SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS 2016 PREVIEW LIGHTWEIGHT, MAINTENANCE-FREE SOLUTIONS
igus will be showcasing several new cable and bearing products. Dedicated to meeting the growing needs of manufacturers and engineers igus offers a wide range of cost effective, lightweight and maintenance-free solutions for a variety of applications. One key highlight will be the new drylin
W linear guide system constructed entirely of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). Ideal for applications across the aerospace, automotive and medical industries the system is up to 60% lighter than a traditional steel rail system and 40% less compared with the ‘light’ alternative: an aluminium rail. This system is available for travel lengths of up to 2 metres, allowing designers to develop a more cost-effective solution. “This CFRP linear system is ideal for
applications where weight may constitute money or where high dynamic movements are important, such as robots for manufacturing,” says director Rob Dumayne. “In addition, the carbon drylin rail is available as a completely metal-free belt drive system which integrates plastic pulleys and xiros plastic ball bearings so these systems can be used without restrictions within X-ray equipment.” An additional highlight will be the
readychain speed 2.0 offering. While looking for a solution to reduce the amount of cable needed for a customer igus developed readychain, a pre- harnessed energy chain with integrated attachment designed for fast swapping. As with the whole readychain service the manufacturer only needs to determine exactly what is required and igus will supply the energy chain fully assembled and ready to fit. igus will showcase its wear-resistant and maintenance-free tribotape materials along with the new xiros ball bearings material S180. Throughout the show technical experts
will be available to provide visitors with practical advice and guidance on selecting igus products and solutions for their specific applications.

Q8Oils to promote ‘The Challenge’ metal working fluid initiative and updated Q8 portfolio at Southern Manufacturing 2016 Farnborough. 9-11 February 2016. Stand T134
ince Q8 Brunel was launched in early 2015, Q8Oils has continued development of its revolutionary water-soluble machining and grinding fluid and can now offer ten grades in the range that have been developed to out-perform all other fluids. All grades are suitable for use in hard or soft water, with ultra low foaming properties and are ideal for high-speed machining applications and the demanding fluid delivery pressures found on modern machine tools. The range is also designed to be fully-compliant with the latest European industry legislation. Another product being promoted at the show is Q8 Berlioz, a range of soluble cutting and grinding fluids developed to be tolerant to both hard and soft water and free of formaldehyde, chlorine and secondary amines.

witches, sensors and enclosures specialist, Bernstein Ltd, will be showcasing three brand new product ranges on Stand L79 at Southern Manufacturing 2016. The new slim line Type I49 double insulated position switch has been specifically designed for applications where space is restricted and high ingress protection is required. With a depth of just 16mm and rated to IP67, the new range is perfect for both position indication and safety applications. The IN62 and IN65 series are standard switches that conform to DIN EN 50047 and offer a protection class of IP67. Thanks to their regular dimensions, as well as the wide range of contacts and actuators available, these switches can be used in safety facilities and for position monitoring in virtually any industrial application.
