In data centres, reliability issues stemming from insufficient mechanical tolerances at the connection points of liquid cooling systems are becoming a critical bottleneck for energy efficiency upgrades and stable operation. Southco recognises the severity of this challenge and is committed to providing breakthrough solutions.

When should you choose a 1-part epoxy over a 2-part epoxy, and vice versa? The experts at Permabond look at the differences between these two popular types of adhesives.

Elesa has expanded its stainless-steel toggle and fastening clamp range with new variants across the MTD, MOD and MFB series, broadening its offer for industrial applications that demand secure holding, repeatable clamping force, and dependable mechanical performance.

With an eye on the future, Hoenle Adhesives (formerly known as Panacol), has introduced a selection of advanced UV adhesives for medical device assembly, which are ECHA compliant under the most current REACH regulation.

Permabond has released TA4550, a two-part structural acrylic designed to bond nylon without the need for surface treatment. TA4550 bonds many types of nylon well, including PA6, 6.6 and 12. It cures rapidly at room temperature and its thixotropy means it doesn't slump or sag post-application, instead staying firmly in place.

Master Bond Supreme 10HTLV is a one part, non-frozen, heat cured epoxy formulated for demanding structural bonding applications. This toughened system features a moderately high viscosity with good flow, which will not thicken over time.

When it comes to manufacturing, speed is everything. Slow processes and human error can grind production lines to a halt and cause major problems across the manufacturing process. But equipment like the Auto-Q automatic rivet feeding system from Qonnect, and available from Zygology, is changing this.

As we head into 2026, you might be reflecting on the past twelve months and thinking about what the new year may bring. The experts at Staytite consider some of the key issues for the year ahead.

As global supply chains place increasing emphasis on tighter tolerances, shorter lead times and greater product variability, the limitations of manual welding methods are becoming more pronounced. For manufacturers striving to meet these evolving demands without sacrificing infrastructure or flexibility, robotic retrofitting offers a technically robust pathway to automation. In this article, as Hakan Aydogdu, CEO at Tezmaksan Robotic Technologies, explains.

Fronius is continuing to redefine precision in robot-assisted welding with further improvements to its patented WireSense assistance system.
