Can the telecoms industry boost sustainability? Although not the biggest culprit of heightened carbon emissions and waste production by far, the telecommunications industry must still make its operations, products and services more sustainable.
Unforeseen bearing failures in production-critical machines and equipment can prove extremely costly in replacement parts, labour and downtime, all of which have a negative impact on bottom-line profitability. This problem becomes worse in contaminated environments, such as those prevalent in steel manufacturing, which is why increasing numbers of steel plants are turning to the advantages offered by NSK’s long-life Super-TF spherical roller bearings. Manufactured from a specially developed, proprietary material, these bearings are able to increase service life and uptime significantly.
Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has revealed new developments that advance the application of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technologies to industrial applications, including collaborations with printer manufacturers pro-beam, Sciaky, DM3D, Gefertec and Meltio.

Hexagon’s Geosystems division announced today a partnership with Airbus to integrate two Leica Chiroptera 4X bathymetric LiDAR sensors for maritime surveillance into the C295 MSA, Airbus’ Maritime Surveillance Aircraft.
Rolls-Royce and Netinera have signed a contract for the complete overhaul of up to 180 mtu PowerPacks. The contract runs until 2032 and provides for the complete overhaul of PowerPacks based on mtu Series 183 engines using the so-called Reman process. Netinera uses these PowerPacks in regional trains of the type Siemens Desiro (VT 642).
The new GEMÜ P600S multi-port valve block solution allows for flexible combination of standardized single components. The new modular system therefore offers advantages regarding procurement and inventory-keeping, whilst simultaneously ensuring achievement of highly individual actuator travel and flow paths.
