Survey: Manufacturers are adapting Smart Factory tech—and reaping benefits
A survey designed to assess manufacturers' preparedness for Industry 4.0 changes polled 537 manufacturing executives across eight industry segments. The vast majority of manufacturers surveyed have recognized the need for industrial transformation, with most already taking action. Those that have done so say they are already seeing benefits as a result.
Watlow saluted for workforce development efforts
Thermal systems manufacturer Watlow has been working to bolster a shrinking manufacturing workforce in the US, and its efforts have been recognized. The Missouri Association of Manufacturers has awarded the company a Made in Missouri Leadership Award because of its support of STEM education, training programs and economic development initiatives.
Episode 84: Defining truing parameters, part two
For the 84th episode of the CTE Grinding Doc video series, Dr. Jeffrey Badger offers some preliminary results and observations from his work with Rush Machinery to establish scientific truing parameters.
No. 994 Special Cabinet Oven for Heating the End of Long Parts
No. 994 is a 500° F (260° C) special cabinet oven from Grieve, currently used for heating the end of long parts at the customer's facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven are a tapered 10" at front and 20" at rear wide x 20" deep x 21" high.
Control System Delivers 50kHz Servo Rates
Polaris Motion's control system delivers 50kHz servo rates and all the motion axes are synchronized to nanoseconds using Mercury, its real-time Gbps motion network. The result is superior form accuracy, surface finish and better throughput in parts/hour, according to the company.
Sandvik Coromant launches CoroTap line
In response to strong demand for reliable machining solutions in the aerospace industry, Sandvik Coromant has launched new tapping and thread milling tools for ISO S materials (titanium and nickel-based alloys). The products have been specifically designed to enhance process security on high-value components, such as engine casings, thus providing reductions in scrap rates and machine downtime.
StateMonitor for CNC Manufacturing Personnel
HEIDENHAIN Corp. announces the availability of the new StateMonitor for CNC manufacturing personnel who are implementing connected systems as part of the Industry 4.0 initiative. This new software is an option with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls and connects with PC systems to allow the user to view data and evaluate control processes remotely and in real-time.
GN 342.1/342.2 Steel Vibration-Damping Leveling Mounts
JW Winco Inc. offers GN 342.1/342.2 metric size, tapped and threaded, stud-type, steel, vibration-damping leveling mounts. The specified load for these RoHS compliant leveling mounts features a recommendation up to the point the damping element can be permanently subjected.
Engine plant reduces power, water consumption by about 30%
At the BWM Group's engine plant in Steyr (Austria), in a reference project accompanied by the Technical University of Vienna, Ecoclean Monschau has significantly raised the energy efficiency of a flexible EcoCFlex Classic robot cell that had been in service for several years. The system's electric power and water consumption were each cut by around 30 percent.
Wisdom guide for fabricators to adopt the right CAD tool
Fabrication/manufacturing is a very discrete industry and is on a run to shift towards additive manufacturing instead of the conventional machining process. And as a result, 3D CAD sketching and modeling tools are accepted as the most lucid geometrical medium for design articulation.
Carr Lane offers ON-SIZE Bushings for Bullet-Nose Dowels
New ON-SIZE bushings from Carr Lane Mfg. Co. are suitable for fixtures used at high-temperatures up to 750° F (400° C), such as in autoclave curing. These precision bushings are used with bullet-nose dowels to align two pieces of a fixture.
High-Speed Air-Bearing Ultraprecision Spindles
If you are looking for product quality improvements that only an ultraprecision tooling spindle can provide, and also require the robustness of an industrial grade design, Precitech says the ASD-H25 and ASD-Cx high-speed air-bearing ultraprecision tooling spindles by Levicron are precisely what you need.
