Manufacturing intelligence: Keep processes under control
A trend in manufacturing is toward tailor-made products in smaller lots with shorter delivery times. This change may lead to frequent production modifications resulting in increased machine downtime, higher production costs, product waste and the need to rework faulty products. To satisfy the customer demand behind this trend, manufacturers must move quickly to new production models.
Understanding manufacturers’ challenges in the new year
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing Extension Partnership has a unique position in the federal government that allows the MEP to collect and analyze feedback directly from clients served by the MEP's national network. This provides the MEP program with a wealth of information that guides the MEP's approaches to serving the U.S. manufacturing industry both now and in the future.
Houses of the ‘holy’
I haven't received any books about manufacturing lately, but a PDF of the new book "Rock Stars at Home" landed in my inbox, so I read it.
Metal gets a second life at Duke University’s Innovation Co-Lab
Chip Bobbert eyes a sheet of shiny aluminum that is several feet long and crimped on one end. He guesses that this was once the backsplash of a restaurant kitchen. Nearby, he spots another piece of metal with a square opening at the center.
Using edge computing in manufacturing
As manufacturers invest in industrial internet of things-enabled devices to collect more data throughout production processes, many are also deploying edge computing to improve the analysis of data. Edge computing uses dedicated, on-premises resources at the shop-floor level rather than the remote servers that cloud computing relies on.
How cranes create efficiency in aerospace
Whether building spacecraft, commercial aircraft, military helicopters or single-engine planes, manufacturers in the aerospace industry must lift, turn and position large, heavy components every day. There are many ways to do this, from ride-on vehicles like forklifts to conveyor belts and overhead equipment.
What a manufacturing skills gap of more than 2 million people looks like
There will be 4.6 million new manufacturing jobs in the United States to fill between 2018 and 2028, according to a report from Deloitte. Unless manufacturers start exploring new strategies, they won't be able to find enough people qualified to work in their specialized factories.
M5F90 Facemill
Designed for machining thin-walled aluminum automotive parts without burring, scratching or chipping, the patent-pending M5F90 facemilling cutter is being released by Sandvik Coromant. The two-in-one M5F90 cutter features an design that allows roughing and finishing in a single operation, delivering shorter and more efficient machining strategies.
G Series XRF Plating Measurement System
Bowman has debuted an addition to its suite of benchtop XRF plating measurement systems. Bowman's G Series XRF is a robust system that's suited for jewelry, connectors and other precious metal analysis. Because it quantifies zinc, zinc-nickel and other anti-corrosion coatings, it is also suitable for components such as fasteners.
4TEX Indexable Insert Drill
The new 4TEX drill from Allied Machine & Engineering is engineered to deliver optimal chip formation and evacuation and provide higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light-duty machines. This indexable insert drill excels in applications with interrupted cuts or when drilling on angled surfaces.
APX Drill
The APX drill from Allied Machine & Engineering delivers the strength and versatility needed in machining oil and gas field equipment. This heavy-duty drill allows for higher spindle speeds and is designed to take advantage of the power curve on modern CNC machines for maximum penetration rates in deep hole drilling.
TVS-35 Series Videoscope
Titan Tool Supply Inc. announces the introduction of its new TVS-35 Series Videoscope to provide remote visual inspection for aviation maintenance, casting and cavity inspection, diesel and gasoline engine repair, or locomotive and ship maintenance. The new quality control instrument features full 360° articulation using durable tungsten-braided sheathing that enables easy insertion and bending through complex environments, according to Titan Tool.
