Unique dovetail slot connection technology has many advantages
Montech launches a new aluminum framing system Montech AG expands its product portfolio by adding a new advanced aluminum framing system, featuring four types of profiles and a wide-ranging line of accessories. Besides the tried and proven dovetail clamping technology, now we also offer dovetail slot connection technology and clamping technology – the disruptive geometry of the dovetail sliding nut permits precise and secure clamping.
The new aluminum framing system MPS from Montech is an expansion of the successful
Quick-Set aluminum system profile, which we will continue to offer. Its combination of dovetail clamping and dovetail slot connection system is unique: it enables precise and secure clamping and fastening of components and accessories to the framing system. “For our new aluminum framing system, we have worked hard to expand the range of sizes and refine the geometry, while incorporating valuable experience and improvements suggested by our customers into its development,” says Daniel Pauli, CEO Montech AG.
First automated packaging line delivers improvements to board manufacturer
A leading fibre cement board manufacturer has taken its first steps into automated packaging, improving product presentation, increasing capacity and reducing reliance on labour. The company has purchased a sleeve wrapper and shrink tunnel from Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS) that are designed to achieve a consistent seal on even its lengthiest products. With customers including the best-known national DIY chains, the cement boards had to be wrapped to a consistent, shelf-ready standard. The packaging produced had to be robust to ensure that every board would progress through transit to its destination in prime condition, as the board edges can be vulnerable to damage.
The longest boards produced are over 2.4m and the shrink wrap needed to be to the same
standard for these long products as for the shorter products in their range. The boards are also very slim, so the proposed system had to be able to detect the products on the line, despite this. Previously, banding had been used to package the products, rather than shrink wrapping. As a result, the company’s team were unfamiliar with the shrink wrapping systems available and were looking for expert guidance. The YPS Team brought its expertise to bear to propose a system that would be ideal for this
operation.

Economical geometry and sustainable material The result is clearly visible: Besides the 2-in-1 function, the economical geometry also sets the new aluminum framing system apart – the optimized cross-section requires less aluminum. And that is positive for two reasons: Less material means less weight and more sustainable production. “Quality is important to us, and sustainability too! To optimize sustainability, we utilize only advanced, but also durable materials,” says CEO Daniel Pauli.
4 types of profiles, 2 sizes, unlimited possibilities The new aluminum framing system scores additional points for its versatility: 4 profiles – construction profile, hollow profile, corner profile or adapter profile – in a completely modular grid system, in two sizes 4020 and 5025, provide a great number of options. Whether for installation or extension, the new Montech aluminum framing system offers you configurations with hollow spaces and also with screw slots. And so there are no limits to the range of uses of the new aluminum framing system.

Maintenance and Diagnostics: Enhancing Sensor Reliability
Pepperl+Fuchs takes a proactive approach to sensor maintenance and diagnostics, incorporating advanced features that streamline identification, monitoring, and troubleshooting within industrial plants. These functionalities facilitate efficient maintenance and lay the groundwork for predictive and demand-based actions. The Localization Function stands out as a key asset, allowing
the precise identification of a single sensor within a plant. When a sensor requires repair or replacement, a specific IO-Link parameter addresses the sensor needing localization. The device responds with a flashing display, simplifying the identification process for maintenance teams. Predictive maintenance is further supported by the Operating Hours Counter, providing real-time information on a sensor’s actual operating time. Users can set limit values to prevent the sensor from exceeding a specific number of operating hours. Service technicians receive notifications when the predetermined threshold is reached, ensuring timely replacements and minimizing unexpected downtime.
