MIDDLEBURY, IN—Grand Design Recreational Vehicles is recalling more than 1,200 model year 2025-2026 Lineage motorhomes. The epoxy adhesive securing solar panels to the roof may fail, allowing the panels to detach.
Some 14 suppliers of adhesives, dispensing and curing technology will be displaying their wares at this year's ASSEMBLY Show. Here’s a look at some of what you’ll see.
Whether you need a UV-cure adhesive to assemble a medical device or a two-part epoxy to encapsulate electronics, you’ll find it at The ASSEMBLY Show South. Here’s a look at some of what you’ll see.
Electric motors in cars are omnipresent, but they are also well hidden. In today’s late model vehicles, more than 30 motors are typically used to power a variety of applications, including ABS pumps, central locking systems, exterior mirrors, seat adjusters, window regulators and windshield wipers.
Implantable orthopedic devices and the wireless sensors that monitor them are highly specialized products that regularly come into contact with body tissues and fluids.
Epoxies form strong bonds that can take thousands of newtons to break apart. However, the strength of the epoxy is directly related to the surface area and cleanliness of the substrates.
Two-component epoxies are suitable for structural bonding and protective potting. For many industrial applications, the time lapse before reaching initial strength has been deemed a major disadvantage, until now.
From cameras to pacemakers, hybrid race cars to solar-powered ships, capacitors are indispensable in both industrial and everyday life. In electrical systems, they ensure that voltage peaks are smoothed out and fault currents are eliminated.
Every action in life involves a trade-off: The gaining of one benefit at the expense of another, to best meet the needs of the situation at hand. When the situation involves high-volume bonding, sealing or gasketing, manufacturers rely on UV-cure adhesives because they allow on-demand and quick curing (1 to 5 seconds after light exposure).
