Linear motion technology is one of the backbones of machine operation, responsible for positioning, pushing, pulling and lifting. And you'll find a multitude of linear motion systems and solutions on show at MachineBuilding.South on 8 July at Sandown Park.

HMS Networks has released its annual analysis of the industrial network market, marking twelve consecutive years of tracking how factories and machine builders connect their automation systems.

Automate UK has announced a pioneering partnership with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO) to create new guidance on how collaborative robots can safely work alongside humans.

Power transmission components such as couplings are a vital element of any machine build, transmitting torque and power between rotating shafts. And you'll be able to see a host of shaft couplings and talk to the suppliers at MachineBuilding.South on 8 July at Sandown Park.

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), has launched a new Robot Experience Centre (REC) designed to help UK manufacturers accelerate the adoption of robotics and automation technologies.

In just three weeks, engineers, machine builders, systems integrators and automation specialists will gather at Sandown Park for the inaugural MachineBuilding.South - the newest edition of the MachineBuilding Event Series.

As a specialist event dedicated exclusively to the UK's machine building community, MachineBuilding.South is the ideal platform to see all the latest innovations and advances in machine building and automation technologies, with pneumatics being a prime example.

UK manufacturers continue to face increasing pressure from rising costs, skills shortages and the need to improve operational efficiency. Many businesses have already introduced automation into their operations, but modern manufacturing is moving beyond standalone automated systems, say the experts at Innomech.

A key strength of MachineBuilding.South is the platform it provides to discover, discuss, evaluate and compare products from a host of different suppliers. Sensors is one of those technologies, so what exciting products can you expect to find?
