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.

Cylinders, welders and kit are heavy. Your back shouldn't pay for it. Weldability SIF offers a range of trolleys, barrows, racks and other essentials built to take the knocks and keep your workshop moving.

For over a decade Contrinex has offered exceptional weld-immune inductive sensors that are trusted across the automotive industry and assembly applications. Contrinex has repeatedly expanded its portfolio, to include a variety of choices of sensor sizes, including miniature sensors, plus the option of ACTIVSTONE ceramic coating, and accessories.

JAKOB ANTRIEBSTECHNIK's SC power clamping screw enables you to generate 25 tons of clamping force with only 130 Nm of tightening torque.

Southco reports that InnoTrans was again a great platform for the access hardware manufacturer to do what it does best: showcase how the smallest components on a train - the latches, locks, fasteners and hinges - shape rolling stock safety and reliability as well as enhance travel comfort.

Stanvac electrodes from Weldability SIF are built to meet the needs of both industrial and commercial welding, covering everything from general fabrication to more demanding tasks like stainless steel and hard-facing applications.

Intertronics has launched the IUV301 LED UV Curing Chamber, giving engineers in R&D, process development and production a straightforward way to establish and run controlled, repeatable UV curing processes. The compact enclosed chamber provides adjustable intensity and exposure time, allowing curing conditions to be optimised for the application and reproduced consistently.

The IUV301 Benchtop LED UV Curing Chamber from Intertronics is a compact, portable UV curing chamber. Also known as a UV curing oven, the IUV301 is designed for fast, safe and repeatable curing of UV curable adhesives, coatings, inks and encapsulants wherever you work. It operates from standard mains power and is available with 365 nm, 385 nm or 405 nm LED wavelengths to match the absorption characteristics of your UV curable material.

With the indexing plunger GN81700, Berger Tools is introducing seven new variants with specially shaped tips, available in various materials for different applications.

Rising energy and water costs, tighter environmental requirements, and the shift to chrome-free processes are increasing the pressure on metal processors to make pretreatment more economical. With APNR 2.0 (Adhesion Promoter No Rinse), Henkel is introducing the next evolution of its proven adhesion promoter technology.
