Leading industrial enclosure manufacturer, Spelsberg els UK Ltd, a subsidiary of Gunther Spelsberg, celebrates two impressive milestones with long service awards for Clare McCusker, who has reached fifteen years with the company, and Chris Lloyd who marks twenty years’ service.
For motor factors, distributors and fleet managers, one increasingly important consideration is making sure the replacement part supplied will deliver OE-equivalent performance and be problem-free. This is particularly important when choosing an exhaust system component.
Bürkert’s SideCONTROL series of electropneumatic positioners and controllers integrate with virtually any pneumatic control valve actuator to provide the advantages of digital communications. SideCONTROL offers fast and simple integration to upgrade analogue pneumatic control valves without the time, cost or complexity of a full digital system transition.
Across laboratories worldwide – from research and development to clinical diagnostics – laboratory professionals rely on pipettes to measure and dispense precise liquid volumes. Even small inconsistencies at this early step can cascade into costly failed assays, repeat testing, or compliance risks, making accuracy and repeatability essential. As a result, air‑displacement micropipettes are often the primary choice in modern testing environments.
Selecting the right fire-protection enclosure is essential to maintain the operation of safety-critical systems during a fire. Spelsberg’s WKE enclosure range offers a choice of standard connection and fuse versions, enabling designers and installers to achieve the protection, connection flexibility, and safety performance across an installation.
With a new European organisational structure and a unified brand identity, the TSUBAKI Group is taking a new direction in Europe. Since 1 July, the newly founded TSUBAKI EUROPE HOLDINGS B.V. in Dordrecht, Netherlands, is bringing its European companies together under a joint umbrella. The objective is to link competencies, know-how and resources even more strongly within Europe in the future, and to use them for providing joint customer solutions.
An Indian oil company with a large fleet of reciprocating compressors was facing reliability issues with a Laby® compressor in a propylene application. Due to gaps in the maintenance strategy, the lubrication system developed some issues, which was causing the compressor to perform below its full potential.
In industrial facilities where 400–480V three-phase power is standard, machine builders are often faced with a different kind of challenge. It is not a question of whether to use high voltage but how to design motion systems that work effectively within that environment without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Electrification is drastically reshaping aerospace motion control. As commercial, defense, and emerging platforms shift away from hydraulic systems toward distributed electromechanical actuation, the demand for compact, high-performance motion solutions has never been greater.
Maintaining hygienic flow conditions in purified water (PW) and water for injection (WFI) sub-loops, a critical challenge is minimising the biofilm risk. Traditional approaches like monitored T-valve systems fail to guarantee consistent conditions, while the geometry of Coriolis flow meters aren’t typically optimised for hygiene.
If a standard enclosure doesn’t meet application needs, customisation can accommodate requirements without compromising on protection. From CNC machining of small batches to modular tooling for high-volume production, enclosure manufacturers can deliver bespoke solutions that combine design flexibility with cost-effective production, and a fast time-to-market.
The aerospace sector is undergoing a shift. As platforms across commercial aviation, defense, and emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) applications evolve, one technology is becoming increasingly central to their design: electro-mechanical actuation.
Ambitious high-end construction projects in Bahrain and Macau using render as the central fabric of its facade, created greatly contrasting but equally impressive and memorable environments providing the comfort and function inherently required. This amplifies the challenges faced by designers when choosing building components that can transcend the extremes of their local climates.
In many automation set-ups, safety still operates on a simple on/off binary – the machine is either running, or it isn’t. This means when human operators need access to the space around the machine, power is completely cut and all motion comes to a halt until they leave again and the system is reset.
