Closing the Skills Gap
Watson and Crick. Lennon and McCartney. Hewlett and Packard. Three examples of successful collaborations whose achievements had a dramatic and long-term impact on their respective industries.
Big Data, Automation and the Future of Manufacturing
Big data and automation represent two very important tools that should help us create a brand-new type of manufacturing that doesn't require as much constant human attention and effort. It should, at the same time, vastly improve the safety and accuracy ...
Next Generation Motion Control - Achieving the Impossible
This article reviews the motion control scene, and places the introduction of the Hybrid Hexapod® in context for pan-industrial manufacturers working at the bleeding edge of precision and repeatability.
Injection-Molded Plastic Allows More Creativity than Ever Before
Not being limited to metal (or a few standard plastics) opens up a much wider range of design options for engineering and design teams. They can think in more creative ways about complex geometry, performance in harsh environments, shielding considerations etc.
Intrinsic Safety: Isolated Barriers Bring out the Best in Protection
Intrinsic safety has a unique advantage over other ignition protection methods. Because trained personnel can connect and disconnect live circuits, it is possible to remove and replace intrinsically safe devices in hazardous areas.
Ensuring That Paint is Safe for Your Products
Paint is one part of the manufacturing process that happens in nearly every industry, but it's one thing that many people don't think twice about. That is largely due to the fact that making paint is a complicated chemical process.
Understanding the Basics of PLCs
PLCs are special computers designed to control industrial processes and machines. Software PLCs offer great communications functionality through communicating with other computer equipment or controllers.

3D Printing: Cutting Edge Technology for the Circular Economy
The useful life of a machine should not be dictated by the availability of a single part and this is now no longer the case with the application of 3D printing. The rise of the circular economy has led to a new way to fix things.
Electrical Safety in the Manufacturing Environment
When safety is addressed early in the design phase, it is more effective and can prove to be a more economical safety play in the long run for the facility. However, its never too late.
Testing Lubrication Methods to Prolong Life in Flexible Shafts
To meet this expectation for flexible shafts, a product that provides lifetime lubrication without the need for maintenance activities is needed. FLEXCELLENT Technology (combination of dry film lubricants and traditional grease) found to provide maximum performance.
LM Industries - A Digital OEM
LM Industries low speed, electric and autonomous vehicle, Olli, uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymer thermoplastics in its 3D printing process. Additionally, Ollis chassis is nearly 90 percent 3D-printed
How to Automate Phase Gate Processes in Manufacturing
At a high level, phase gate is a strategic approach to breaking down a complicated process into more manageable phases, which are then separated by checkpoints.
