“I think it is important to feel free to speak fearlessly in front of a group”, TMC’s Employeneur Mark Robinson says. “During one of my first presentation skill training sessions, a woman broke down crying while giving her presentation. By the end of the day she was confidently speaking in front of the group. This was a breakthrough moment which highlighted exactly why I’m doing this: to empower people to get their ideas across clearly to groups and, in so doing, to fill them with self-confidence.” Although Mark has just started his company ‘Mark Robinson Training’, his talent of making people more confident in their presentation skills has been gathering a lot of attention.

Laser processing, electronics production, optical inspection, and many more automation solutions require dynamic, precise and at the same time reliable positioning systems that can be easily integrated into machines. PI (Physik Instrumente) has therefore extended its product portfolio for industrial positioning solutions with the L-412 and L-417 linear stages.

Fandis introduceerde eind mei op de SPS in Italië de ‘Sensis’. Een compact instrument dat in besturingskasten de temperatuur en relatieve vochtigheid meet. Hiermee kan de operator de thermische- en klimaatcondities monitoren die weer een indicatie vormen voor de werking van het aanwezige ventilatie- en/of verwarmingssysteem. De waarden worden weergegeven op een overzichtelijke display én via ProfiNet, Modbus RTU of Ethernet/IP verzonden en bewaard voor latere analyse.

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence heeft vandaag qFLASH-A aangekondigd: een voordelig en compact optisch 3D-meetsysteem dat speciaal is ontwikkeld voor kleinere inspectieruimten op de werkvloer. De robuuste taster omvat CMOS-gebaseerde, digitale beeldvormingstechnologie en blauwe ledverlichting in een lichtgewicht behuizing. De taster is uitermate geschikt voor gebruik met kleine robotsystemen of hulp-robotsystemen. Hierdoor ontstaat een snelle inspectieoplossing met een kleine vormgeving en een voordelige prijs.

A wide variety of types of threads are used on components like fittings, filters, valves, manifolds, connectors, quick couplings, purifiers, regulators and instrumentation. When choosing the right components for your application it is essential to order the right type of thread and think of the compatibility of the connection made.
