E Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, is introducing a new range of robust


unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches with M12 connectivity for use in railways and other forms of public transport. The new switches are designed to enable faster and more reliable networks. “These switches conform to EN50155 and will help the


digitalization in railway drives,” says Egbert Stellinga, industrial product manager at TE Industrial. “They facilitate safe and reliable public transport and provide an improved passenger experience. With the introduction of IoT in mass transportation, equipment data networks in rail are growing several times faster than the rail market. The switches respond to the need for faster data speeds and increased network reliability. Switches are the nodes in networks, providing the connection ports to devices like CCTV cameras, passenger information systems, sensors, lighting, HVAC and more.”

Curtiss and the Wright brothers, Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies has a long tradition of providing innovative solutions and building solid and trusted customer relationships Our surface treatments have been


successfully used by OEM’s in major industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, subsea, medical and power generation for many years.


We are only too aware of the logistical challenges and costs faced by our customers and so we can offer a “One


Stop Shop” solution, providing a wide range of surface treatments including Controlled Shot and Laser Shock Peening, Engineered coatings, Thermal Spray Coatings and Parylene Coatings for silicone, plastics and electronic components.


Problems We Solve Component failure is usually due to a sequence or combination of events which can initiate from the design and choice of materials through to manufacturing processing and assembly including the application of heat, welding and grinding, as well as machining and distortion of the part due to bending, rolling or forging. In services conditions can also contribute to the failure of a part such as variation in temperature and


environmental conditions, uneven, high or low cyclic loads or stress profile, compression, torsion and bending as well as foreign object damage. Matching the maintenance needs of the component to its operating conditions and environment is also important to reduce the effects of ageing and wear. Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies support every stage of the manufacturing process from design and new


manufacture through to in service maintenance, repair and overhaul of components – increasing the strength and performance of parts and reducing costs and downtime.

Epson expands its large format plotter range with new T-Series wireless printers to serve wider range of technical users SureColor SC-T3100 and SC-T5100 offer speed, precision and reliability in ultra-sleek, compact design for engineering and architecture communities E


pson today announced two new high-speed, easy-to- use large-format plotters – the 24-inch SC-T3100 and


the 36-inch SC-T5100 (pictured), available as desktop or floor-standing models. Marking Epson’s expansion of the T-Series product line to the low-to-mid-range CAD plotter market, the wireless plotters feature a new clean and compact design coupled with the reliable printing performance inherent in Epson’s technical solutions. Whether printing blueprints, line drawings, signage, or


classroom posters, the SureColor T3100 and SureColor T5100 will assist professionals across a wider range of segments including architecture, engineering, CAD, GIS, education, corporate, home and small office users. The unique auto-switching functionality enables the printers to swap between large format roll paper and A4/A3 size paper, without users having to touch the printer, ideal for small companies that have multi-purpose print requirements in a limited workspace. “The SureColor T3100 and T5100 are designed


specifically for innovators – engineers, designers and architects – looking for a compact plotter that fits neatly in their workspace,” says Phil McMullin, sales manager, Professional Graphics, Epson UK. “Building on Epson’s latest technology to deliver class-leading print performance, the new printers will allow users to wirelessly produce accurate and vibrant prints from tablets and smartphones virtually anywhere.” Leveraging Epson’s PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead


technology and Nozzle Verification technology to automatically detect and adjust nozzle condition, the new printers offer fast print speeds producing accurate A1/E- size prints in 31 seconds, with precise detail and commercial-grade reliability. Featuring integrated wireless and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity, architects and designers can
