Whether it’s houses, staircases, or squares: natural stones are the foundation of everyday life. Yet, the global construction industry faces challenges such as rising raw material prices and supply chain issues, leading to cost increases and project delays. These factors directly impact the natural stone industry, where demand for materials like limestone and granite is declining, yet parado
Autonomous and without statutory break times – Robots can offer real value to carpentry workshops and boost production. However, acquiring such machines is often associated with high costs. Used machines might offer a viable solution.
Carpentry has been a traditional craft for centuries. Yet, this trade is not exempt from digitalisation and automation through the use of robots. The development
The green lathes, milling and drilling machines seem like relics from times gone by. These robust machines, often lacking CNC technology, are now rarely seen. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the so-called Reseda Green was one of the standard colours. Since green causes the least eye strain and helps prevent accidents in the workshop, Germany even had a standard, DIN 1844, until 1974, which specified
From manufacturer to visual condition: How to avoid costly mistakes and risks when buying used laboratory equipment.

They are encountered more often than you might think and are essential in many branches of industry: tubes. How today's production has been optimised, which areas of application pipes are used in and how used machines can be a sensible investment for more sustainable production.
The history of pipe production is closely linked to the industrial revolution and the rise of steam engines. These ma
