‘EV Baywatch’: Taking charge in tackling infrastructure challenges

The rapid surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is undoubtedly shaping the future of transport. However, as the world shifts towards greener mobility, a pressing issue persists: the shortage of public charging infrastructure to facilitate it.

Gearbox design slashes downtime and boosts flexibility of converting machine

A collaborative solution developed by Apex Dynamics UK with its customer CA Group has created the additional flexibility needed in the gearbox setup of a converting machine, to prevent parts failure and reduce maintenance downtime dramatically.

From fibre to fabric: Textile selection in conveyor belt manufacturing

Conveyor belts are ubiquitous in modern society, facilitating the efficient movement of goods across various sectors. Yet, what often goes unnoticed is the critical role played by the choice of textiles in determining a conveyor belt's performance and characteristics. Here, Anna Marcol, Marketing Communications Manager of Habasit, discusses the diverse range of fabrics used in manufacturing conveyor belts.

Sustainability challenges: What’s hindering manufacturers’ transition?

Prominent industrial organisations are establishing bold environmental sustainability targets. A study by Schneider Electric and Omdia indicates that over half (57 percent) of top global industrial organisations have committed to carbon-neutrality targets to offset their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with just under half (47 percent) undertaking RE100 commitments.

How can we introduce new ways of maintaining industrial productivity whilst minimising carbon emissions? In this Q&A, David Bowers and Roy Tanner explain how ABB has teamed up with Imperial College London to cultivate a new generation of engineers equipped to drive cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally conscious industrial processes.
Why are there so many types of precision coupling?(04/10/2023)

Where two rotating shafts require a connection, you’ll find a coupling. From large industrial powertrains down to small devices – couplings used across industry are varied in design. Even for the highly precise couplings common in motion control applications, there is a plethora of options. But why are there so many precision couplings? David Lockett, Managing Director at Huco, explains.
