ETES Presents Scottish Manufacturing Event

European Trade and Exhibition Services (ETES) has announced Manufacturing Technology Scotland, an event demonstrating the latest in manufacturing, assembly and industrial sub-contracting. Located at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC), Glasgow, the show will provide a showcase for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing expertise.

On 11 and 12 November, around 150 of Scotland's leading manufacturing enterprises will be exhibiting a broad range of products, technologies and services geared to the needs of the Scottish manufacturing industry. Around 10 per cent of the UK's aviation industry is based in Scotland, and the region is home to a large number of high-tech manufacturers and sub-contractors dealing with defence, oil and gas and pharma-bio.

Electronics assembly accounts for nearly half of Scotland's manufacturing output, with nearly a third of the EU's computers and notebooks made there every year. Alongside major machinery and tool suppliers such as Haas Automation, Sanfan and Jemma Tools Group, will be sub-contractors and fabricators, suppliers of electronics sub-assembly and components, rapid prototyping services and many more. Technology Trails guide the visitor to the companies active within their particular interest.

The show's website provides a full database of exhibitors listed by activity to allow visitors to plan ahead. There is also a dedicated group for the show on the business networking site Linked-In, which allows visitors to meet and interact with exhibitors before the show opens. Visitors will also be able to see a full two-day programme of free technical seminars covering a wide range of topics.

Highlights include how to identify, protect and make money from IP, how lean manufacturing can help an organisation to survive and prosper, the future of Six Sigma, new materials and processes, and how to access the aerospace, defence and marine sectors. All the sessions are hosted by acknowledged experts and are designed to provide practical guidance for businesses. Manufacturing Technology Scotland opens on November 11 from 09:00 until 17:00, and on 12 November from 09:00 until 16:30. Entry to the exhibition and the seminars is free.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
