It is critical in any processing and packaging lines to remove metal contamination. Unwanted metals not only result in costly damage to machinery, loss of productivity and downtime but can impact a company’s reputation on product quality. At this year’s PPMA at the NEC in Birmingham taking place26th-28th September, Eriez Europe will be on stand G24 making their debut at the show showcasing a range of their magnetic separation and meta...

New aluminium versions have been added by WDS Component Parts to its already wide selection of hand wheels. Aluminium offers the advantages of light weight, strength and no corrosion, all attributes that can be useful in some hand wheel applications. Size for size, aluminium wheels are significantly lighter than cast iron or steel alternatives and often not much heavier than plastic ones.

We’ve seen robots pick fruit, walk your dog and even protect you from the rain, but now they’re really taking centre stage.

Not one to shy away from the spotlight, YuMi directed none other than world famous tenor, Andrea Bocelli (pictured left).At a charity concert for the gala of the First International Festival of Robotics, YuMi ente...

The next generation of feature-filled and energy-efficient electronics will require computer chips just a few atoms thick. For all its positive attributes, trusty silicon can’t take us to these ultrathin extremes.Now, electrical engineers at Stanford have identified two semiconductors – hafnium diselenide and zirconium diselenide – that share or even exceed some of silicon’s desirable traits, starting with the fact that al...

Cortec’s VpCI packaging solutions use vapor phase corrosion inhibiting technology to safeguard metal components during shipping when extreme humidity changes can put metals at risk for corrosion.During the export journey, metal parts need corrosion protection from extreme environmental conditions and humidity swings. Electronics and items like expensive high tech medical diagnostic equipment such as MRIs or ultrasounds are devices that coul...

Saelighas introduced theComfilePi- an industrial Raspberry Pi-based touch-panel PC. Leveraging the compact, ubiquitous Raspberry Pi 3 board, the ComfilePi inherits the Raspberry Pi 3's 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU, and 1GB of RAM.

More colleges and universities are being urged to put more focus on metallurgy studies in engineering degrees, especially by global water, energy and maintenance solutions provider NCH Europe.The company believes that an improved education in metallurgical engineering will help the industrial sector effectively tackle the costly problem of rust and corrosion.

No one likes going to the dentist. Between the scraping, drilling and expense it’s an altogether unpleasant experience. However, did you know that your visits would be less frequent if it weren’t for biofilms? Here, Dr Simona Vasilescu oftheWater Treatment Innovation Platformofglobal water, energy and maintenance solutions providerNCH Europe, explains why biofilms could be costing you a minimum of £7,000 in excess annual electri...

Respirable crystalline silica, or also referred to as RCS, is one of the most common naturally occurring elements on the planet. Found in the earth's crust crystalline silica is a key component of soil, sand, granite and other naturally occurring minerals. According to HSE, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is the second biggest risk to construction workers, following asbestos. In fact, it was revealed that it was responsible for between 10 and...

Providing anatomically accurate and procedurally correct models used in training the next generation of medical practitioners, Limbs and Things has recently turned to band saw specialist Starrett for support.We all know that it takes a lot of dedication to choose a career in medicine. To become a GP takes around five years of further training on top of a medical degree, and to become a hospital consultant it can take between seven and nine years....
