New products bring new solutions at exhibition!

Profil are unveiling two new product ranges which are a must-see for engineering teams working with metals: the REN nut is now available in thread sizes M8 - M16 and is intended for use in thicker gauge materials from 4.0mm upwards. Additionally, the company is launching its RSD round self-piercing nut, available in sizes M6 and M8 for materials up to 2.0mm thick Norbar is showing its new fully portable torque tool calibration equipment. TruCheck 1000 is an innovative new product which can be used 'in-situ' thereby eliminating the need for tools to be removed from their place of work and taken to a remote calibration facility. This is said to deliver considerable cost savings, to say nothing of eradicating the inconvenience often incurred by having to take tools elsewhere for routine calibration New adhesive application equipment is on show from Rheological.
