Are the darkest days of COVID-19 behind us?

When we talk about the state of the manufacturing industry, there is often, reasonably, a lot of doom and gloom. But, finally, it seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Slewing rings offer critical design & manufacturing advantages

Slewing rings offer critical design & manufacturing advantages

Why are lightweight slewing rings (bearings) rapidly becoming the first choice for design engineers in demanding motion control applications?

The next evolution in industrial automation: Self-aware motion control

The next evolution in industrial automation: Self-aware motion control

The next evolution in industrial automation requires a machine independently to adapt its performance parameters to complete an assigned task from a factory operator, or reconfigure itself to optimise its behaviour based on input from a productivity-enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) observer algorithm.

Closing the gap between simulation and reality

Closing the gap between simulation and reality

Offline design and simulation of robotic installations help reduce the time to get real robot applications up and running, cutting commissioning time and avoiding production disruption. Here, Julian Ware, UK & Ireland Sales Manager at ABB Robotics, looks at the benefits of offline simulation and how it can help users to transform the flexibility and costs of their robotic automation.

Mobility unchained: Fleet start for Schaeffler’s chainless drive for e-cargo bikes

Mobility unchained: Fleet start for Schaeffler’s chainless drive for e-cargo bikes

Electric cargo and utility bikes are becoming an increasingly common sight in big cities, where they are the ideal solution for speedy, climate-friendly transportation and distribution of food, mail, medicine and more. To help with this trend, Schaeffler has been partnering with two-wheeler electric drive specialist Heinzmann GmbH & Co. KG to develop a chainless drive system called Free Drive.
