Zhuming Bi's "Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach" strikes a solid balance between more traditional finite element analysis (FEA) textbooks that focus primarily on theory and the software-specific guidebooks that help teach students and professionals how to use particular FEA software without providing any of the theoretical foundation, the publisher reports.

The application fields of part cleaning processes using aqueous media range from coarse through intermediate to fine and ultrafine cleaning. Before an investment in suitable cleaning equipment is made, key questions regarding cleaning quality, throughput, cycle times, process stability and cost efficiency must be answered. Ecoclean addresses these aspects via different machine concepts adapted to the respective industries and tasks.

SCANLAB GmbH's precSYS micromachining system is drawing positive responses from integrators and system builders. The system's individualized customer service, with in-person commissioning guidance, training and on-site application support, has proven to be of practical advantage. Customers who build laser processing systems to fabricate products, such as electronic devices or automotive components, achieve good processing results much more quickly, thus boosting their productivity.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of MiCAT Planner v1.5 for the company’s coordinate measuring machines. In as little as one click, MiCAT Planner automates the generation of measurement programs based on CAD models containing geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) information, as well as dimensional measuring equipment (DME). When no GD&T information exists, it can easily be added.

Fixtureworks introduces an extensive lineup of bearing wheel covers from Fairlane Products. These bearing wheel assemblies are in stock and ready to ship to help reduce potential lead times and eliminate sourcing problems and tooling costs.

Lucifer Furnaces has delivered a general-purpose box furnace to a manufacturer of precision metal stampings. Model HL7-M24 has chamber dimensions of 12”H x 18”W x 24”D and heats to 2,300° F.

Because products need to be manufactured quickly and cost-effectively, the pressure to automate production processes is greater than ever. To meet these growing requirements, igus has developed a new, compact linear robot that is shipped from stock as early as same-day and offered at a low price of $2,165.
