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

The Digiforce 9307 monitors processes in which precisely defined functional relationships between two or more measured quantities need to be demonstrated.

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.

This eBook series will help manufacturers navigate the path to automation, whether it be a robotic screwdriving cell or a multistation automated assembly line.

For Ekoligens in Kungälv, Sweden, sustainability is not just an important part of operations: It’s the basis for its business idea. 

Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. It’s as strong as some steels, but 45 percent lighter. Titanium is also prized for its corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, crack resistance, and ability to withstand moderately high temperatures without creeping.

Any assembly that turns, rotates or pivots—gearboxes, bearings, levers, reclining mechanisms—is typically tested to ensure that it works as intended. 

Initiated in 2004, the Assembly Plant of the Year award showcases world-class production facilities in America and the people, products, and processes that make them successful. 

NASHUA, NH—Greenerd Press & Machine Co. has developed a 2,500-ton compression molding press with 10-foot-square heated platens that can maintain a temperature of 500 F with a tolerance of ±5 degrees. 

Exhaust from diesel engines is a major source of air pollution. Nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and other pollutants from diesel exhaust are known to impair human health, causing cancer, heart and lung damage, and impaired mental functioning.
