Modern vandalism presents a tangible problem for law enforcement agencies and companies. Georg Huebner reports 
Do not let limited thinking limit your productivity. This is a guideline every machinist designing the set-ups should adapt because it is often the machinists imagination that will be setting the limits in this designing process.
The renewable energy technologies available today are increasingly replacing conventional systems. Above all, they are experiencing a boom. For suppliers of alternative technologies, such as photovoltaic, solar, thermal and wind energy plants, the future is looking good.
An engineer’s choice of fastener for a particular application is normally driven by factors such as function, purchase cost and installation cost. In some cases there are also standards that must be adhered to, and aesthetics may need to be considered.
Rino Industries Ltd, as Gerwah GmbH’s UK distributor, is launching of a new product line called Smart Lock Set.
Through its design, Spiralock thread form is resistant to thread loosening and stripping, caused by transverse vibration. By elimination of secondary locking devices (eg, anerobics, washers, etc), ease of assembly, reusability and dependability result, with reduced overall joint costs.
Spiral Retaining Rings can operate in an internal and an external groove at the same time.
During the past decade it has become extremely important to optimise all aspects of product design. Competition is tougher than ever and steel costs have skyrocketed. For economic reasons each component must be utilised to its maximum capacity. Robin Isacsson reports.
Christina Barg-Becker looks at how a new range of adhesive tapes can be used to provide energy-saving solutions for use in buildings.
If a product has to be disassembled for maintenance, repair or end-of-life disposal there are clearly advantages in having fasteners that can disassemble themselves automatically.
Legislation, regulations and corporate social responsibility mean that designers have to reconsider how they design assemblies and what fastener specifications they choose to use. Alistair Rae looks at some of the options.
The cable carriers market today is dominated by plastic cable carriers. However, plastic chains reach their limits when the mechanical or thermal loads get too large.
Consistent seals are essential to electromechanical component performance. Unfortunately, seal consistency can be difficult to design because much of sealant dispensing includes variables beyond a designer’s control.
Christina Barg-Becker reports on a one-sided, non-woven adhesive tape which can be used not only to mount, or fix, flat and round cables, it can also protect them.
