Tower lights are indispensable in machine and system construction as well as in intralogistics: They make states, faults, and ongoing processes clearly visible from a distance. The new Leuze tower lights of the TL 305 series can do all of this extremely reliably. They light up brightly, uniformly, and fully. This enables optimum signaling —… The post Leuze tower lights provide clearly visible light signals appeared first on Design World.

Not too long ago tooling options for Swiss-type turning centers were fairly limited. With so much to pack into a small space there was little room for indexable tooling, and quick-change systems were largely proprietary to a machine, if available at all. Lack of tooling flexibility and lengthy tool setup or replacement times limited the throughput of this very productive equipment.

With key components contracting for several months straight, some coming up on a year now, it is surprising that overall metalworking activity did not dip earlier and more dramatically. It is now at its lowest point in three years. Components that contracted did so faster in June, including new orders, backlog and production, landing on low values last seen at the start of 2023.
