Inside a climate chamber, there is no margin for error. These highly specialised enclosures operate under constant extremes for weeks, months or even years at a time. BINDER, a leader in precision climate chambers, required a handling system that would match the reliability, stability and contamination control of its environmental technology.

Initial Situation: Challenges in Everyday Hospital Operations Hospitals are under increasing pressure: the ongoing shortage of nursing staff, overworked personnel, and declining job satisfaction are central issues. Studies show that around 21% of nurses’ working time is spent walking between tasks that could be better used for direct patient care.

Just as our tag line states, at Accuride we are ‘Always Moving Forward’ – but to move forwards we must first look back and appreciate how far we have come as a company. With the New Year fast approaching, we are looking back at what we have achieved over the past twelve months. From the launch of some market-disrupting products like the new DA1532 pocket door slide as well as the more compact DA0118RC linear motion slide to being ranked 16th amongst the most crisis-resistant companies in Germany in 2023, we certainly have a lot to celebrate.

In today’s industrial landscape, energy efficiency and flexibility of motion systems are crucial to business success. Traditional pneumatic cylinders have limitations, particularly in terms of energy efficiency, noise generation, and maintenance requirements. FULLELECTRIC® offers an innovative solution that overcomes these challenges.

Transporting firearms safely is a huge concern for hunters on the move. Recognising this, Gantech, a startup specialising in optimising vehicle storage solutions, came to Accuride distributor Hans Buch looking for the best drawer slide for their weapons storage drawers.

In the world of manufacturing and design, partnerships play a pivotal role in turning ideas into reality. Each Accuride project, whether dealt with by ourselves at Accuride or by our distributors, is treated with a personal touch. So, we were particularly proud to hear that our distributor Metrol Springs Ltd has taken a similar personal approach with their customers.

Mud. Dirt. Dust. UV rays. All of these can cause havoc on a new pair of shoes. Which is why Danish company Imbox Shoecare Protection designed the Imbox footwear protection machine. This was previously a service only available to those in Japan and Europe, but now – thanks to the hard work of those at Imbox – the company have just launched a new version for the North American market.

It was only a few years ago that the idea of autonomous deliveries and robots were just a futuristic idea which belonged on our TV screens. Now, many of us have seen robots delivering shopping or conducting routine deliveries around hospitals and hotels. Robotise are one of the companies making this a reality, and at Accuride we are proud to have been working with them for several years by supplying the motorised telescopic slide used in the drawers within the robot.

A wind turbine is made up of four distinct parts - the generator, the tower, blades, and the nacelle. Most people will be able to identify the first three, however the fourth may be a little trickier. The nacelle is the compartment on top of the tower which houses all the components which work to turn the kinetic energy from the blades into electricity.

Whether it be one of our reliable linear motion tracks or our popular ball bearing slides, at Accuride we do not shy away from using our own products to improve our everyday lives. That is why, when we needed to make it easier to move the mobile gantry crane in our model shop, our engineering team were quick to install our 0116 heavy duty linear slide.

Phototherapy units have come a long way since the 1950s, when it was first discovered that phototherapy could treat jaundice in infants. Since then, manufacturers like MEDICOR® have been working hard to source only the best components for these machines, whether that be the telescopic slides used in the drawers or the specialist LED lights.

Toyota. Nike. Intel. What do these three companies have in common? They have all opted to use the lean manufacturing process. Put simply, lean manufacturing is a concept developed to help businesses speed up their production processes – by improving efficiency, reducing waste and increasing productivity.
