Built around 1920 for a coal washing plant, this stationary steam engine by W.C. Holmes & Co. weighs approximately half a ton.

Thanks to our partner Machine Building Systems Ltd, UK for sending us a video of their spectacular exhibit.

The system combines item Line 12 profiles for the frame and Line 8 profiles with D25 Bearing Units, together with an R50 timing belt drive, to move and position the half-ton machine precisely.

The system moves from left to right on a simple timer. When the steam engine returns to its starting position, the valves direct air into the engine, causing it to rotate.

The most successful material handling systems are not defined by conveyor speed, but by how effectively they manage release, separation and buffering.

One interesting approach is the use of chained release units:
• One unit: Holding SLCs in a queue and releasing them via a digital signal
• Two units: Additional separation and selective release
• Three units: Additional reduction of back pressure

The Release Unit DIN/DOUT 24V 🔗 https://i24.ws/73357 is one example of how this can be easily implemented, with parameterization via a web interface on any WLAN-enabled device.

❓ What is your experience: In automated material flow systems, where do you see the biggest bottleneck today: speed, control or accumulation?

Imagine developing your very own sounding rocket, complete with propulsion system, test bench and test infrastructure! 🚀

That’s exactly the challenge the RAPID team at TU Darmstadt Space Technology e. V. (TUDSaT) has set itself. The students develop their rockets completely by themselves – and gain practical experience that they wouldn’t get in any lecture theatre.

Read our latest blog post to find out:

👉 How a hybrid propulsion system that uses wax and nitrous oxide works
👉 Why a test bench is an absolute must during the development stage
👉 How our modular profile technology provides support for tests and further developments

With the item 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, you can quickly check deflection and bending stress for a wide range of profile variants and load cases.

Simply define the force application, enter the load and length, and get instant feedback on how your profile behaves under load.

with IO-Link or DIN/AIN 🟢🟡🔴

Want to visualize the fill level of a tank? The LED strip is mounted at an elevated position in the workshop for good visibility. Green means that everything is OK. Yellow is the signal for prompt action, red for an immediate response. This ensures that everyone involved is informed at an early stage.

Our Controller makes such solutions easier than ever before: a basic technical understanding is all you need. Commissioning and parameterization are as uncomplicated as with a smart home application. 💪

⚠️ 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! Sometimes it's worth taking a look through the archives. 👀

We recently rediscovered this little gem: a chain reaction built using the item Lean Production Building Kit and further components during a Karakuri training session.

Behind this chain reaction lies a lot of ingenuity, teamwork, and lean thinking.

The company attaches great importance to top-quality manufacture and careful repair and maintenance of its own products. Making sure all applicable guidelines are followed calls for well-trained, qualified specialists, who need to be able to carry out their work with precision and focus, while also complying with all regulatory requirements. Ergonomically designed work benches play a key role in this. 💡

They provide:

✅ dynamic sitting & regular alternation between sitting and standing
✅ an effective and ergonomic handling area
✅ optimum lighting, adapted to (fine motor) taks and individual eyesight of the employee
✅ ESD protection

Before new solutions from the item Building Kit System are launched on the market, we test them intensively in-house - including our synchronized multiple conveyors.

Whether with belt or timing belt conveyors, direct or center drive, with accumulating or non-accumulating belt: we check exactly under which conditions slippage occurs or when the load on the system is too high.

Based on these tests, we can specify reliable load limits - and thus guarantee the function. We tested the multiple conveyor with up to six synchronized conveyors. Transport weights of up to 100 kg are possible.
