Several months ago we asked whether there are too few engineers for American manufacturing, or whether there are too many. Not surprisingly, opinions differed
Molten zinc alloy is not commonly considered as
an instant curing “glue,” nor as an alternative to instant-cure adhesives for
bonding small components. But it has been used for more than 60 years in
FisherTech’s Injected Metal Assembly (IMA) process to join components in much
the same way as adhesives. While zinc alloy can’t replace adhesives in all
applications, it can do so in many assemblies without the problems of peeling
and thermal degradation inherent with conventional adhesives, and without the
need for special surface preparation.
More welding equipment is now equipped with digital power supplies, microprocessors and servocontrollers that monitor all joining process variables and parameters. As a result, assemblers have more opportunities than ever to join plastic parts with much higher quality, tighter tolerances and fewer problems.
While they are stronger, lighter and more popular than ever, cordless tools are still restricted by battery power, weight and durability. But, new battery technology is allowing cordless tools to become more efficient.
