Lee Spring at FAST Exhibition 2017

Like the organisers at FAST, Lee Spring believe that you can't beat face-to-face discussions to solve a design engineering, production engineering or supply problem, and their personnel look forward to discussing with design, production, installation and maintenance engineers just how the Lee Spring range of ex-stock, same day dispatch, springs and custom capability can help to solve industrial engineering problems. This specialist application advice is readily available to visitors who will be able to review their ranges of compression springs, extension springs, plastic, Redux, Die and torsion springs.

Festo's new bionic robot concepts are inspired by nature

Festo has unveiled three new lightweight robotic concepts for handling with pneumatics, working in collaboration with humans. While the BionicCobot is inspired by the natural movement of the human arm, the BionicMotionRobot is inspired by the way elephant trunks or octopus tentacles move, and the way they wrap around objects was the inspiration behind the OctopusGripper. All three projects show what hazard-free, direct human-robot collaboration could look like in future and are among the future-oriented concepts that Festo's Bionic Learning Network is showcasing at the Hannover Messe 2017 trade fair.
