Power Generation: Machining Big, Heavy, Expensive Components
‘Everything is big, heavy and expensive’ for shops serving the energy industry. By Christopher Tate Each segment of manufacturing has unique characteristics. Automotive machining is characterized by high volume and low margins. Aerospace is highly regulated with tight tolerances. Medical machining is also highly regulated with difficult to machine alloys.
Turning in a New Design
Here’s how a new part design became the “hub” of future victory for students working on the Formula SAE car project at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. The year was 2013 and our Formula SAE car team had just returned from a successful run at their competition, albeit with some scorching critiques from the design judges.
PRAB promotes testing programs for scrap processing, fluid recycling decisions
According to the company, testing metal chips, turnings, swarf, coolants and process fluids under application-specific conditions can provide empirical data to guide equipment selection, scrap value improvement, volume-handling capacity and projected return on investment. PRAB says this approach can help manufacturers address rising disposal costs and environmental requirements, and recover more value from waste streams.
GPT gearhead family
The GPT gearhead family from Faulhaber can be flexibly combined with various motors from the standard range, such as motors from the flat BXT brushless family or the brushless DC drives from the microdrive experts. During development, they were specifically designed to work with the DC drives of the GXR/SXR gearhead family, which allows for perfectly matched combinations of encoders, drives and gearheads.
