Because automation can produce more with less, it can help domestic manufacturers compete with low-cost overseas labor. It’s certainly a valid premise. But, like golf, dancing, baking bread or cutting dovetails by hand, implementing automation is harder than it looks.

A process monitoring system guarantees the functionality of mixing nozzles produced on automated assembly line.

Cartesian gantry system feeds bolts, threaded bushings and support plates to injection molding machine.

A mobile robot built by engineers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) will reach the Moon before NASA astronauts.

The electric vehicle revolution is generating new interest in an old technology: magnetic pulse welding.

Quiet and economical, servo presses play a key role in automated production of plastic cards.

BROOMFIELD, CO—James Engineering has developed an automated alternative to traditional deburring and chamfering methods with the new 11-axis MAX System CNC-type deburring and chamfering machine. The machine consists of two, five-axis heads and a C-axis rotary worktable. Servomotors position the heads via an X-Y overhead gantry using hardened, chrome, ground shafts and carriers with multiple, preloaded bearings.

At its most basic, press-fit assembly is a simple process. An assembler loads parts into a fixture and actuates the press. After the machine has done its job, the worker unloads the assembly and the process starts all over again.

Welding plays a critical role in producing appliances, automobiles, construction equipment, ships, tractors, trailers, trucks and many other products. Unfortunately, there’s a severe shortage of welders, and the demand for skilled welding professionals is growing.
