Vomat ZFA central filter systems consist of separate modules. Their advantage is their combinability. The modules are assembled according to the customer's system requirements. The basic model for Vomat central filter systems is the ZFA 1200, whose filter unit has compact dimensions of 1200 x 1200 x 2200 mm (L x W x H). The filter fineness is 3-5 µm.

The forks' anodised coating adds protection against corrosion, and the black finish is ideal for installation in optically sensitive environments. This enables the new clevis forks to blend in with engine bays and machines, and the linkages are also ideal for installation in theatre sets where the black coating obscures them from audience view.

In partnership with Sandvik Group, Sandvik Coromant has developed a statue made using AI modeling and cutting-edge manufacturing solutions.

The aviation industry represents an important market segment for WFL Millturn Technologies GmbH & Co. KG. This industrial sector increasingly requires ever more materials that are deemed to be difficult to machine.

RCS L-90 is a ballbar device that improves robot system accuracy, reduces deployment time, and monitors robot health with simple routines controlled by its supporting software suite. RCS T-90 is a tri-ballbar system which enables robot users to identify root causes of poor performance, with further comprehensive tests to capture critical robot information – such as remastering the joint offsets to calculated positions, running master-recovery routines, and plotting 3D path performance. The third RCS product, RCS P-series, integrates a permanent Renishaw probing solution within a robot cell to apply in-process metrology and automatic recovery to automation processes
