Drum drive range expanded 22/07/2025

SPECIALIST IN electric motor and gearbox solutions, Technidrive has extended its Drum Drive range to meet growing demand for electrified, energy-efficient conveyors across heavy industries. The latest additions offer greater torque capacities, flexible mounting and reduced maintenance, helping operators meet both operational and sustainability goals.

Built for demanding environments such as quarrying and recycling, the Drum Drive is a compact, integrated motor and gearbox system used in conveyors and winch systems. With the extended Drum Drive range, Technidrive now supports a broader spectrum of applications, from high-torque feeders to fast-running conveyors and heavy-duty winches.

The newly introduced 80M model offers dedicated solutions for high speed, lower torque applications. Designed for compactness and performance, the 80M features a power range of 2.2 to 18.5kW and delivers torque up to 10,000 Nm, while being up to 72% lighter than equivalent bevel helical units.

For applications requiring winch functionality, the 80W Drum Drive is a dedicated solution. Featuring heavy-duty bearings, integrated gearing and optional failsafe braking, the 80W supports power ratings from 0.12 to 75.0kW and torque output up to 42,000Nm, all within a footprint up to 60% lighter than traditional alternatives.

In medium-to-large belt conveyor systems, the 80D variant combines integrated gearing with external IEC motor compatibility. It delivers high torque in a streamlined package, making it ideal for rugged operating conditions. Meanwhile, the 80MD model offers a completely enclosed solution tailored for fixed belt conveyors operating in harsh environments. With drum diameters ranging from 320 to 800mm and widths from 500 to 1400mm, the 80MD also benefits from a cycloidal-pin gear mechanism, improving durability, transmission stability and service life.

“By expanding the Drum Drive range, we can now support a wider variety of conveyor and winch applications, particularly where space is tight and torque demands are high,” explained David Strain, technical director at Technidrive. “These upgrades help OEMs and operators replace bulky hydraulic systems with compact, energy-efficient alternatives that are easier to install and maintain.”

The Drum Drive’s integrated design allows the motor and gearbox system to be mounted directly inside the conveyor head drum, functioning as a bearing and removing the need for external shafts and lubrication systems. The result is a lower total cost of ownership – up to 33% less than conventional bevel helical units – and a significant reduction in structural load.

All Drum Drive units are compatible with WEG’s high-efficiency motor technology, including hybrid and permanent magnet designs. These feature ferrite, neodymium, or synchronous reluctance (SynRM) magnets, supporting organisations’ energy efficiency and carbon reduction strategies.

“With features like integrated gearing, high-efficiency motors and reduced maintenance, the Drum Drive gives engineers a modular platform for more sustainable and agile equipment,” added Strain. “It’s already delivering results in quarrying and recycling, and we’re excited to see wider adoption as electrification advances.”

Unlocking smarter manufacturing 22/07/2025

LIBRA SPECIALITY Chemicals, a high-growth SME and key supplier to global FMCG brands, needed to act faster, identify issues earlier and gain sharper control over its manufacturing operations. With growing complexity and rising customer expectations, manual methods were no longer enough.

In response, Libra partnered with XpertRule to implement XpertFactory, a decision-intelligence powered platform that now gives teams real-time visibility across every stage of production, boosting efficiency, improving quality and transforming decision-making.

The challenge

Despite having a reputation for quality and innovation, Libra faced mounting challenges due to limited real-time visibility in its processes. Relying on manual recordings, engineers could only see issues while physically present, and managers were often making decisions based on outdated data. This approach caused delays, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for improvement. As production demands increased, the need for timely, accurate data became critical.

For Libra, digital transformation wasn’t about disruption, it was about enhancing what works. The turning point came with Project ARGUS, an industry initiative backed by Made Smarter and led by Procter & Gamble. The goal was to reduce the time and disruption caused by microbial contamination – a common but costly issue for chemical manufacturers.

To mitigate this, rigorous testing is carried out at each stage of the supply chain. But traditional methods require samples to be incubated for up to three days, delaying production and tying up revenue in quarantined stock.

Libra served as the manufacturing testbed, piloting new optical sensors that detect microbial biofilms in real time, critical for preventing contamination and costly downtime.

To bring this data to life, XpertFactory provided the digital layer, capturing sensor outputs, triggering alerts, and offering actionable insights. It enabled teams to act before problems escalated. The success of ARGUS proved the value of live operational visibility, prompting Libra to expand XpertFactory across its core processes.

Dr Oliver Smith, technical manager at Libra Speciality Chemicals, comments: “Having centralised, real-time visibility has transformed how the site operates. Instead of reacting to problems, we anticipate and plan around them based on accurate, up-to-date information. It’s created a culture of visibility and transparency and everyone’s now pulling in the same direction.” 

Real-time intelligence, plant-wide

One of the first expansions focused on monitoring tank levels, previously a manual and fragmented process. With XpertFactory, data is now digitised, visualised, and shared through intelligent dashboards. Teams across procurement, sales, and supply chain all work from the same real-time data, reducing delays, miscommunication, and duplicated effort.

Live monitoring of agitator speeds, temperature, and power use has unlocked even greater benefits. Trends are tracked across batches, giving early warning on inefficiencies.

“If a process takes longer than expected, we know immediately,” explains Libra’s site manager. “That helps us investigate and adjust without waiting for end-of-week reviews."

Beyond technology, XpertFactory has driven a powerful cultural change. Teams now collaborate with confidence, changes are backed by evidence, helping teams prioritise actions that deliver the greatest impact. From improving batch consistency and optimising reactions to reducing cycle time, the site is now driven by data. Urgent customer requests are handled faster. Decisions are grounded in evidence, not assumptions.

“When a customer has an urgent request, our teams can check the status and respond quickly,” says Sahd Hussain, commercial director. “We’ve reduced delays and miscommunication because people no longer need to check updates; they just check the system."

Looking Ahead..

With tangible gains in quality, consistency, and efficiency, Libra is now extending XpertFactory’s reach, starting with eliminating paper trails. Upcoming developments include digital sign-offs and automated compliance logs to improve traceability and simplify audits, critical in a regulated industry.

Darren Falconer, XpertRule technical director says: “With XpertFactory, Libra has transformed its manufacturing operations from manual and reactive to real-time, intelligent and highly efficient. Operating from the same live data, enables cross-functional collaboration and faster, more confident decision-making.

“Ultimately, XpertFactory is not only meeting Libra’s current operational demands but actively shaping best practices for the future.”

Crucially, the journey has been collaborative. “XpertRule listens. They don’t just offer a tool, they offer a partnership,” says Oliver. “It’s not off-the-shelf; it’s something that evolves with us,” adds Hussain.

Libra Speciality Chemicals continues to lead through quality, innovation, and service, now powered by a smarter, data-driven approach to manufacturing. With XpertFactory, they’ve turned digital transformation into measurable business impact.

Bespoke apprenticeship addresses automation skills shortage 22/07/2025

DEVELOPED TO address the shortage of automation and control systems skillsengineering specialist, MARCH has launched a new digital apprenticeship programme. The new programme has been designed by MARCH and will be fully funded by the business, not via levy.

The scheme will launch with an initial cohort of apprentices based across four regional offices in Burton-on-Trent, Daresbury, Reading and Sheffield. Apprentices will work towards a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from Teesside University via flexible open learning, with options to progress to Higher National Diploma (HND) and BEng level qualifications.

The programme begins with three months of intensive skills training focusing on accelerated learning across key areas of control systems, software and automation. During this phase the apprentices will be trained together at a regional MARCH Academy hub. Following the initial term, apprentices will return to their regional base to continue their open learning and hands-on training, supported by experienced mentors.

Tailored to support the development of digital capabilities in industrial automation, MARCH is taking an industry-leading approach with this bespoke scheme. Designed to set a new benchmark for skills training in the sector, the programme will ensure high standards of consistency and quality across a geographically dispersed cohort, providing a level of uniformity that is not currently available through levy-funded apprenticeships in this field.

Paul Cantrill, operations director at MARCH said: “As automation becomes increasingly central to engineering, it is essential that early-career training keeps pace. While there are good courses available through the levy, they did not offer the depth or flexibility required to meet the needs of our teams and customers. By designing our own programme with qualifications provided by Teesside University, we are creating a clear, high-quality pathway into digital engineering, one that gives every apprentice, wherever they are based, the tools and support to thrive from the very start.”

The apprentice control systems engineer role will prepare students to design and develop control software that automates complex industrial processes. The programme combines academic learning with real-world project delivery, providing a practical, future-focused route into the industry.

The new apprenticeship forms part of MARCH’s wider investment in people, supporting its long-term strategy to deliver sustainable, technology-led engineering services in highly regulated environments.

Cobot demand strengthens after 2024 low 18/07/2025

DESPITE INITIAL projections that the global collaborative robot (cobot) market would bottom out in 2023, cobot shipment growth hit new lows in 2024, falling to 13.8%, according to new data from Interact Analysis.

The market intelligence specialist reports the market has come under increasing pressure over recent years amid ongoing economic headwinds and supply chain disruptions. Fluctuations in the rate of expansion indicate the market’s sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions. However, a return to stronger growth is expected, with 2026 (23.9%) marking the strongest growth year for shipments during the forecast period out to 2029.

While Interact Analysis forecasts early signs of revival ahead of predicted high growth from 2026-2029, there has been a significant structural shift reshaping the entire cobot market landscape. Both non-manufacturing and new energy sectors have emerged as key pillars for the market, with both maintaining stable demand. Meanwhile, the semiconductor and electronics industries, which have traditionally been strong market end-users, have started to generate significant orders as they move into a recovery cycle.

Two of the most common applications within the manufacturing industries include material handling and assembly. Together, they account for approximately 50% of cobot market revenues in 2024. Downstream industries are also showing strong demand for collaborative robots. Testing and inspection both showcased application growth rates above 20% in both 2023 and 2024.

China could reach 70,000 cobot units by 2029

Since 2023, China has accounted for over half of global cobot shipments and shipments are predicted to reach almost 70,000 units in 2029. EMEA and the Americas will maintain a stable but more modest market share. The biggest end-user industry for the global cobot market is automotive, but electronics remains the largest for China. Approximately one-third of all collaborative robots sold in China in 2023 went into the electronics industry.

In 2024, price reductions in China, among other factors, led to global collaborative robot revenue growth remaining stuck in single digits. In the European market, revenue contributions dropped due to macroeconomic challenges, while the US market faced economic uncertainty and concerns relating to tariffs are continuing to constrain the market.

Maya Xiao, research manager at Interact Analysis, says: “2029 cobot revenues are now expected to reach approximately $2.5 billion. The core growth drivers remain labor shortages and rising labor costs, E-commerce expansion, the shift toward flexible manufacturing, and increasing cobot adoption in the service sector. These trends show no signs of weakening, underpinning a highly positive long-term outlook. Cobot shipments are expected to sustain a strong annual growth rate of 15%–20% through to 2029 at least.”

Occlusion-free automated inspection 18/07/2025

DELIVERING 100% inspection at metrology grade level combined with occlusion-free scanning, SmartRay has launched the latest addition to its ECCO X industry-leading sensors – the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head.

While traditional single-head sensors experience shadowing from raised surface areas when the laser hits the target point but the camera is blocked from viewing it, the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head features a second camera head positioned symmetrically to the first, which significantly reduces occlusions and enables uninterrupted visibility even on complex surfaces.  

The dual-head sensor ensures accurate 3D point capture across all parts of the sample without missing data that could occur due to shadowing, as the two cameras overcome this.

The ECCO X 025 Dual-Head is the first dual-head sensor to have X capabilities, which include up to 40 kHz scan rate and 4096 3D points per profile. It also comes standard in lc 3R, with higher scan speeds through shorter exposure times.

It is suitable for a wide range of applications that may be affected by shadowing, including the automotive sector, where the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head can meet the high inspection demands of structural and reflective parts like battery trays.  In semiconductors and electronics, high precision is essential for inspecting small, shiny, metallic objects, including conductor wire bonding, BGA and also PCBA, and this new sensor is a game-changer in this process.

Claire Rathsack, ECCO Business Manager said: “We’re setting a new benchmark for high-precision, shadow-free 3D scanning with the launch of the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head. By integrating dual-head scanning into our industry-leading X platform, manufacturers can now achieve faster, more reliable inspection with precision, especially for challenging, reflective, or complex parts in demanding applications."

Key specifications include a field of view (FOV) of 25mm at mid-field, a typical measurement range of 20mm and a laser wavelength of 450 nm (brilliant blue), the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head offer accurate inspection and precise measurement.

Flame and thermal barrier passes UL 2596 torch and grit test 16/07/2025

TECHNOLOGY LEADER in thermal protection systems (TPS), Blueshift’s AeroZero Flame and Thermal Barrier (AZ-FTB) material has become one of the first thin profile TPS to pass and complete all 10 cycles of the UL 2596 Torch and Grit Test (TaG). Therefore, proving its market-leading performance in helping to mitigate the risk of thermal runaway in electrically powered aerospace applications.

UL 2596 Test Method for Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Battery Enclosure Materials, Torch and Grit Test (TaG), is designed to provide a standardised approach for assessing the impact of explosions on electric battery enclosures. The TaG exam involves the exposure of an alternating pattern of flame (~15 seconds) and alumina ejecta (~5 seconds) onto a material sample. The twenty second alternating cycles are repeated up to 10 times, after which the material is said to have passed. The test is designed to prove the performance and durability of battery materials against the extreme temperatures and mechanical abrasion can rapidly cause failure within a battery system during a thermal runaway event.

Blueshift’s AeroZero Flame and Thermal Barrier (AZ-FTB) successfully passed all 10 cycles of the TaG test, proving resilient against high-intensity flame and grit cycles at temperatures reaching 1200°C and power levels of 3 kW. Despite its light weight and thin profile, no breaches or material failures were observed in all samples tested, highlighting the material’s exceptional resistance to extreme thermal runaway events.  

Dr Lawino Kagumba, VP applications and research of Blueshift, reports that this reinforces Blueshift as a disrupter in the advanced material sector for electric aircraft and aerospace industries: “This marks a significant accomplishment for Blueshift as one of the first companies to produce a thin profile and light weight material capable of withstanding all 10 cycles of the challenging UL Torch and Grit test. This is a testament to our material’s unique capabilities and its potential to transform how design engineers approach battery module design.”

The tests were performed at UL Solutions’ Northbrook, Illinois facility following a demand for safer, more resilient battery systems.

Virtual world for offshore wind robotics innovators 15/07/2025

A TRUE-to-life simulation platform designed to fast track the deployment of robotics and autonomous systems for offshore wind – the first of its kind to harness live environmental data – has been developed by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult.

VDARE (Virtual Demonstration and Assessment for Robotic Environments) allows companies to test, validate and accelerate the deployment of robotics in a range of offshore wind environments. This includes floating offshore wind platforms, fixed bottom wind turbines, and harbour and dockside operations. The technology realistically simulates wind, wave and sea  conditions, environmental parameters such as wind speed and wave height, and a multi-robot communications system.

Dr Cristina Garcia-Duffy, director of research and technical capabilities at ORE Catapult said: “VDARE has the potential to be a game changer in the development of new robotics solutions supporting the roll out of offshore wind. By creating accurate real world offshore environments to put innovative robotics through their paces, we can help fast track their progression to commercialisation and gain valuable learning on how to overcome various technical challenges for the sector. 

“A huge amount of work has gone into ensuring that the digital environments we have built are truly reflective of the real world conditions that robotic devices are likely to face in the development and maintenance of offshore wind farms. Our Blyth facility already has a long and proud history of helping innovative companies fast track solutions for the offshore wind sector, and VDARE provides another vital tool to support that.”

A variety of UK locations are offered on VDARE, and the platform can also replicate international locations with the inclusion of site-specific operational and environmental data.

The VDARE project is delivered with funding from Innovate UK’s Smart Shipping Acceleration Fund and OLTER (The Offshore Low Touch Energy Robotics and Autonomous Systems) project, part of the Net Zero Technology Transition Programme, created by the Net Zero Technology Centre.

Dave Wilkes, director, innovation ecosystem at Innovate UK, said: “Offshore renewable energy is a vital part of the UK’s journey to net zero. By investing in robotic systems, ORE Catapult is supporting development of the most cutting-edge technology to help reach that goal and keep UK businesses at the forefront of this opportunity. This work at the ORE Catapult is an example of world-class expertise as part of Innovate UK’s Catapult Network.”

Luca Corradi, chief technology officer at the Net Zero Technology Centre, added: “Creating a test environment that accurately reflects offshore conditions is a significant step forward for offshore wind robotics. Access to real life environmental data allows developers to test and refine autonomous systems earlier, improving reliability and reducing risk. This capability supports safer, low-intervention deployment at scale and plays a vital role in advancing dependable offshore operations as part of the wider energy transition.”

Showcasing VDARE’s capabilities, ORE Catapult teamed up with leading USV (unmanned surface vessel) company Acua Ocean to simulate deployment of the company’s hydrogen-powered equipment. The demonstration involved deploying an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from the Acua Ocean USV, where it successfully followed the USV autonomously and collected vital data.

Mike Tinmouth, chief operating officer at Acua Ocean, said: “VDARE has enabled ACUA and partners to simulate operational environments, demonstrating our USV PIONEER autonomous vessels’ stability and payload capabilities.

“Working with ORE Catapult we have been able to develop a concept of operations in an operational environment such as an offshore wind farm or subsea data cables and simulate the deployment of payloads from USV PIONEER in different sea states and weather conditions. Whether this is the deployment of ROVs for subsea intervention work or UAS systems for aerial inspections, the VDARE platform enables us to develop a better understanding of operational requirements.”

VDARE is located within ORE Catapult’s DARE (Digital, Autonomous and Robotics Centre of Excellence) at the National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth, Northumberland, and represents the first stage in a test and validation programme, supporting robotics developers from concept to deployment.

ORE Catapult’s DARE Centre provides physical test facilities for equipment demonstrations within a controlled environment, while the organisation’s Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine, located in Fife on the east coast of Scotland, hosts real-world equipment trials.
