider Electric's new input/output (I/O) system for data aggregation.

A manufacturer of thread stitchers and industrial bookbinding machines looked for a Machine Safety Controller that was flexible and capable enough to manage the safety requirements of their various machines. ReeR Safety's low-cost, highly capable, MZERO units, proved to be perfect, being capable of 'stitching' together and managing all the safety devices installed along their production line.

Recently launched by JVL, and available with full application support from Mclennan in the UK, the new MAC1004 integrated servomotor is set to offers performance, efficiency and flexibility for precision motion control in industrial automation.

ABB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with Raumaster Paper to jointly explore integrated winder solutions in the US, helping paper mills enhance operational efficiency and extend the lifecycle of existing equipment.

OMRON has announced the creation of a dedicated global robotics organisation. This strategic step reflects OMRON's continued commitment to robotics as a core part of its value proposition and an essential pillar of its complete end-to-end automation solutions.

What really grinds manufacturers' gears? Costly downtime and worn-out machinery. Maglev technology takes friction out of the equation, reducing the need for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activity. Here, Mark Richards, UK sales manager at Beckhoff Automation UK, explains the long- and short-term benefits of maglev technology for maintenance engineering.

From 24 to 27 June 2025 Nabtesco will be among the exhibitors at automatica in Munich, presenting the company's diverse production and solution portfolio for robotics and automation under the motto "The Power at your Side".
