Error-proofing with power tools has an extensive history and an exciting future, including technologies such as wireless networking and ultrasonic fastening control.
There are multiple ways to create the master signature for signature analysis. The methods range from simple to quite complex, depending on the process requirements. Techniques include teaching a single part cycle, in multiple cycles or in a max/min signature range.
Signature analysis is a technology assemblers can use for rapid, root-cause diagnosis of several assembly processes performed on a range of products. Here is a partial list of several applicable processes and related parts, as indicated by signature analysis product suppliers.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently embarked on a new initiative to develop robotic autonomous manipulators that mimic human arms, wrists, hands and fingers.
Unmanned air vehicles represent the most dynamic growth sector of the aerospace industry. In fact, UAV spending will more than double over the next decade, from $4.9 billion to $11.5 billion annually. ASSEMBLY recently asked two UAV production managers to discuss the challenges they’re faced with on the plant floor.
Today's unmanned military vehicles trace their roots to a Serbian immigrant. In 1898, Tesla was granted a U.S. patent for a “Method of and Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vessels or Vehicles.” The patent covered “any type of vessel or vehicle which is capable of being propelled and directed, such as a boat, a balloon or a carriage.”
Electronics manufacturers face numerous challenges. They must dissipate heat from today’s advanced components, and they need to shield sensitive digital circuits from internal and external emissions that can impair product performance. They also have to contain potentially harmful emissions from these same circuits.
The white paper, “Step by Step Towards Selecting the Perfect Workbench,” is an informative step-by-step guide to the factors to consider when specifying a workbench. You will learn exactly how to select the optimal workbenches or workstations for your business.
