The best Black Finish from the world leader
Room temperature blacking of Iron, Steel and Stainless Steel!

lackfast’s room temperature blacking process is both safe, easy and convenient to use. The process has been
developed for safe and reliable use in metal working facilities, so it is no longer necessary for parts to leave the production site for finishing by an outside contractor. Unlike conventional methods of blacking it is
non-hazardous. Blacking of iron and steel provides a corrosion resistant
finish without dimensional change. This is attractive for machined parts manufactured to tight tolerances, where plating or painting would not be acceptable. As it is very important that the components are clean
and free from grease before using the blacking process, Blackfast also offers a range of degreasers from solvents to water based and rust removers. please quote reference FESEP for our Gift Card Draw entry valid up until 1st December 2018.

SAB® Welding & Cutting Products has premiered the new architecture and user interface for ESAB‘s Digital Solutions
platform at the world’s leading trade show for industrial technology and the leading global platform for Industry 4.0. “The reception in the Microsoft booth at HANNOVER MESSE to
ESAB’s latest online data management technology has been phenomenal,” says Mike Pantaleano, VP Data Driven Advantage, ESAB. ESAB showed off new prototypes powered by Microsoft Azure IoT and utilizes the ThingWorx® Industrial Innovation Platform from PTC. ESAB’s Digital Solutions platform provides several capabilities — ESAB WeldCloud, ESAB CutCloud and more to come — that connect digital ecosystems for welding and mechanized cutting, respectively. At HANNOVER MESSE with Microsoft, ESAB showcased the new architecture for ESAB’s systems that allow for on-premise, hybrid and cloud based architectures.

Consistent Coolant Delivery for Consistent Processes W
anner International will be exhibiting the latest developments in high-pressure coolant delivery on
stand 8E78 at AMB Stuttgart. The Company’s Hydra-Cell pumps are claimed to reduce costs
and improve productivity thanks to their seal-less design. Able to handle the fines that can destroy pumps with dynamic seals, Hydra-Cell pumps require no fine filtration. They need minimal maintenance and can even run dry indefinitely without damage. Being a true positive displacement pump with no internal flow
losses, Hydra-Cell pumps have efficiencies of 78% - 90% (pump shaft to hydraulic power) resulting in significant energy savings; efficiencies that are maintained year after year.
Hydra-Cell’s seal-less design ensures there is no reduction in flow rate with increasing pressure, especially with
low viscosity coolants. Also featured will be the Hydra-Cell intelligent pump, a stand-alone system with minimal machine interface that can maintain a set pressure for all tools in the carousel without the need to bypass coolant when the smaller tools are employed; saving energy and cost while keeping the coolant cooler.

can gain in-depth experience of selected Jungheinrich forklift trucks in a variety of working situations. This enables trainees to practise a wide range of scenarios in a safe space without the risk of property damage or personal injury. Jungheinrich has succeeded in boosting the flexibility of the training it provides while also making considerable savings in terms of time and travel expenditure.
A Thomas Diwan, head of the Jungheinrich Training
Centre, explains: "Those taking part in the training completely forget that they are in a virtual environment. Everything seems perfectly real. Experience has shown that actions learned as part of the VR training are performed much better in real applications later on and error rates are vastly reduced. Jungheinrich is therefore planning significant expansion of its VR training."
The VR training concept, developed by Jungheinrich
employees, involves trainees wearing special glasses to view a virtual warehouse environment. The various training units enable them to view selected forklift trucks from all sides, operate functions, take a look inside and make repairs with the appropriate tools. The entire fleet of Jungheinrich forklift trucks can be represented as an actual-size 3D model where every component can be individually disassembled. It is also possible to go through logistical functions and processes in close-to-real conditions. Virtual reality therefore makes it possible to learn from your mistakes with no risk involved.
Steve Shakespeare, business director, Jungheinrich UK,
adds: “In today’s tightly integrated, 24x7 intralogistics marketplace, the performance of every piece of equipment is under increasing scrutiny. Driven by the end consumer’s growing expectations, the cost of downtime

s part of the award-winning VR training, engineers are placed in a virtual warehouse environment where they
or operational inefficiency continues to rise – and the role of the connected customer service engineer has never been more important.
“At Jungheinrich, we’re therefore committed to
providing our engineers with the highest quality support, tools and training required for an ever faster, more efficient response. Technology has a vital role to play here, facilitating a joined-up approach to information – via services such as VR training and Call4Service app – that will move the industry forward and add real value for our customers.”
Jungheinrich virtual reality training won gold in the
'Customer Project' category of the Immersive Learning Award 2018. The jury found that the use of VR in the Jungheinrich Training Centre clearly demonstrates how new technologies can bring quick and effective success in a learning environment.
