In adhesive bonding for medical device manufacture, process validation is a fundamental risk mitigation strategy. Medical device adhesives expert Intertronics has released a new white paper to demonstrate the need for robust bonding process validation in medical devices. Process Validation in Medical Device Bonding: Controlling Variables will help medical device manufacturers minimise or eliminate process variables, ensure ISO/FDA compliance, and improve reliability.

Composite panel manufacturer Gilcrest has transitioned to Chemique's Solfre polyurethane adhesive, resulting in a more efficient production process and reduced operational costs.

Standard linking elements often reach their limits in modern engineering - for example when special geometries, exact distances or specific materials are required. This is precisely where mbo Osswald's new sleeve nuts configurator comes in.

Accu has supported robotics start-up KAIKAKU with the development of Fusion, a modular robotic food assembly line designed and built in London. Now running daily at KAIKAKU's flagship site, Common Room in London's Brunswick Centre, Fusion is transforming how fresh, made-to-order meals are prepared in quick-service restaurants.

LOCTITE has announced the launch of a new portfolio of adhesive solutions designed to meet the growing needs of the e-Mobility repair sector.

Essentra Components has launched a new range of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) fasteners, offering exceptional levels of chemical resistance, thermal stability and mechanical properties for extreme environments.

To help device manufacturers understand what defines a medical adhesive and how to specify one for their application, Intertronics has released a new white paper: 'What is a medical adhesive? Key properties, use cases, and regulatory considerations'.

LOCTITE has launched a new range of flexible and rigid LED-curable adhesives - including LOCTITE AA 3951 / AA 3953 and LOCTITE AA 3961 / AA 3963 - developed to meet the stringent demands of modern medical device assembly.

Accu has demonstrated its commitment to STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) by sponsoring three successful student teams, in the Race2Space Rocketry competition, a national propulsion competition and education initiative designed to boost the UK space sector.

Patrick Faulkner, Lead Engineer at Accu, looks at the different types of screw tips and how their design influences installation.
