  • Laser Photonics’ CleanTech removes corrosion from oil and gas pipes

    Using CleanTech systems, operators can avoid corrosion and rust with an eco-friendly, time-effective and energy-efficient method of cleaning.

  • Orbex Group offers new compact wheel drives for advanced mobile robots

    These integrated motor, gearbox, encoder and wheel combination units are designed to facilitate easy application in compact robotic applications.

  • Solutions for transformer protection

    Transformers are protected electrically by sensing the frequency, current and voltage that flow through them, and mechanically by sensing winding temperature and other parameters.

  • Efficient lithium extraction from geothermal sources

    A separation solution devised at Rice University reduces the challenges encountered in lithium harvesting operations.

  • A no-brainer solution for compact cooling applications
