How to use Gherkin in Robot Framework

Robot Framework is a popular Python-based testing tool maintained by the community and available free of charge. This gives it a great price/performance ratio. Its syntax is based on keywords. But can Robot Framework handle BDD and Gherkin? Let’s take a closer look. Read more

Kunststoffen en de defensie-industrie

De defensie-industrie is terug van weggeweest. Helaas niet dankzij positieve ontwikkelingen in de wereld. Maar het besef dat afschrikking werkt, heeft ertoe geleid dat overheden — die eerder wellicht op het naïeve af hun defensiecapaciteit afbouwden — anno 2025 weer volop investeren in defensie. En dat is om meerdere redenen positief. Niet alleen draagt het bij…

eXtreme Fast Control (XFC) and EtherCAT in semiconductor manufacturing

Electronic components and their structures are becoming smaller and smaller, making it all the more difficult to bond them. Conventional processes have long since reached the limits of what they can do in this area, but the Impulse PrintingTM process developed by Dutch start-up Fonontech is bringing something new. It enables advanced packaging of semiconductors in 3D structures in the micrometer…

Plug-and-play SCARA robots join B&R Codian lineup

With the new Codian SR, B&R adds SCARA kinematics to its Codian portfolio of open robot mechanics and integrated Machine-Centric Robotics solutions.

Powder Load Tool (PLT)

We recognise the critical nature of the metal powder in our systems from a quality and safety perspective,which is why the MetalFab is designed to minimise the exposure of powder particles to oxygen, moisture and human contact. The Powder Load Tool (PLT) can be filled with metal powder directly at the atomization source under inert conditions and…
