We’re in the middle of industrial trade show season, and our team has been traveling to various events around the country to uncover the most relevant new technology related to power transmission and motion control. But we’re not done yet. In fact, I’d like to call your attention to two upcoming events that are of particular note.

We are exhibiting in Booth #2152 at the upcoming Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, August 20–22. TPS combines a robust technical conference with an exhibition of suppliers, offering a forum for the exchange of ideas between rotating equipment engineers and technicians worldwide, especially in industries like turbomachinery, pump, oil & gas, petrochemical, power, aerospace, chemical and water.

The TPS technical program is hand-selected by advisory committees made up of key industry players and led by highly respected practitioners and leaders in their fields. Topics cover maintenance, reliability, troubleshooting, instruction on emerging designs, technology, and best practices that include case studies with real-world relevance on problems solved and lessons learned.

The TPS exhibit hall will include a wide variety of suppliers, including manufacturers of gears, bearings, motors, pumps, couplings and other components specifically designed for high-speed rotating equipment.

For more information about TPS, see their ad on page 17 or visit tps.tamu.edu.

We are also excited to be participating in IMTS, which takes place September 8–15 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Our booth (#237314) is located in the Gear Pavilion, where you will find all the major manufacturers of gear manufacturing equipment, software, cutting tools and more.

In addition to gear manufacturing technology, IMTS also includes hundreds of suppliers of components and systems related to machine and factory automation, including controls, linear motion, bearings, servomotors, conveyors, speed reducers, maintenance tools and much more. If you work in a factory, or if you design machinery for manufacturing, IMTS has something for you. For a sneak preview of some of those exhibits, please see Senior Editor Matt Jaster’s article on page 18.

We hope to see as many of you as possible at these events. I encourage you to stop by to chat with our editors, renew your subscription and learn more about the American Gear Manufacturers Association.

If you can’t make it to either event, I strongly encourage you to make sure your subscription is up to date. Go to powertransmission.com/subscriptions to fill out the quick and easy form. Over the next several issues, we’ll be writing about the latest technology, applications and solutions presented at these shows.
