For over 50 years, Mechan Controls has been at the forefront of machine guard safety products, designing and manufacturing high-quality solutions that protect people and productivity in the most demanding industrial settings.

EMS has broadened its offering with the expansion of Buhler's modular bMotion drive platform. The platform now includes new 40 millimetre (mm) and 51 mm motor sizes, in addition to the existing 63 mm offering. This expanded range gives design engineers even more freedom to configure motion systems precisely suited to their applications. You can find out more at MachineBuilding.Live.

Total Automated Solutions announces the launch of the TASK.1 IIoT Portal - a powerful, cloud-based platform set to transform how businesses monitor, manage and maintain industrial assets.

Stainless steel remains one of the most trusted materials in industrial design, and for good reason. Known as INOX, it combines strength, resistance to corrosion, and hygiene in a way that makes it indispensable across sectors where performance can't be compromised.

The SKW-KP safety coupling, from Jakob Antriebstechnik, for direct drives is a flexible and backlash-free overload coupling that combines a metal bellows coupling attachment with a safety coupling. As a result, the coupling offers both protection against overload or collisions and the compensation of misalignments.

SICK has launched the new OD200, a compact laser distance sensor for measuring short ranges that sets new standards in this sensor class with its outstanding stability on highly reflective, dark and irregular surfaces. It delivers high performance and productivity even in complex and demanding applications, such as shiny metal and plastic parts and in poor lighting conditions, to reduce errors and minimise costly rework.

Lenze announces the launch of the i650 motec, the latest addition to its decentralised frequency inverter portfolio. Designed for next-level performance, Lenze says the i650 motec sets a new benchmark in energy efficiency, digital readiness, and ease of use - empowering machine builders to design smarter, greener systems with unprecedented simplicity.

Baumer has introduced what is claimed to be the smallest time-of-flight (ToF) sensor specifically developed for applications with limited installation space. The new versatile and reliable OT200 ToF sensor measures only 8 x 25.1 x 5.8mm and is designed to deliver outstanding performance - even in the most space-restricted and challenging conditions.

The increase in scale and complexity of ASRS present a range of technical and operational challenges when selecting and integrating the right interlocking solutions, as the experts at Fortress Safety explain.
