Product of the Month:

PEMA A 350 Self aligning roller bed

The PEMA A-series of self-aligning roller beds is well-suited for managing unbalanced, thin-walled, and/or heavy cylindrical workpieces. These roller beds ensure uniform weight distribution, consistent rotation speeds, and versatility across a broad spectrum of workpiece diameters, eliminating the necessity for separate adjustments.

The loading capacities within the A-series span from 12 to 800 tons.

In PEMA A-series roller beds, roller bogies automatically adjust to align with the diameter of the handled workpiece. Compared with other roller bed types, PEMA A-type roller beds provide superior weight distribution. This is a significant advantage in handling of thin-walled workpieces.

  • Ideal for unbalanced, thin-walled and/or heavy workpieces
  • Even weight distribution
  • Automatic adjustment for different work-piece diameters
  • PEMA roller beds fulfil the requirements of the European EN-safety norm
  • All PEMA roller beds come with CE-markings

History of Science

Artificial Satellites:

Satellites were first invented and successfully launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, with the launch of Sputnik 1. This beach ball-sized, 83.6-kg (184-pound) sphere orbited the Earth every 98 minutes, marking the beginning of the space age and the U.S.-Soviet space race.

Artificial satellites, commonly used for communications, navigation (GPS), and earth observation, are launched via rockets and operate in various orbits, including low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO).

Scientific Facts

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world and can weigh up to 800 pounds:

The tiger is the largest of all living felids, instantly recognizable by its vibrant reddish-orange coat decorated with unique black vertical stripes. Much like human fingerprints, no two stripe patterns are identical. These apex predators exhibit significant size variation depending on their environment. While the Amur (Siberian) tiger has historically been recorded as the largest—with some captive specimens reaching over 800 pounds—wild Bengal tigers in prey-rich regions like Nepal and India often reach comparable sizes, with males averaging 450 pounds.

Monthly Forum

There is a textile revolution happening in Egypt:

Egypt’s textile industry — once the pride of the national economy — is undergoing one of its most ambitious transformations in decades. A wave of foreign investments, industrial modernization projects, and public–private partnerships is reshaping the sector into a global export platform that blends Egypt’s traditional strengths with cutting-edge production capacity.

In just the past year, the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) has approved textile and garment projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, while the Ministry of Public Business Sector continues to roll out its EGP 56 billion modernization plan for state-owned spinning, weaving, and garment companies. Together, these efforts are turning Egypt into one of the most active textile investment destinations in the Middle East and Africa.
