When an automotive Tier 1 producer of metal assemblies needed a reliable and robust machine safety guard to protect operators from possible injury while the degreasing is in progress, it turned to Contrinex.

MiniTec UK is best known for its aluminium profile systems used in everything from desks and assembly benches to conveyor systems. But every so often, a project comes along that lets the company showcase just how versatile its modular system really is - and this golf ball sorting machine was exactly that.

When gas sensor manufacturer DD-Scientific wanted to automate the mixing, metering and dispensing of epoxy within its sensor production process, it turned to Intertronics.

Against the background of advancing digitisation in mechanical engineering, access management is also being put to the test: in close cooperation with the machine tool manufacturer Starrag, Pilz has developed the classic operating mode selection system into a holistic entry and access permission management system for Safety and Security tasks.

Identify Direct, trading as Machine Vision Technology, has developed a label-checking system for a major food canning company, which operates 26 production lines over two sites, and used to be particularly susceptible to mis-labelling due the a very large range of products for several major supermarkets.

Mitsubishi Electric has helped to deliver a step-change in productivity, uptime and hygiene for a leading manufacturer of vibratory conveyors to the food industry.

When a new thermal imaging telescope is sent into orbit at the end of 2026, it will open new possibilities to combat global warming and increase heat efficiency for urban planners. The telescope’s unique unfolding design, driven by maxon motors, achieves a compact footprint for rocket launch that is set to increase commercial viability across a broad range of applications.

To increase the capacity of a packaging line for individually packaged cheese portions, a manufacturer required a robust, reliable solution to detect the presence of each cheese portion to control the speed of in-line buffering units. These feed a packaging machine, in a high-volume, hygienic production facility. The company turned to Contrinex for a solution.

Petitpierre, the Swiss specialist for high-precision technology, has developed sophisticated applications with which micromechanical components can be cleaned and measured precisely during the production process. MVTec HALCON supplies the appropriate machine vision algorithms for this.

A food packaging machinery manufacturer trusts ReeR Safety to meet the demanding reliability and performance requirements of machines which perform high-speed processing tasks between a slicer and a thermoforming machine.
