Design and repair are fundamental aspects of any industry, often closely intertwined.
Whether adapting existing systems or maintaining essential equipment, these processes play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and longevity.
The launch of the new RS PRO Design & Repair range caters to a wide array of industries, including discrete and process manufacturing, energy & utilities, facilities management, and intralogistics. This expansion reinforces RS PRO’s commitment to delivering tailored solutions that address the specific needs of each sector.
With an extensive selection of products, the RS PRO range ensures precision, durability, and reliability in both design and repair applications. This latest portfolio expansion introduces over 1900 new products across 29 technologies, providing customers with an even broader selection at competitive prices.
Manufacturing plants often require modifications due to evolving product demands. Whether upgrading production lines, redesigning components, or integrating new solutions, design plays a vital role in maintaining operational efficiency. Similarly, repair is essential to minimise downtime. Every component, from the smallest fuse to the largest system, eventually requires maintenance.
The RS PRO range offers a one-stop solution for design and repair needs, providing a comprehensive selection to support every stage of the product lifecycle.

Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.
