Finding the right fastening solution isn't always straightforward, particularly when you're working with thin materials, restricted access or demanding environments. Available from Zygology, the ProGrip range provides a cost-effective way to install strong, reliable threads in thin-gauge materials, with a variety of designs to suit different applications.

Master Bond Supreme 17HTMed is a one component, toughened epoxy system formulated for bonding and sealing across medical device applications.

Diodela UK is introducing DiodAir, a new air-cooled handheld laser welding range designed to give manufacturers a compact, lightweight option alongside its established water-cooled systems.

Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE) reports that its proprietary Ebflow technology is now routinely delivering rapid, high quality, deep section welds of 250mm nuclear grade steel in a single pass; with the team actively engaged in commercial projects exploring the welding of even thicker steel sections.

OKW is offering size L and XL SMART-CASE handheld enclosures with optional IP 65 ingress protection for challenging indoor and outdoor environments.

UV curable adhesives give significant manufacturing productivity benefits, curing in seconds when exposed to UV light. With grades certified to ISO 10993 and USP Class VI standards, they are well-matched to the manufacture of medical devices. Taking a holistic view across the entire bonding process will allow you to fully realise their potential, as the experts at Intertronics explain.

Work doesn't stay in one place, and neither should your welding screen. The CEPRO Gazelle from Weldability SIF is built for workshops without fixed welding areas, and for jobs that need doing in different areas. Move it by hand, set it up where the work is, and order online in a couple of clicks.

Rail security today means defending against vandalism, tampering, maintenance lapses and cyber threats simultaneously. Access hardware sits at the heart of that challenge. James Stroud, Director of Product Management at Southco, explains how a tiered approach to physical and digital threats is shaping the company's rail security product portfolio.

The Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin, is launching THERM-A-GAP PAD 30RB, a thermally conductive gap filler pad with excellent conformability and rebound characteristics.

Space is at a premium in many automotive applications. As a result, less and less installation space is available for bolted connections. At the same time, however, the requirements for preload forces and the reliability of the connections are increasing. And the lowest possible overall connection costs are also important. A new thread-forming screw for direct metal fastening has been developed by ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK to meet precisely these challenges.
