Laser machining centre to revolutionise control panel production at engineering firm

01/12/2017

In a “UK first”, Runcorn and Ewloe-based electrical engineering firm, LCA Controls, has switched its control panel operations from manual production to laser-machining. The move is expected to transform its productivity and efficiency.

Affordable bespoke enclosures now here

01/12/2017

Bespoke sheet metal enclosures – one-off, batch or more - are no longer an expensive or out-of-the-question option. Why compromise with a standard and inflexible product when you can have precisely what you want? Coupled to getting the specification right, today’s rapid prototyping is the key to affordability, argues ICEE’s Chris Arnold.

How to minimise vibration on high precision machines

01/12/2017

In a wide range of applications machine builders are demanding increased accuracy and precision from their production equipment. Simultaneously, increasingly complex automation has created an additional challenge, as the vibration of dynamic machine components can significantly increase vibration of the complete system.
