Filtration
Why?
Good hydraulic filtration is gaining more and more
importance in the use of hydraulic systems.
Origin of Contamination
The main cause of failures and downtime is dirt in the
hydraulic system.
Failure analysis indicate that 80% of the failures are
caused by faults in the hydraulic system.
90% of them are caused by impurities in the hydraulic oil.

EDITOR’S COMMENT
IT – stay protected
Using some kind of computer technology has become de rigueur for many people in business
and industry today. Indeed, it is now playing a critical role within digital transformation; the
world of Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence et al. However, as
we become more reliant and dependent on IT, along comes the dark side – the risk of cyber-
crime. And things are looking pretty grim in this regard. According to a new report published
by Make UK more than half of manufacturers have been the victim of cyber-crime, and a third
Ed Holden of those have suffered some financial loss or disruption to business as a result.
Editor The manufacturing sector is the fifth most targeted for attack in 2019, behind government
systems and finance. Yet, the report points out that manufacturing – which has 2.6 million
employees, provides 10 per cent of UK output and 70% of business research and development –
remains among the least protected sector against cyber-crime in Britain.
The report, ‘Cyber-Security and Manufacturing – A Briefing for Manufacturers by Make UK’,
casts a light on the full extent of the threat across the sector from loss of data, theft of capital
and intellectual property along with disruption to business and catastrophic impact on the
trading reputation of a business. Alarmingly, all expert opinion points to the fact that many
more attacks will have gone undetected, with businesses woefully prepared to protect
themselves against this ever-growing threat or to detect a breach after the event.
Cyber threat is increasingly a business-critical issue, with 41% of manufacturers reporting
that they have already been asked by a customer to demonstrate or guarantee the robustness of
their cyber security processes. Yet, when asked if they would be able to do this successfully,
31% of businesses said they would be unable to give those guarantees of cyber safety if asked.
Investment in the latest digital technologies is also being hampered, with many companies
“As we become more reliant holding back from implementing the latest innovations for fear of increased exposure to cyber-
attack. Some 35% of businesses admitted they are currently not fully investing in new digital
and dependent on IT, along processes even when not doing so will leave them unable to compete in an ever-changing and
comes the dark side – the developing global marketplace.
Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation, reflects that digitisation
risk of cyber-crime.” is revolutionising modern manufacturing and no facet of our sector will be untouched. “The
rewards are obvious,” he said, “technological leaps in the design, development, fabrication and
operation of the goods and services the UK makes. But the cyber security threat to
manufacturers is growing and evolving with it.”
Phipson also made the point that no business can afford to ignore this issue any longer and
too many are still burying their heads in the sand. “This is a strategic threat; failing to get this
right as a nation could cost the UK economy billions of pounds and put thousands of jobs at
risk,” he remarked. “Make UK recognises the vital role we can play in supporting
manufacturers in the face of this challenge. That is why we are partnering with leading cyber
security experts Vauban Group to make sure we are able to help our members with the latest
protective technologies and support to deliver new cyber security services that will help
manufacturers mitigate against current and future threats.”
Mitch Scherr, CEO of Vauban Group, added: “As manufactures continue to innovate and
invest in new technologies, there has never been a greater need for more effective cyber
defences to mitigate against the increasingly sophisticated cyber threats we’re seeing today.
“Make UK continues to lead the way for manufacturing in the UK and we’re pleased to be
working closely with them, delivering services and solutions that meet both the business and
cyber security needs of all manufacturers, including SMEs, ultimately improving the resilience
of the UK’s manufacturing industry in these uncertain times.”
Earlier this year, a cyber-attack brought a Norwegian aluminium producer to a standstill. The
incident occurred in March when one of the world’s largest aluminium producer NC Hydro was
forced to switch to manual operation when their digital systems were infiltrated and they
became subject to a severe ransomware attack. In the end, they had to halt production
completely while the virus was isolated. Nuff said. Stay protected out there.

Dr Baxter continued: “This review may provide an
opportunity to investigate different ways that a high-speed rail
link can be delivered with minimal environmental impacts,
particularly in the area of modal transfer. It may also find
solutions to elements of the scheme that will lower costs, for
example by reducing the size of stations or delaying sections
of the route.
“We would encourage consideration of existing network
readiness as part of this review, as the ability to deliver
passengers to HS2’s origin and terminus stations is critical to its
success. Without investment in the existing railway and other

Continual investment
Camozzi Automation managing director Adrian Farnham said:
“We are continually investing in our infrastructure; not only to
meet customer expectations, but to surpass them. The expansion
of our cylinder service is living proof of our philosophy of
continuous improvement.”
Series 52 builds on all the benefits associated with rodless
cylinders; being particularly suitable for long stoke applications
as there’s no bending of the piston rod and in applications
where space is at a premium. Available as double-acting,
magnetic or cushioned, all versions are available with either
standard or short carriage, thereby catering for a wider range of
applications.
