FDB Online announces a large format surface-mount slam latch set, purpose designed by Weston Body Hardware. It offers an inside safety release which is widely required for large-size insulated enclosures, such as cold stores or containerised units, where a surface-mounted latch is preferable to avoid breaching the thermal integrity of the door.

Why make things difficult when they can be simple? With EMKA's new 125 degree clip-in hinge, available in various materials, doors and flaps can be easily attached to and detached from the frame. The internal hinge for surface-mounted doors is suitable for classic industrial applications and for special vehicle construction or rail vehicles.

The MCA and MCG power clamping nuts from JAKOB Antriebstechnik are well-tried clamping devices in production. Up to now, the required nominal clamping force was precisely set by the user using a torque wrench. This is a sensible method for varying clamping forces, as the clamping nut can be used flexibly. However, if the same, constant nominal clamping force is always applied, time can now be saved and safety increased.

Rencol Components, a leading manufacturer of high-quality industrial hardware solutions, has published a new expert guide titled "Cam Locks: A Technical Guide for Design Engineers and Product Specifiers".

Renate Fofana, Head of Industrial at Lohmann, reflects on industry trends, Lohmann's innovation strategy, and the future of sustainable bonding.

Do you have critical joints in your operations where undetected loosening could risk safety, cause unplanned downtime, or drive up maintenance costs? Intelligent Bolts from Staytite deliver real-time load data and remote monitoring, transforming safety and maintenance across critical industries.

Machine vision combined with artificial intelligence makes it possible to automatically inspect welded connections in body shells and identify anomalies. Spanish automation specialist DGH has developed such an application for the automotive industry, using MVTec's HALCON software and Deep Learning Tool.

FDB says the process of specifying a lock mechanism it is often an undervalued task where the selection of the correct camto match the depth of door frame can be crucial to correct performance of the enclosure and achievement of the required IP degree of protection.

As the race for the best AI technology heats up, manufacturers are turning to liquid immersion cooling to stabilise the servers of the future. While this technology provides far superior cooling properties compared to traditional fans, it also brings a new set of challenges, particularly around maintenance. Server blades are packed extremely tightly in a small space and immersed in liquid coolant, which can make it difficult to remove a single blade for service. That is why Southco is introducing the RA Rack Attach.

Southco has launched the new T6 Friction Hinge, a cost-effective access hardware solution that helps designers remove play from their panels without breaking their budget.
