Brand new Modulo ‘Ultra’ Slim screwdrivers from C.K Tools
promises universal solution for terminal screws
C.K Tools, the trusted choice for trade professionals, has developed a range of screwdrivers that offers a comprehensive solution for terminal screws during switchgear installations. Eliminating irritating, time-wasting and costly breakage caused by ill-fitting screwdrivers. Developed in collaboration with a panel of electricians, the new expanded Dextro VDE Modulo
Slim range covers all screw types commonly used in circuit breakers, contractors, relays, terminal blocks, PCB clamps and electrical boards, as well as those found in RCBOs. With the backbone of the series comprising the Slotted/Pozi and Slotted/Phillips tip types, in both size one and two, the selection is completed with a unique product for each style, the brand new Modulo Ultra Slim screwdriver. This unique design combines all the access of a slim size one screwdriver, with the profile and strength of a size two.

ATS: the heating, sensing and controlling suite of tomorrow
In the past, thermal systems always had trade-offs that often made the “ideal” system out of reach. Whether budgetary concerns limit the number of temperature sensors, tight space requirements restrict the number of zones or the technology hampers how precise the heating systems are, these systems are often curated with compromise. Here, Sean Wilkinson, Product Manager at industrial technology company Watlow, explores how adaptive thermal systems (ATS) are designed to provide companies with the tools to build the heating systems they need, without forcing compromise. A great heating system needs a great controller.
Of course, better controllers are only worth the investment if it’s possible to achieve better control throughout the system. Improved control requires more sensors, which can be a costly proposition.
But there are ways to get around high costs. High temperature coefficient resistance (TCR)
materials respond to temperature changes with a change in resistance. By measuring that change, it’s possible to determine the temperature at that location. Building heaters out of high TCR materials adds a sensing capability, adding measurements to places where they were previously impossible due to space or cost requirements. Likewise, integrated thermocouple heater (TCH) junction temperature control turns heater
power leads into a thermocouple junction. The voltage at this junction varies consistently with the surrounding temperature, so measuring it provides a spot measurement of the temperature at that location. Together, these two technologies offer expanded sensing options without additional wiring or extra controllers.

Union Industries blows away the competition with its Ramdoor at BSW Timber
Union Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer of bespoke industrial doors, has once again demonstrated the robust design and manufacture of its Ramdoor by helping BSW Timber overcome extreme weather challenges through the installation of two high-speed doors. Having installed a Bulldoor at BSW Timber’s sawmill in Newbridge on Wye, Wales, in 2021, Union Industries has returned to tackle the site’s challenging location with two of its hard-working Ramdoors. Founded in 1848, BSW Timber is the largest sawmilling company in the UK. With six sites
across the UK and Latvia, it is a large-scale producer of certified timber products for various industries and applications, including fencing, landscaping, decking, cladding, construction, joinery and pallet production. It is a member of BSW Group, owned by its parent company, Binderholz, which is Europe’s
largest integrated sawmilling group. The sawmill’s location required a tailored door solution to meet the unique requirements of the
site. Union Industries Ramdoors not only needed to provide high wind resistance, but ultimately had to provide the reliability that BSW timber needed. The Ramdoors, with their robust construction and durable components, replace two existing
European-manufactured fast acting doors, which were incurring excessive repair costs due to their age. Each of the Ramdoors have been engineered to achieve a Class 5 wind resistance rating, making them able to withstand strong winds, and to remain operational even during severe weather conditions. Achieving this rating is supported by a number of the Ramdoor’s features, including its thick
Ramhide door curtain material which is high-frequency welded together, giving the strongest fabric joins available.
