Last year, a new safety standards for presses EN 289 came into force. Roemheld's magnetic clamping plates come together with a control system that fulfils the strict demands of the standard. Pfalz-based machine builder Wickert used the quick-clamping technology for the first time on a compression press for the production of pharmaceutical stoppers. Their customer was a company in the US, which sometimes produces very small batches under white room conditions. Thanks to the technology, the customer has saved more than two hours’ tooling time at each of the frequent mould changes..

Substituting glass with plastic in lens production brings two principal advantages: significant weight reductions without loss of quality, as well as greater design options. Innovative mould technologies play their part in producing thick-walled parts of this kind at the required speed and in a single operation.

Injection mould makers, fabricators, manufacturers of ceramic semi-manufactured products, toolmakers – they all have one thing in common: shaping products with a certain form and profile. The profile must be measured in the shortest time possible, as accurately as possible, and above all automatically and independent from the human factor

Technical diagnostics is a discipline determining the condition of systems with a given accuracy and in a given moment. It uses statistical methods, volume methods and parameter determination methods to define and recognise the state of a system. This article focuses on modern in-process diagnostics of hydraulic systems.

Stud welding is a well-established procedure in the manufacturing and construction industry all around the world. It is a special welding method suitable for a relatively narrow field of applications, so it is not as well known as other classical welding processes (oxyfuel, MIG/MAG, TIG, manual metal arc welding).
