High tech drive chains make steel looper tower accumulator reliable
To improve the longterm operational productivity of its annealing line,Tsubakimoto has helped a steel mill in the Netherlands byreplacing lifting chains that failed frequently with ones that have proven to have a working life of 10-15 years or even longer.
Grafted organoids provide insight into neurological disorders
Many neurological disorders—Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, even depression—have lagged behind in new therapies. Because the brain is so complex, it can be difficult to discover new drugs and even when a drug is promising in animal models, it often doesn’t work for humans.Scientists are aiming to change that with stem cell technology by taking skin cells from a patient and turning those cells into neurons.
Dual-polarised 5 GHz feed horn reflector dish antennas
KP Performance Antennas has introduced two dual-polarised feed horn reflector dish antennas that are ideal for point-to-point and customer premises equipment (CPE) applications.KP’s 5 GHz feed horn antennas have an adjustable bracket that allows for vertical/horizontal or ±45-degree slant polarisation schemes and delivers 27 dBi and 30.5 dBi, respectively. These antennas operate in the 4900-5900 MHz frequency range and provide VSWR a...
Vibratory finishing spans a multitude of applications
PDJ Vibro at MACH this year will focus on the depth of experience and expertise it offers to customers. Now in its second generation and run by managing and technical directors David and Paul Hurley respectively, the company was established in 1983 by their father John, the current chairman. With an eye to succession, passing this knowledge down to David's son Tom and Paul's two sons, James and Adam, and acclimatising them to the world of manufac...

The industrial Ethernet communication standard PROFINET and the industrial network protocol EtherNet/IP has been added to REO UK's range of Fieldbus interfaces. The two additions will help manufacturers improve power control in Industry 4.0 applications in food and beverage manufacturing, process engineering, water treatment and electroplating.REO UK has added the flexibility of PROFINET and EtherNet/IP to models in its range of REOTRON power con...
How to optimise pneumatic for cost and performance benefits
Compressed air is sometimes referred to as the 4thutility. In many sectors of industry, it is as important to the viability of an operation as electricity or water. For this reason, it is important to pay the same degree of attention to the optimisation and correct operation of pneumatic systems as to other utilities, for cost, performance and reliability reasons. Author: Hermann Störk, European Product Manager for Air Preparation, Parker H...
The nanocoating tech boom thanks to the smartphone market
Most people daily encounter the use of smartphones, tablets, laptops and a whole host of other connected devices in common places such as home, work and travel life. But which of these devices do consumers currently need (or expect) to be water resistant?Ady Moores, CEO ofP2i, has the answer and explains more here.
Additives combat corrosive effects of salts and fluids
It can often be necessary to use corrosive seawater, brine solutions, or deicing chemicals for municipal and industrial applications, but these can create a major problem for any metals in the system. Cortec’s new brochure, “VpCI Additives for Deicing Salts and Fluids,” describes additives to combat these corrosive fluids containing salts. VpCI additives form a thin molecular corrosion inhibiting layer that adsorbs on the surfac...
Test reveals antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 30 minutes
The discovery of antibiotics in the early part of the 20th century changed modern medicine. Simple infections that previously killed people became easy to treat. Antibiotics' ability to stave off infections made possible routine surgeries, organ transplants, and chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer.But because of overuse and misuse, antibiotics are losing their effectiveness.
