Building on the vast experience AMETEK Land has in measuring accurate temperature of Aluminium at an extruder, quench or strip mill, the new SPOT AL EQS, Aluminium Extrusion, Quench and Strip, now has all three measurement modes in one digital pyrometer.

Drones may be stopped by technology being tested at U.S. airports. The Big Apple plants gardens to help manage stormwater runoff. And trucks use their waste heat to help power them along roadways.

Your car’s roof rack may be eating into your mileage. Engineers use an accelerated technique to replace a pair of bridges. And watch out Little Mermaid! This humanoid robot is diving for treasure.

There is an increasing trend in the assembly industry: fully automatic assembly is taking a backseat to intelligent manual work stations. Now, manual work stations are flexible and can be adapted to any order situation: during lean times, production can be reduced without problems.

CANNON Instrument Company, a leader in the field of viscosity measurement since 1938, offers a wide range of automated kinematic viscometers to fit every testing need and every budget. One example, the CANNON miniAV®-X automated benchtop viscometer, offers a complete, turn-key solution.

ASCO Numatics provides superior fluid automation solutions for engineers, purchasers and managers at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), skid and panel builders, engineering houses, and leading food and beverage plants worldwide.

Digi-Key Daily previews Honeywell's ABP pressure sensor series. The ABP board-mount sensors measure 60 millibar up to 10 bar with a total error band of +/- 1.5% FSS and +/- 0.25% FSS lifetime stability.

NI VirtualBench is a radically practical approach to instrumentation. By combining five instruments into one device and integrating with PCs and tablets, VirtualBench is simpler, more convenient, and opens up new possibilities for how you can use benchtop test equipment.

A game-changer for product design, engineering and manufacturing processes, Stratasys ground-breaking Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer is the world's first 3D printer to combine colors with multi-material 3D printing.

This webinar showcases Epilog Laser's FiberMark Laser bumper to bumper & marking techniques.

Nature is our best engineer, and the finest robots are the ones that mimic it. Festo, a multinational robotics firm based in Germany, has made some of the most amazing biologically inspired robots out there. In one of our previous posts, "Festo's Extraordinary Robots That Mimic Biology I", you have seen air-penguins and mechanical elephant-arms but these are just few of Festo creations. In these videos, the air-ray, the bionic air-fish, the aqua-jelly, and more are shown. Festo is one of the world leaders in automation, with millions of parts installed in factories all over the globe. Their animal inspired robots are created by the efforts of their Bionic Learning Network. This collection of research groups from academia and industry is part advanced research initiative, part education organization. Festo is a German industrial control and automation company based in Esslingen, Germany. Festo is an engineering driven company that sells pneumatic and electric actuators primarily to the automation industry.
