Star Tribune: More Minn. factories convincing employees to work past 65
Hanging on to talented older workers steeped in institutional knowledge has become a critical issue for many manufacturing businesses. The worker shortage is driving employers to take creative approaches to retirement.
Washington Examiner: Congress wants to incentivize US manufacturing
A bipartisan and bicameral group of lawmakers is proposing a bill that would incentivize and boost American manufacturing, in addition to research and development, as the Trump administration looks to keep a promise from the presidential campaign. Reps. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and Ron Kind, D-Wis., with Sens.
Detect-A-Finger Drop-Probe Device
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 5,000 American manufacturing workers suffer injuries involving amputation or limb loss every single year. In all, amputations rank in OSHA's top three serious workplace injuries. Rockford Systems recognizes that these devastating, life-altering injuries are typically avoidable with the right safety equipment in place.
P-Rex Rare Earth Scrap Drums
Introduced in 2010 and originally marketed primarily for scrap recycling, Eriez P-Rex rare earth scrap drums are now successfully operating across North America in a variety of recycling sectors. The P-Rex is proving its value in the field--beyond scrap recycling operations--by boosting ferrous recovery rates for waste-to-energy and slag recycling facilities, according to the company.
Rotary transfer machines: Eclipsing the past
Some machine tools are modified so much and so frequently it becomes a common practice. That's certainly the case with rotary transfer machines.
Look Ahead: a novel 3D-connector inspection system
G2 Technologies has developed a customizable, automated 3D inspection system in response to a customer's need to inspect small electronic connectors. This niche is very specific, but impacts aerospace, automotive and other industries. The global market for the connectors industry is projected to reach $80.3 billion by 2022, according to G2.

The fundamentals of industrial sawing
Sawing is one of the most common manufacturing processes in a machine shop. It is versatile, simple and reliable. Nonetheless, many young engineers and machinists are quite familiar with lasers and abrasive waterjets but have no knowledge of sawing.
Determining when a custom toolholder is a better option
When it comes to selecting toolholders for drills, taps, endmills, shell mills and other round cutting tools, there is virtually an unlimited number of options. So how do you determine when a custom toolholder is a better option than 'stacking' standard ones?
Custom machines offer solutions standard ones sometimes can’t
Every so often a job or part geometry comes along where it would be helpful to have a few extra inches in a machine's work envelope, or perhaps a little higher rpm or an additional spindle. At these and certain other times, it might be worth considering a custom machine.
