The supply of a 3,000 hp frequency inverter for large shredder plant at S. Norton Group in Manchester helps with significant reduction in energy consumption
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
The HERMES AWARD, one of the world's most coveted industry prizes, was presented by Cem Özdemir, Germany’s Federal Minister of Education and Research at the opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on 30 March 2025.

China Import and Export Fair, also known as the “Canton Fair”, is the World’s No.1 Expo in terms of scale. Canton Fair will see its 137th session to be held from April 15 to May 5, 2025 in Guangzhou, China
We spoke with Marco Zampolli, IoT Automation product Sales Director from Advantech about trends in modern factory automation concepts.
Today, vision sensors can be used to implement first-class solutions for many sensor tasks in production, quality assurance, logistics, packaging, and beyond. Raw data sensors offer the greatest possible flexibility in terms of adaptation to special requirements and customer wishes. On the customer side, however, this is associated with a comparatively high programming effort. The SmartRunner Explorer 2-D and 3-D device family from Pepperl+Fuchs shows that this does not have to be the case.
Dr. Susanne Krichel, Head of Global Innovation & Advanced Technology, Lapp about cabling and how it helps to drive innovation.
We spoke to Torsten Czech, Head of Marketing at Optris, about the history of more than 20 years of temperature measurement.

Optimized lenses for higher image intensifier efficiency
Configurable without programming skills, the MELSOFT VIXIO AI-powered visual inspection software is revolutionising quality assurance across industries.
As of January 2025, the company will operate in Norway, Sweden and Finland under the name FAULHABER Nordic ApS. The headquarters will be in Allerød, Denmark, north of Copenhagen, where FAULHABER has been operating since mid-2024.
Servo drive series with AI offers ultra-precise automatic tuning to complement expert skills
The Model 207 is the smallest motorised 3x zoom lens with focus tracking commercially available. This high quality f/2.8 lens produces high resolution images suitable for broadcast and machine vision applications.
The Model 357 radiation resistant zoom lens is available in a motorised format for use with radiation tolerant cameras.
Non browning lens for small sensor cameras
From driving a pump to actuating an injector, medical devices that provide patient treatment rely on motion systems. Dependent on the profile of the medication, the environment of use, and the needs of the patient, these devices could be disposable, intended for one-time use, or reusable. This decision directly impacts the motion system specification, so to ensure a smooth development process and quality patient outcome, motion design should be involved at the earliest opportunity.
Versatile Device with storage for up to 1 million measurements
Industrial cameras with Sony's Starvis 2 sensors help unlock the potential of planetary imaging
Standardized Plug System for PROFINET over SPE
Particularly in the field of precision manufacturing, many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier's expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech's real work begins: after a detailed integration consultation, customers receive either individual components, a seamlessly integrated subsystem or a complete automation solution.
Compact linear motor axes meeting the highest dynamics and precision
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.
For reliable wind data, even in harsh offshore and marine weather conditions
The Importance of Accreditation in Machinery Conformity Assessment Activities
A hydrogen-fuelled kiln test rig is helping brick and ceramics manufacturers to support the energy transition. In a first for the UK, a kiln and furnace manufacturer has partnered with flow control specialist Bürkert to manage the precise and reliable control of hydrogen. The result for end users is increased production quality and confidence in the transition to hydrogen, enabling a more sustainable process.
