Industry 4.0 combines production with the latest modern information technology and automation systems. This is based on intelligent, digitally linked systems that connect plant and machinery. KUKA and KEB Automation have developed a solution that demonstrates how this works in practice.

Thomson Industries has expanded its line of stepper motor linear actuators with models featuring built-in anti-rotational guidance.

Applied Motion Products introduces a closed -loop linear actuator that offers greater acceleration rates, shorter move times and higher throughput than conventional step motor-based linear actuators.

The revolution in product transport has arrived, bringing with it a new age in agile manufacturing and enabling true mass customisation for profitable production down to batches of one. ACOPOStrak is the latest innovation from B&R Industrial Automation and has been designed and developed to specifically satisfy the need for adaptive and connected manufacturing.

EAO has introduced a new family of stepper motors that deliver 10 percent higher torque than currently available alternatives but produce 3dB(A) less noise with significantly reduced vibration and heat generation.

Do you have an application involving linear motion? Look no further. Combined Roller Bearings are heavy duty, versatile and cost effective.

Hepco has produced a series of six animations highlighting the major benefits of V Guide technology against ball rail systems.

R. A. Rodriguez celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its founding this year. It is a company that, to this day, remains focused on supplying precision engineering components to UK and European manufacturers but one that has also kept a keen eye on emerging technologies.
