SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING ADHESIVE
Introducing the world’s first fully certified biodegradable hot melt
TECHSiL, in partnership with leading hot melt manufacturer Power Adhesives, is excited to announce the ground-breaking release of Tecbond 214B, a revolutionary packaging adhesive that marks a significant milestone in eco-friendly adhesive technology. As the world’s first fully certified biodegradable shaped hot melt adhesive, 214B offers unparalleled sustainability without compromising on performance. An innovative adhesive is designed to meet the demands of environmentally conscious industries seeking a
sustainable bonding solution for their packaging.
Formulated using biodegradable
materials, Tecbond 214B ensures minimal environmental impact. Its breakdown process starts upon exposure to oxygen, UV light and heat – all naturally occurring environmental conditions – as the long-chain polymers are broken down, it allows the material to eventually be consumed by micro-organisms. A process which leaves behind only non-harmful products – no microplastics! This high quality packaging adhesives is non-toxic, made using 44% bio-based materials, and is certified to ASTM D6400, EN13432, ASTM D6954 and ASTM D6866 standards. It is available in 12mm, 15mm and 43mm size to suit any size tec glue gun. Speak to the technical specialists at TECHSiL for more information or to obtain samples.

PANASONIC INDUSTRY LAUNCHES AI-EQUIPPED SERVO SYSTEM
Panasonic Industry has launched the industry’s first commercialised AI-equipped servo system. The compact MINAS A7 servo drive family devices use Panasonic Industry's independently developed precAIse tuning, making full use of AI technology to achieve highly precise automatic tuning without any need for an expert engineer. This also reduces setup time by up to 90%. MINAS A7 motors and drives improve equipment performance while simplifying installation and operation. Thanks to the integrated AI the servo system can even automate tasks in areas where experts are needed to spend time for tuning machines manually due to unsatisfactory performance from conventional automatic tuning functions. The product also achieves the industry’s highest level of motion performance with an encoder resolution of the servo motor with 27 bits and 134,217,728 pulses/time, the company states. The speed response frequency, which indicates the control performance of servo amplifiers, reaches an industry high of 4.0 kHz or greater. Furthermore, the servo motor achieves a maximum rotation speed of 7,150r/min which contributes to shorter cycle times. The drives are backward compatible to MINAS A6 devices. Philipp Zebisch, senior team manager product management at Panasonic
Industry, said: “With the development of the MINAS A7 series, we have achieved an optimum of human-machine operations due to its highly intelligent automation and monitoring capabilities. They reduce installation time and maintenance costs and guarantee the highest processing quality and speed in numerous applications like spin coaters, dicing saws, chip transfer machines, IC handlers, bonding equipment, equipment for substrate inspection, metal and laser processing machines, injection molding machines, presses and pipe-bending machines.”

NEW OPEN MATERIAL 3D PRINTER ACCURATELY PRODUCES END-USE PARTS
Tri-Tech 3D now offers the Origin Two, a new open material 3D printer from Stratasys, that can accurately produce end-use parts with exceptional repeatability. This achieves tight tolerances and an injection moulding-like surface finish, and enables short production runs and on-demandmanufacturing of parts that require superior quality and performance, like those found in medical device production. The system also offers real-time datamonitoring and high-temperature printing. “Low-volume, high-precisionmanufacturing is a key strength of 3D printing
technology, and Origin Two demonstrates how far these capabilities have come,” explained Silvana Arteaga Moreno, Stratasys 3D printing medical specialist at Tri-Tech 3D. “The ability to get real-time data from the system is a game- changer. Manufacturers can gain insights into every aspect of their production, from workflow efficiency to the accuracy and perfection of each part. This visibility is crucial, it allows users to maximise printer production and uptime while achieving high-quality outputs.”
