Compact Machining Centre Is Highly Customisable
By employing a novel method for protecting the table’s X and Y axis guideways from swarf and coolant ingress, using a single wiper system and without recourse to telescopic covers Spinner, has managed to endow its new VC1150 vertical machining centre with a working volume of 1,150 x 620 x 600 mm in a compact footprint of barely six square metres. This is up to 30 per cent smaller than for other machines of similar capacity.
Intelligent Robots, should we be scared?
In 1942 science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov bestowed upon the world The Three Laws of Robotics in his collection of short stories I, Robot. This was the basis for a reasonably successful film by the same name that you might have seen. By Mark Proctor

Increase Productivity and Process Reliability with New UHF RFID Reader F190 from Pepperl+Fuchs
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the new compact F190 UHF Read/Write Head. The F190 features a robust sealed metal housing and a compact footprint for reliable operation in adverse environmental conditions and simple installation even in tight spaces. Because several products in a container can be detected at the same time using multi-tag reading, the F190 simultaneously simplifies processes and reduces processing time. The F190 easily integrates into ex...
Upgraded PLC features five CPU types
Users of the Simatic S7-200 programmable logic controller (PLC) from Siemens need to note that it will be discontinued from October 2014. The replacement available from RS Components is the new generation Micro-SPS Simatic S7-1200 controller, which offers significant price and performance advantages over the previous model.
Gantry-type milling machine features dynamic toolchanger
A portal machining centre with gantry drive for the production of large, high accuracy components has been launched by SHW Werkzeugmaschinen. The machine features a new, dynamic toolchanger that exchanges HSK A 100 or equivalent tools while machining is in progress, and an operating platform that can travel with the spindle into the working area. Both are believed to be world firsts.
Printed sensor technology is holding strong
Printing sensors is one way to make them cheap enough for widespread IoT applications, and Europe is leading the way in developing this technology, Sally Ward-Foxton writes for ES Design magazine.
