Achieving reliable thickness measurement in a production environment

Target materials and production processes influence how product thickness is measured. Methods may involve setting roller gaps, adjusting extrusion dies, or monitoring poured and cured materials such as glass, rubber, or metal. Secondary processes can include layered or bonded materials like carbon fibre. Measurement challenges vary, from gaps and roller systems to free space or single-sided checks on transparent materials. This webinar from Micro-Epsilon UK will illustrate a range of measurement techniques for these challenges

Autonomous Vehicles and Delivery Robots: Innovation or Public Safety Problem?

Join the IET London Young Professionals Network for an engaging Hot Topic event exploring the future of autonomous vehicles and delivery robots.As autonomous technology continues to develop, self-driving vehicles, pavement delivery robots and intelligent transport systems are moving from concept to reality. These innovations have the potential to improve mobility, reduce delivery costs, support accessibility and transform how people and goods move through our cities. However, they also raise important questions around public safety, regulation, ethics, cyber security, liability, accessibility and trust. How safe is safe enough? Who is responsible when something goes wrong? How do we balance innovation with the needs of pedestrians, road users and local communities? This event will bring together speakers from industry, research and engineering to discuss the opportunities and challenges of autonomous vehicles and delivery robots.
