Ensuring high quality is relatively easy when all you have to do is assemble one small product at a very high volume. Such an item will likely be produced on a high-speed automated assembly system. Assuming there are no issues with the incoming parts, the system will consistently produce perfect assemblies all day long.
Specifying an air cylinder might seem to be an overwhelming task when you consider all the shapes, sizes and types of cylinder products available today. A new white paper delineates the spectrum of available standard options that can quite often be your key to avoiding the need for a totally custom cylinder.
Nexen Group, a supplier of precision motion-control components, is embracing Industry 4.0 technology throughout its product line, providing capability for remote monitoring and control, human-machine collaboration, real-time yield optimization, smart energy consumption and predictive monitoring.
A typical assembly plant will invest a good deal of money in electric and pneumatic tools to install fasteners. Given the sophistication of today's power tools, engineers might be tempted to discount the most critical component of the fastening process: the bits and sockets that drive the fastener.
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.
