RUD and its joint venture, RUD+SpanSet Ramstein, will be showcasing their comprehensive solutions for the handling of injection molds at the Fakuma 2026, which takes place from 12–16 October in Friedrichshafen. The presented portfolio covers all process steps, including lifting and positioning, rotation and turning, opening and closing and also ensures safe, efficient and ergonomic handling. Visitors can find RUD and RUD+SpanSet Ramstein on stand B5-5109.

Aalen, 1 September 2026 – RUD is expanding its range of tried-and-tested ACP-TURNADO lifting points to include one designed for maritime environments. The ACP-TURNADO OCEANSTAR is the first lifting point to be certified by DNV for subsea applications. It is therefore ideal for use in offshore structures, such as wind farms and drilling platforms, as well as in shipyards, subsea construction projects and the associated supply industry.

Tried-and-tested lifting and load-handling solutions for the railway industry – ranging from standardised components to fully customised load-handling devices – this is the focus of RUD and RUD+SpanSet Plauen at InnoTrans 2026 (22 to 25 September 2026, Hall 6.2b, Stand 420).

From planning and operation to service – RUD provides support to maritime lifting applications, even in the most challenging environmental conditions. The company will showcase its application and development expertise at SMM 2026 in Hamburg and will present DNV-certified lifting equipment and innovative specialised solutions, including those developed through collaborative partnerships.

Even in its fifth year since its founding, UniversalAutomation.Org (UAO) continues to see strong membership growth. Among its newest members are the American organizations HPE and Clemson University.

Since its foundation in 1991, LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH has developed into one of the largest specialists for fiber optic outfitting in Germany. The company offers high-quality and customized solutions for data centers, broadcast, FTTx, 5G and specialty optical fibers. On the 1s t of July 2021 Sachsenkabel celebrated its 30th anniversary together with customers and business partners in a digital live event.

Under the watchword ‘Digital Laser Solutions’, Laserline has expanded its portfolio with hardware and software solutions for the implementation of fully networked Industrie 4.0 process architectures. All Laserline LDF diode lasers are with immediate effect ex works available with OPC UA interfaces and can thus be integrated seamlessly into IoT architectures on an OPC UA basis. Additionally, Laserline offers a retrofit solution for the OPC UA upgrade of existing systems. By the IoT integration of the laser, the switchover to a forward-planning or condition-depended maintenance inter alia is supported.

Highly efficient laser solutions for industrial material processing in the battery and e-mobility sector - this is the focus of Laserline's presence at the Battery Show Europe 2024. The main topics include new high-efficiency diode lasers for economical and environmentally friendly battery drying and blue diode lasers for the effective processing of copper components for electric drive technology and power electronics.

LWL-Sachsenkabel GmbH has launched a modular rack unit with high packing density for structured cabling in 400G and 800G data centers. The 19-inch MRU system is available in 1U installation height, can hold up to 144 fibers, and is suitable for patch and splice applications.

With the LDMblue high-power diode lasers, Laserline presents the world’s first blue diode lasers with cw output power of up to 1 kW at 450 nm wavelength. As the first industry lasers, the new LDMblue lasers allow for a controlled heat conduction welding of highly reflexive non-ferrous metals such as copper or gold. They are available in standard configurations with 1000, 500 or 300 W output power.

Aalen, July 2024 – Digital advice on lifting loads – that’s what the new BUDDYtron app from RUD has to offer. The tool assists you with the choice, assembly, visual inspection and repair of lifting means and lifting points and helps to make lifting processes safer and more efficient. The key component of the app is an extensive database, which, in addition to detailed information on all RUD products, also bundles numerous assembly and test instructions as well as valuable practical tips in the form of texts, images and videos.

At the Laser World of Photonics in Munich, Laserline showcases new LDF and LDM diode laser systems with increased output powers. Furthermore, as a highlight of the exhibition presentation, the first blue diode laser with a cw output power of 1 kW will be presented. Additionally, new processing optics and exhibits from diverse application areas will also be on display.

Laserline has optimized its portfolio in the high-power blue diode laser segment. In doing so, the company is making important advances in focusing properties. This is because with output powers of up to 800 watts blue lasers will be available with 20 mm-mrad beam quality, while lasers with output powers of up to 1,500 watts will be available with 30 mm-mrad beam quality. These improvements simplify the joining of thin copper contacts as well as welding with scanner optics.

At EuroBLECH 2018, Laserline will present high-power diode lasers for all classical forms of metal processing. Additionally, processing optics and exhibits from various application fields will also be presented.
