Many assembled products feature metal or plastic bearings, which enable linear or rotational movement while reducing friction and handling stress.

Flow and leak testing are required for any medical device that brings a substance to or from the body. Flow testing ensures that there are no blockages and the substance being delivered can make it through.

For decades, batteries have powered everything from toys and toothbrushes to personal electronics and power tools. But, that's just scratching the surface. During the next decade, advanced batteries will be mass-produced for a wide variety of new applications on land, sea and air.

"Scratch-resistant plastic parts" is more than a phrase with great appeal to car buyers. It also presents a great challenge to automotive Tier 1s to make sure these parts perform as promised in the real world.

Manufacturers love established assembly line technologies not only because they produce expected results. But, also because they occasionally provide an unexpected benefit.

For many years, pet food manufacturers have used machine vision software to verify the presence of unique characters, codes, colors and graphic shapes on packaging for dog and cat food. Today, however, these companies can complement this process by also verifying the presence of a dog or cat image on the packaging using deep learning vision software.

Myriad automotive components are checked for leaks, including turbochargers, oil filters and radiators. However, leak testing doesn’t end with the suppliers of those components.

Every person chases a dream, but only the Dream Chaser (DC) spacecraft system has a final destination of the International Space Station (ISS) nearly 250 miles above the Earth.

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) have been around for quite a while, and there are hundreds of choices out there.

Machine builders, system integrators and assembly-line workers can use the ASI 35 leak detector in integral and localized test procedures or a combination of both.
