From day one to 40,000 hours, Atlas Copco's electric E-Air H250 VSD compressor has delivered reliable performance in an Australian heavy machinery manufacturer's assembly operations.

For drone lightshow manufacturer, Starbound Labs, a bonding problem at the prototyping stage threatened to block progress towards CAA approval in the UK. Drawing on adhesives specialist Intertronics' expertise, the manufacturer selected a suitable bonding solution and identified wider design improvements that took months off development and testing time, and accelerated its progress to certification.

French company AKEOPLUS has developed a robot cell that automates the application of a two-component sealant to painted large metal parts. Using the MVTec HALCON machine vision software, the system detects the position of the component, calculates the necessary corrections, and thus enables precise sealant application with an accuracy of +/-0.2 mm, across a large working area.

Bollhoff is supporting the EFORCE Prague Formula team from the Czech Technical University (CVUT) in Prague in the development of the CTU.26 autonomous electric single-seater. ONSERT and RIVKLE technologies contribute to the precise and efficient handling of composite parts and the assembly of selected vehicle components.

A top and bottom case gluer machine, designed and engineered by Endoline Automation, is assisting a global confectionery manufacturing facility in Australia to meet their sustainability targets. Simultaneously, this stronger, more durable packaging solution has doubled packing efficiency for the confectioner.

Machine vision offers a wide range of opportunities to support automation. An exciting use case in which the technology delivers significant added value can be found at the Swiss company Endress+Hauser, with machine vision software from MVTec.

Lightweight UAV sandwich structures offer exceptional strength-to-weight performance. But they leave almost no margin for error when it comes to fastening. When a manufacturer found that even a small tightening force could crush the core, and a relatively small loading across a small area could disbond the skins, it turned to bigHead for a solution.

Southco has partnered with a global leader in new energy technology to co-develop a customised multi-point latching system for energy storage applications. Rather than solving problems for a single company, the collaboration targets industry-wide safety, reliability, and operational challenges in the global energy storage sector.

Boston's Green Line -a historic railway in one of America's most historic cities - is getting futuristic "supercars". And they're made with a high number of Nord-Lock's wedge-locking washers.

A fleet of innovative autonomous vessels has rapidly accelerated deployment time thanks to the implementation of the Expander System from Nord-Lock. Designed for critical applications ranging from seabed surveys to supporting NATO navies, ZeroUSV's uncrewed surface vessel Oceanus12 leverages the Expander System to reduce downtime and enhance portability for global deployment.
