Modular automation for ink jet coding
Not all coding applications can be met by an ink jet printer in isolation. More often than not, an automation system is required.
Programmable screwdriving at lower cost
The new programmable Werner screwdriver from RA Rodriguez adds considerable value to an already proven multi-axis system.
They offer high load capacity, high rigidity, quiet operation and are complemented by a choice of motors, plug-in positioning systems and controllers.
Visitors to Southern Manufacturing will be the first to receive a new product overview that details the wealth of options available within this product programme.
Examples from the company's own range of linear components will also be shown.

Plastic bearing system ideal for washdowns
Systems which are exposed to frequent wash down or whose application is underwater are not best served by traditional rolling element bearings.
Roller bearings can be preloaded
The important benefit of the new, patented ZRB HOLO-ROLT bearing over its solid roller alternative is that it can be pre-loaded more effectively.
These include linear guideways, ball bushings, bearings housings, shaft supports and shaft blocks.
The latest additions to the range are ballscrews and acme screws, ideal for a wide range of needs from slow transporting and clamping operations through to those requiring precision and dynamic positioning.
Speedy Rail from TMT is another featured product.
This is an extruded aluminium alloy beam that is surface hardened and given a patented finishing treatment.
This provides a smooth, hard surface comparable to tempered steel.
A key attribute of this product is that its nonstick surface layer offers excellent resistance to weld splatter.
For many UK companies, a Kaydon bearing is the generic name for any thin-section bearing.
RA Rodriguez has represented this manufacturer's UK sales interests for many decades and its experience in this technology sector is considerable.
Naturally a range of examples will be shown at Southern Manufacturing but the expanded range of Metri Reali-Slim bearings will be highlighted.
These have bore sizes ranging from 20 to 360mm diameter in three different cross-sectional sizes of 8, 13 and 20mm square.
A newly produced CAD CD-ROM will be freely available at the show.
KHK has been making standardised stock gears for over sixty years and has become one of the largest well-respected manufacturers in this field.
More than three million gears are made and sold annually.
KHK has earned the reputation of being the most reliable and convenient gear supplier and is recognised by its brand name by the users of gears throughout the world.
RA Rodriguez is KHK's sole UK distributor and will be showing a selection gear types including spur, helical, racks, mitre and worm gears.
Recent additions are the sintered metal spur gears.
These allow RA Rodriguez to offer small sizes previously only available in plastic, complementing its injection-moulded range; both can be mixed and match to provide higher torque requirements.
