Push buttons, the essential tool used within machines to control various actions. When using pushbuttons, you can follow the IEC/EN 6024-1:2006+A1:2009 Safety of Machinery standard, if applicable. The standard outlines which types and colours of push buttons you should use and for what application.
Has your electric motor failed? Ensuring that your motor is operational is critical to businesses. All electric motors have a predetermined life-span. Usually, this is around 30,000 to 40,000 hours. This is highly dependant on proper maintenance and care.
Pneumatics and compressed air technology sounds complicated, but you’d be surprised how often you meet pneumatics in everyday life. You’ll probably have seen all sorts of equipment powered by compressed air, without even being aware of it.
Maritime security refers to the security measures taken to protect vessels crossing vast distances in the ocean – whether it’s securing cargo, military operations or transport.
The first showcase of advanced mixed palletizing solution at ProMat 2025 illustrates the combined power of 3D vision and AI-driven robotics, delivering unprecedented efficiency, scalability, and cost savings for warehouses and distribution centers.

This technical article examines the mechanical engineering principles of CoWoS Packaging Technology, its mechanism, control systems, and performance metrics that define this cutting-edge technology!
Industrial pneumatic systems rely on two important parameters when specifying pipes and hoses: pressure and flow. Both of these are directly related to pipe diameter, and a number of complex equations have been worked out for calculating the relationship between them.
Valves are crucial to many industrial applications. They control, direct and regulate the flow of various substances through a network of passages by opening, closing or partially blocking these pathways. You’ll find valves in most industrial sectors, handling different types of gases and fluids.
Factory automation is rapidly transforming industries worldwide, marking a new era of efficiency, precision, and innovation. As we advance deeper into Industry 4.0, the integration of advanced automation technologies has become a cornerstone of modern manufacturing.
Associate Professor Luca Carlone is working to give robots a more human-like awareness of their environment.
Valve standards fall into three main categories depending on whether they are established by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the American Petroleum Institute (API) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Although many of us are still getting to grips with Industry 4.0 – or the Fourth Industrial Revolution – a new term is already appearing. Industry 5.0 isn’t introducing any radical new form of technology, as happened in previous industrial revolutions.
Currently, there are no official standards that regulate immunity for industrial equipment. Therefore, we built an immunity evaluation environment with reference to the IEC61000-6-2 common standard for industrial environments.
