The press-and-gauge approach to press-fit assembly can create perfect parts every time. However, for this approach to work, fixture design cannot be an afterthought. As sophisticated as our sensors, presses and software are, a perfect pressing process still requires a good deal of forethought. Following these four steps will ensure that your pressing process achieves the results you desire.
For linear motion systems in virtually any manufacturing process, understanding your application's requirements completely is imperative to avoid costly redesign and start-up headaches.
Manufacturers need to assure their customers that their products will function as promised. The Orbitform Data Logging system is a simple solution for suppliers looking to export and log data created during an industrial process.
Automation is continuing to increase on the factory floor and the need for more data is placing new demands on Ethernet cables. These system specific cables must be able to hold their own in harsh factory environments while still supporting high data rates.
Most, if not all manufacturers big and small are embarking upon the digital transformation journey - even though it is estimated that 70-84% of the attempts are likely to fail.
The success of IIoT initiatives depends on the integration of smart, connected devices. However, manufacturers face a significant challenge of how to connect to legacy production equipment that is not equipped with standard IIoT interfaces.
Today's manufacturing requires companies to adapt to working with newer, lightweight materials including aluminum and carbon fiber. As assembly moves away from spot welding and toward new joining processes using flow type screws and more flexible feeding systems, new technologies and strategies must be employed.
No consumer wants a defective product. At best, a loose fastener can lead a consumer to question product quality. At worst, it could lead to a recall. By focusing on four key aspects of their fastening process - durability, ergonomics, scalability and traceability - manufacturers can re-engineer their lines to ensure zero-defect production.
Automotive manufacturers primarily use two-component waterborne, reactive hot-melt, and solvent-borne adhesives for laminating TPO, PVC and leather skins to PE and PP foams.
