Modular controller with KNX integration
TodayWith the Catan C1, Phoenix Contact is presenting a controller for building automation that combines open architecture, modular extendibility, and interoperability. As part of the product family of the same name, the Catan C1 has been designed for durability, maintainability, and reuse.
Energy-efficient, low-contamination components
TodayMore efficiency and more process stability are two requirements that play a decisive role in the complex battery cell production process. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supports the industry with tailor-made drive solutions with which manufacturers can have their total cost of ownership under control. This includes energy-efficient low-contamination components.
AI and automation: Debunking the 5 most common myths
1 day agoJust as fears about robots have been allayed, the key to building trust in AI is similarly rooted in education, information and transparency. Here, the experts at FANUC debunk some of the most common myths surrounding AI and automation.
The training that keeps machine building teams prepared for safety risks
1 day agoMachine building brings engineering, build activity, commissioning, and production support into one connected project lifecycle. A machine may be guarded correctly on paper, yet the real safety challenge appears during integration and commissioning work. This is where an OSHA compliance course becomes relevant because it gives machine-building teams a shared basis for recognising workplace hazards before equipment moves from build phase to operational use. That foundation matters because automation projects place people close to energy sources, moving parts, and changing work conditions.

The crucial role of custom gearboxes in specialised machinery
7 days agoAs machinery becomes more advanced, standard components, especially gearboxes, often fall short. Overcoming this challenge demands custom solutions, engineered to meet precise performance needs. Here, Dave Walsha, Sales Director at custom precision gearbox manufacturer Electro Mechanical Systems, explains how custom gearboxes are engineered to support and enhance specialised machinery design and function.
European Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 is replacing Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Technically, it has already come into force but there is a transition period during which machinery is still being CE marked to the old Directive.
