SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS 2017 PREVIEW SHOWCASE FOR MACHINERY MAKERS
Southern Manufacturing and Electronics returns to FIVE, Farnborough on its new Spring dates of 21-23 March 2017 which combined with its popular three-day format is expected to provide a further boost visitor numbers. Conveniently located close to the M3 in Hampshire on the site of the Farnborough International Airshow, Southern Manufacturing is the largest annual showcase of industrial hardware in the UK. The 18,000m² purpose-built venue will
host around 800 exhibitors from all over Europe representing the whole spectrum of industrial activity from fixtures and fittings to engineering services. Although industrial equipment is a subset of the show it is a substantial part of the event, offering a comprehensive selection of international suppliers. Centrepiece of the show for many
visitors is the live machinery demonstration area where many leading vendors showcase the latest production technologies. Southern Manufacturing is one of the most important annual showcases for machinery makers and so attracts strong support from global brands such as Bruderer, Yamazaki Mazak and Haas Automation. Matsuura will launch its newest
machining centre, the eagerly-awaited
MX-330 PC10 5 axis. The company anticipates high demand for its newest lights-out automated production machine; two have already been sold in the UK ahead of its official launch. The show’s popular free seminar
programme for 2017 offers its customary high standard of presenters drawn from industry, academia and commerce and is designed to appeal to anyone involved in engineering or manufacturing. Topics addressed range from advice on Lean, effective design and selling technical products to reviews of the latest advances in manufacturing technology. A total of 28 sessions over three days
will include an overview of advanced manufacturing and 3D Printing, enclosure design, Industry 4.0 and the regulatory significance of the Brexit vote. Pre-booking is recommended. On-site parking and entry to the show
is free of charge. Visitors can keep up to date with the latest show and exhibitor news by heading to the show's official blog

igus will showcase a wide range of cost- effective, lightweight and maintenance- free bearings and cable management systems for a variety of engineering applications. Visitors will see live demonstrations including the drylin W curved rail system. Easy-to-install with self-aligning carriages, it does not require lubrication and so runs maintenance-free. A pivoting spherical ball made from the engineering plastic iglidur J is used to self- align the carriage for smooth, reliable movement along the rail. “The innovative design of the drylin W carriage retains its alignment with the rail to eliminate binding whether it’s travelling along straight linear runs or round tight bends,” explains Robert Dumayne, director of drytech bearings, igus. “This opens up endless possibilities in applications for a wide range of industries including marine, aerospace and stage technologies.” A further highlight will be the new
Compact Rotation Module (CRM), an easy-to-install rotary system that guides different types of media: power, signals, data, fibre-optic, pneumatic and oil through rotational movements of up to 360° degrees in tight spaces. Additional modules enable the angles of rotation to
FLEXIBLE ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS
Henkel will demonstrate how its latest generation LOCTITE, BONDERITE TECHNOMELT and TEROSON products can benefit the entire value chain. Whether the task is in system building,
assembly or repair, these engineering adhesives, sealants and functional coatings improve performance and cut costs. Core technologies including thread locking, sealing, gasketing, retaining, instant and structural bonding will be demonstrated using the latest products. Regardless of which substrates are chosen and the conditions that prevail, if it’s technically possible Henkel says it can provide the most appropriate solution. Continuous development across the range has led to products that are more tolerant of contamination, able to support a wider range of operating temperatures and therefore be applied to a greater number of tasks. As a result, adhesive technology is being widely adopted across all engineering sectors to improve the performance and longevity of products, as well as allow dissimilar materials to be joined to reduce overall weight and energy consumption. LOCTITE 4902 combines the
traditional benefits of an instant adhesive with flexibility, resistance to leaks and excellent sealing capability; it is proving particularly useful in medical device manufacture. With LOCTITE 4090 the benefits of epoxies and cyanoacrylates have been combined into one product. TECHNOMELT, Henkel’s low pressure
be extended ‘virtually’ indefinitely. “The combination of rotation and
additional modules makes the best choice for rotary systems with high fill weights and limited space,” says Justin Leonard, the-chain director, igus. Throughout the show the igus team will be available to take visitors through the benefits and potential applications of their bearing products and cable management systems and provide insight into the full product range.

moulding solutions continues to attract more and more UK manufacturers. As the entire operation takes place at low pressure, cycle time is short and sensitive products such as PCBs and fragile circuitry are not damaged. TECHNOMELT is said to deliver measurable improvements over traditional potting/ encapsulating processes.
