Self-locating projection weld nuts are designed to provide load-bearing threads in metal sheets which are too thin to tap. The products feature self-locating shanks for proper positioning without the need for pilots and electrodes, and also are said to protect threads from weld splatter. They also include projections to prevent burn-outs in thin sheets.

Manual lubrication
A new line of 12 manual lubrication products is said to save manufacturers time and money when performing assembly and maintenance, and to increase machine life. The line includes manual barrel pumps, grease guns, bearing packers, and grease fitting tools.
BLUE® Nylon self locking patch fasteners are said to prevent loosening of fasteners due to vibration, even if they're only engaged by a few threads. The product is permanently bonded to the threads of the fastener, and is said to create a counterforce when the fastener is inserted and pressure applied, and is also said to be adjustable, removable, and reusable.
This company's Handling and Assembly Technology (HAT) is said to offer builders a modular solution to the design and construction of assembly equipment. The pick-and-place system (Y-Z configuration) is standardized around two pneumatic actuator designs which are designed to meet small, medium, and large load applications.
Greerco® sanitary pipeline mixers are said to provide flexible, cost effective, in-line processing while also allowing fast and easy cleaning. The mixers feature a patented skewed turbine/stator unit which is designed to operate at tight tolerances for continuous high-speed, high-shear processing in applications such as homogenization, mixing, dispersion, and emulsion.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
