Externally invisible locking is offered by the new EMKA ePush-Lock, meeting the need for a comfortable non-handle locking system. This flat design style of internal locking handle is the trend for mobile homes and many other applications where it is advantageous to disguise opening panels.

Indicators were the basis of Elesa in the UK with the transition of Clayton Instruments to Elesa Clayton and then Elesa UK. The original analogue instruments – whose derivatives are still available – were high quality, craftsman-engineered for the many industries using rollers in their processing machinery. Accuracy of these machines was – and still is – of the highest importance, where very thin material sheets of paper, fabric, metal, plastic etc. are concerned.

Purex, which can boast over 30 years of supplying fume extraction systems unlike any other in the industry, has adorned its new production facility in Brough near Hull with a new TRUMPF TruLaser 2030 fiber 4kW laser cutter (with BrightLine technology) and two TRUMPF TruBend 3066 bending machines. The major investment came about after the company decided to rethink its previous outsourcing strategy for stainless steel enclosures and bring fabrication in-house.

From some of the simplest and most commonly available fasteners such as the humble machine screw to the more specialised and often heavily customised bolt Challenge Europe can help in all formats. Threaded fasteners are perhaps uniquely adaptable since designs can readily be adjusted to suit many diverse applications requiring non-standard lengths, intermediate diameters as well as alternatives to the generally available materials of steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and nylon.

Whether a prototyping platform or a production manufacturing station – standard machine elements from Elesa underpin and enable a great deal of equipment delivering advanced engineering solutions to industries as various as medical devices, aero engineering, composite manufacturing, automotive, advanced metal manufacturing and Industry 4.0.

While many installations of sealing gasket profiles fit the pattern of a common design, e.g. enclosure door seals, we can readily see from a quick glance at typical applications that often new sections are needed to fit new equipment designs. While being generally of a common concept, e.g. a “P” profile form, the detail design and execution required to perform correctly in-situ may be significantly different from a standard production item. Custom-made products include: frames, rings, lengths, butyl, mastic, flock coating, notching, gluing, slip coating etc.

Newbury Electronics continues to go from strength to strength with recent investments in both staff and facilities. The company has appointed Francesca Stockwell, in the new role of Business Development Manager. Francesca has over 10 years' experience in the electronics sector in a variety of sales and business development roles.

A leading specialist in the design and manufacture of one-off and low-volume parts has installed three high-specification machines from TRUMPF, including a five-axis TruLaser Cell 7020 fiber. Birmingham Prototypes Ltd (BPL) has located all three machines at its new 20,000 sq ft facility in Birmingham, where they are helping the company keep pace with an expanding order book for sectors such as automotive and aerospace.

New PINET 30mm aluminium hinges from FDB Panel Fittings are for use as pairs or together with a matching friction, detent or spring hinge to modify door opening characteristics. Construction is in clear or black anodized aluminium with robust plastic hinge pin to resist corrosion.

The matching soft-close hinge offers controlled closure in three configurations with two different torque damping settings, making them suitable for many types of enclosure, cabinet and cupboard from factory floor to domestic furniture.

Challenge Europe are pleased to announce that they stock a number of basic types of construction floor anchor including the Shield Anchor and the Throughbolt designs, both of which work on a similar principle of an expanding sleeve for fixing into concrete flooring. They are also known as wedge anchor bolts and are available in carbon steel, zinc plated and hot dipped galvanised, also in stainless steel.

As a worldwide manufacturer/distributor, Elesa have rather shorter lines of communication with their customers than might otherwise be the case – a situation which allows them to focus their manufacturing expertise on rapid response and highly detailed product designs.

Elesa are delighted to share the results of this in the provision of their Ergostyle® brand, coupled with the elecolors™ program.
