TR Chai Yi Precision Fastenings Manufacturing, now part of the Trifast group of companies, is celebrating the launch of its Chinese manufacturing facility in the key industrial city of Dongguan, within the Guangdong Province, capitalising on years of increasing demand in the region.

PennEngineering has announced the expansion of its operations located in Galway City, Ireland. This significant extension is set to create 70 new jobs over the next five years, in support of the company's commitment to growth and community development.

IPS Adhesives has introduced a new adhesive that provides strong, reliable bonding on low surface energy (LSE) materials such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). The new SCIGRIP SG400LSE adhesive requires no surface preparation and has low sag, as well as short working and fixture times.

Adding quality and reliability to a range of manufactured products that includes safes and wireless headphones, LOCTITE 402 stands out as an ultra-performing, fast-setting instant adhesive for industry professionals needing to enhance the quality of their bonding.

Kistler and Nidec SYS have combined their capabilities to deliver the Inline Vision and Weld system, offering automated quality assurance in the punching industry. The system is the only one of its kind to combine the optical quality inspection of punching strips from Kistler with the precise servo-controlled cutting and laser welding technology from Nidec SYS.

Chemique Adhesives has helped building products manufacturer, Mannok, to maximise the efficiency of its manufacturing operations, with a new laminating production line integrating Chemique's latest adhesive technology.

Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE) - a specialist in power beam welding technologies - has been shortlisted for a prestigious Engineering and Manufacturing Award for its Ebflow technology, which is fast emerging as a key enabler in the transition towards a net-zero future.

Adhesives and dispensing equipment supplier Intertronics has launched the THINKY ARE-312, an industrial planetary mixer that can mix, defoam, and degas liquids, powders, and pastes in seconds to minutes to produce a uniform, homogenous mix.

Adhesives and sealants specialist Intertronics has supplied Process Instruments (Pi), a water analyser instrument manufacturer, with high performance flexible epoxy IRS 2125. The versatile adhesive offered performance benefits as a thread locker on flow cells and an IP68 rated sealant on sensors.

Process speed and control are two of the many benefits that UV curing adhesives can bring to manufacturers bonding medical plastics. To build an accurate and repeatable new process, all process variables need to be understood, so they can be eliminated or kept within acceptable tolerances. Here Peter Swanson, Managing Director of Intertronics, explains how medical device manufacturers can achieve a reliable and repeatable UV curing adhesive process.
