  • NORD Drivesystems at LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart

    NORD’s presentation at LogiMAT will include the new variants of its decentralized NORDAC LINK frequency inverter series.

  • Arburg at Chinaplas 2026: Everything for the Asian market

    The new Allrounder Trend electric machine concept will celebrate its Asian premiere at Chinaplas 2026.

  • Innodisk, RealSense and EverestLabs partner to enable real-time AI sorting for industrial recycling

    The solution combines Innodisk’s APEX-P200 edge AI system, RealSense depth cameras, and EverestLabs’ RecycleOS platform to enable accurate material identification and sorting directly on recycling facility production lines.

  • Formula 1: new sustainability rules are changing the way races are won

    Technologies refined in racing have later appeared elsewhere, from advanced braking and handling systems in road cars to sensor technologies now used in hospitals.

  • Designing connected medical devices? Don’t overlook these cybersecurity risks

    Modern medical devices function as connected nodes within complex clinical networks instead of isolated instruments. A single vulnerability can consequently compromise patient safety, data integrity and institutional trust.

  • Southco introduces R4-50 heavy-duty rotary latch to improve cab access and operator safety

    Designed for off-highway and agricultural equipment, the rotary latch enables independent interior and exterior actuation, reduces vibration and accidental release, and offers flexible integration for cab door systems.

  • IKO LCRB crossed roller bearings dramatically lower weight and size for low- to medium-precision designs

    These roller bearings can have as much as 60% less mass than equivalently sized alternatives, helping designers downsize equipment, maximize operating efficiency and reduce cost.

  • Advanced MES capabilities for scalable, high-quality solar cell and module manufacturing

    This manufacturing execution system is engineered for ingot, wafer and high-volume solar cell and module production.

  • NORD extends IE5+ synchronous motor line with new 112 frame size

    The new SK 112 motor size extends the power of compact IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors to 15.0 hp.

  • Swallowable 3D-printed robot could revolutionize gastrointestinal procedures

    The new capsule robots developed for medical applications can reportedly be swallowed by patients and steered using magnetic fields.

  • Subsea valve performance: Sealing, reliability and operation at extreme depths

    In subsea systems, valve failure can lead to loss of containment, environmental pollution, safety hazards, production stoppages and costly intervention campaigns.

  • New CLC series: Compact open-frame servo drives

    The series includes three sizes with rated currents of 3 A, 6 A and 15 A and is suitable for both stepper motors and BLDC motors.

  • Solving multimodal medical device design challenges

    Unlike single-purpose devices, multimodal platforms require a design capable of managing disparate hardware requirements for signal acquisition while ensuring all data is successfully funneled to a central processing unit for aggregation.

  • Video: Ready for Waymo? Here’s a first-hand ride in an AV taxi

    Regular GS contributor Tyler Gleckler videos his own experience getting around Phoenix in a Waymo, one of the world's first commerical robo-taxi services.

  • The road to vehicle durability test and analysis process optimization

    This unified approach to durability testing and simulation was implemented by automaker Renault.

  • Lock it or lose it: Manufacturing tech to soften the shakes

    While still a popular thread-freezing solution today, lock nuts are no longer the de facto choice when working with fasteners on high-vibration systems.

  • The printer for the smallest details

    Motors, encoders and other components from FAULHABER propel this printer to yield objects visible only under a scanning electron microscope.

  • X-365 Precision XY Gantry System offers configurable, affordable motion for high-throughput, high-accuracy applications

    The modular, high-performance gantry platform combines large travel ranges with nanometer sensor resolution.

  • When things have to be done quickly

    Discover how these rail brakes support fast roller changes in laminating units.

  • Fictiv releases 11th Annual State of Manufacturing & Supply Chain Report

    Research shows artificial intelligence (AI), digital platforms and regional resilience are reshaping manufacturing and supply chain leadership.
