RUSTA

Rheinmetalls Unmanned Systems Training Academy (RUSTA) is the new centre of excellence for commercial UAV, UAS and drone pilot training in the UK. RUSTA is a CAA approved National Qualified Entity for Small Unmanned Air Systems (SUAS) conceived in 2014 to counter demands for training requirements due to the exponential growth in the SUAS industry. RUSTA is passionate about flying and safety. Our goal is to ensure every Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), drone or SUAS operator can confidently fly within the safety standards and legal requirements set by the CAA. Whether you or your company's operators need specific UAV flying training, or training in order to obtain a Permission For Aerial Work (PFAW) from the CAA, RUSTA's courses will ensure you get the best service to keep you and your customers safe.

Flightpath Consulting

Flightpath Consulting supports users and suppliers of drones and drone technologies with its in-depth legal and commercial expertise. It was founded in 2014 by Joseph Dalby and John Wright, both practicing Lawyers and Drone Pilots. Flightpath was established to meet the growing need for key regulatory and commercial assistance on the use of drone technologies for a variety of civil and commercial applications. The use of UAS are extending into a number of sectors, including construction, agriculture and journalism. Like many new technologies, UAS bring with them a wide range of legal issues, from privacy to air safety and these issues will intensify as the industry grows.

The ERT150 - Dorner’s Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
