The fastest welding for the fastest trains

The fastest welding for the fastest trains

The installation and commissioning of a 30x4m gantry 'Powerstir' Friction Stir Welder (FSW) by UK-based PTG Heavy Industries - in a joint project with the China Friction Stir Welding Centre - didn't just represent a first for China and for PTG. The Powerstir machine also played its part in a world first, being used in the manufacture of railway car bodies similar to those used in China's record-breaking 'Harmony' high-speed train. In producing the railway car bodies, another record was also broken, with the PTG Powerstir machine producing the longest-ever single FSW railway panel weld in China, at over 15m in length.

An aid to boosting food process efficiency

An aid to boosting food process efficiency

Igus UK has introduced new knife edge roller bearings that enable manufacturers in the food and beverage industry to increase process efficiencies. The iglidur tribo plastic bearings are reliable, and lubrication-free, and as a result, offer excellent performance in conveyor systems. Igus knife edge rollers have been developed to the specific demands of the food and beverage industry, such as operating temperature and FDA-conformity. As the knife edge rollers are manu-factured from Igus' high quality and wear-resistant iglidur plastic materials they are free from lubrication, therefore requiring no maintenance, and offer a high life time and long service life of the conveyor belt.
