Selecting the correct deburring method to optimise efficiency
Nigel Willcock, Technical Specialist, Abrasive Systems Division,3M, looks at how deburring has evolved and how metal finishers can ensure they are selecting the correct deburring method to optimise efficiency.
Gas station canopy LED saves 70% in energy
ATG Electronics (ATG) is proud to introduce the DesignLights Consortium (DLC)-qualified Lucent Nebula LED gas station canopy, a low-profile surface mount retrofit fixture for fuel service applications. The slim 3” profile enables versatile mounting and easy retrofit installation into existing single- or double-skin canopies.
Dirty Water Flow Meter Improves Reliability of Glass Bottle Making Plant
Titan Enterprises reports on development of a ‘dirty water’ ultrasonic flowmeter for Graphoidal Developments Ltd.
Metal isn’t the only way
Metal is the traditional choice for enclosures in industrial environments, where knocks and collisions are likely to occur. However, it is prone to corrosion in the event that a dent or scrape damages its protective coating; it requires greater insulation methods to render it safe; and it is heavy and therefore hard to install. Furthermore it is relatively valuable as scrap, and therefore a target for thieves, and it requires greater insulation m...
Next-generation capping heads
The rustproof ROBA-capping head with their continuous, impact-free torque, apply screw caps made of plastic with a maximum of precision and repetitive accuracy. mayr power transmission has now developed a new, extremely wear-resistant and almost maintenance-free generation of capping heads – for minimum downtimes and maximum plant availability.
Flexcrete Corrosion Protection for Europe’s Largest Natural Harbour
A long-term corrosion protection solution has been provided by Flexcrete Technologies Limited for sheet piled walls in Holes Bay in Poole Harbour, said to be the largest natural harbour in Europe.
Test instruments help stem water ingress
Waterproofing products is not a simple task. Water is easy to keep out – but water vapour permeates through every material – and in doing so causes several billion pounds of waste to UK industry every year. Versaperm has developed a range of testing instrumentation to help companies overcome the problem and measure permeability for both material samples and complex finished products or components.
Structural electronics set to make its mark, says report
Structural electronics (SE) is one of the most important emerging technologies this century. It is all about multi-functionality; dumb structural components that traditionally provided mechanical stability are now bestowed with electronic and electric functionality – aircraft fuselage, car body, even plastic coating on a cable and the humble printed circuit board.
