The PBZ is a high-voltage, large-current, fast-response, bipolar power supply. It supports four-quadrant operation, which means that it can source and sink both positive and negative voltages and currents. The internal AC signal or an external signal can be superimposed on the DC output. You can use the sequence feature to generate test signals for automotive and other electronic devices. Additionally, the PBZ can be used with a variety of loads to perform tests such as motor endurance tests, solenoid operation tests and capacitor ripple tests.

TECHSiL provides kitting services which involves picking and packing of different components needed for a specific application as a single product with its own SKU. This service not only makes future ordering simpler, it allows delivery of all components at the same time, reduces the storage space needed, and ultimately streamlines processing times and enhances assembly line efficiency

Boneham's 'KSL' Type Knurled Slotted Locator Bushes feature a diamond knurled OD for setting or casting into composites or soft materials. Like the press fit version, these locator bushes are used with BONEHAM's Alignment Pins. The slotted bush allows for relief in a lateral direction during alignment, whilst maintaining precise tight tolerances in the opposite direction. Used with BONEHAM bushes, slotted bushes create a highly accurate locating and alignment system. The Knurled Slotted Locator Bushes diamond knurled OD is designed to work seamlessly with composite materials. BONEHAM’s Serrated GS bushes and Alignment Pins create a highly accurate alignment system for mouldings. When ordering identify the slot width required for your corresponding pin diameter in the table

L-Pins are used to align location devices in Jigs and Fixtures. They are precise (-0.0005) and quick to remove. The L shaped handle allows for greater grip and removal. The L shape is ideal when working space is restrictive. Alignment pins can be used with a variety of BONEHAM bushes. Press Fit, Serrated or Slotted type bushes would complete and accurate alignment solution. The handle has a 1/8" cross drilled hole to connect the pin to the jig with an optional cable.

LAP industrial line laser are used to show working lines or edges for alignment and positioning. They can be used to display lines where material has to be cut, folded, glued, welded or just positionned. LAP cross laser show working points or right-angled stops. They mark the point where a tool will start working, or an angle for alignment in two directions, like the corner of an object.

A newly developed resin transfer molding (RTM) press from Austrian machinery manufacturer Langzauner installed at the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) will slash process time for large components by a factor of 10. Designed for the fabrication of aero-structural parts, the press will advance the center’s Composites at Speed and Scale (Compass) project by reducing process time for large components from approximately 40 hours to just four hours while maintaining quality standards. AMRC’s Compass is reportedly a major boost to UK aerospace research and development using a new, open-access innovation facility that will initially house Boeing’s research project to de-risk and develop high-rate sustainable structures. The press system features an impressive 10,500 x 3,500 mm platen size and delivers unprecedented precision with fully adjustable pressing force up to 2,400 tons. Powered by AI The system is fully integrated with industrial internet of things (IIoT) capabilities, enabling comprehensive data collection for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in factory-scale process optimization. The system’s features, described as revolutionary, include: Press force regulation accuracy of 0.1%; advanced sliding table system accommodating up to 180-ton mold mass; sophisticated plate parallelism control within hundredths of a millimeter; individual cylinder control with active parallelism management; innovative gap injection functionality with two-axis rotation capability.

Milton Keynes Pressings also have a large sheet metal shop with Fiber laser cutting & brake press forming equipment

Guidance Automation’s technology has been leveraged by state-of-the-art driverless vehicles for indoor warehouse usage for over three decades. The company approached Solsta to help develop a next generation laser guidance system to cut costs and improve resilience. Traditionally, robots have operated on the shop floor using a rotating LiDAR system that sent out a continuous beam – searching for retroreflector target surfaces in known locations, reflecting the signal back towards its source. This approach required a shop visit by the vendor or a surveyor to install reflectors (both initially and whenever the layout was changed), and the robot also needed a second, short-range laser scanner as a safety device. Today, these machines do not need mapped reflectors as the robots can self-map the warehouse without them. Guidance Automation wanted to combine this floorplan-agnostic guidance system laser with a laser capable of detecting all natural features. This would cut costs, improve product resilience and fully futureproof the company against threats from the competition. Guidance Automation lacked the internal resources and sector knowledge to take this optical system concept to the next step, so they turned to trusted partner Solsta whose Special Projects Group developed a range finder based on a pulsed laser and an avalanche photodiode (APD). The combination of these innovations, alongside clever software to pick the signal out of background noise, gives the sensitivity needed to determine the robot’s position against both a floorplan and those moving within it. Material costs for the unit are kept highly competitive. Combined with Solsta’s DFM approach to design which allows quick and efficient assembly at their Weymouth manufacturing plant, this innovative solution has a per-unit price which is lower than competing off-the-shelf solutions with lesser capabilities.
