Getting the measure of etching
When manufacturing components from metals there are numerous options available to design engineers, some traditional, some relatively new and innovative. However, when component characteristics are very precise, complex, and high degrees of accuracy are required, the number of viable production manufacturing processes is greatly reduced.
Advanced manufacturing products to be presented at EuroBLECH
Lantek, as part of its drive to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability through its Metal Digital Transformation technology, is introducing three new products specifically aimed towards the sheet metal and fabrication industries.
3D-printed placenta simulates structure of membrane
In order to better understand important biological membranes, it is necessary to explore new methods. Researchers at TU Wien (Vienna) have succeeded in creating an artificial placental barrier on a chip, using a high-resolution 3D printing process.The placenta has an essential and highly complex task: it must ensure the exchange of important substances between the mother and her unborn child, whilst simultaneously blocking other substances from p...
Promoting integrated digitalisation at AMB
Integrated digitalisation for Industry 4.0, holistic automation solutions, additive manufacturing, and technology excellence in the die & mould and medical sectors will be presented on DMG Mori’s stand in Hall 10 at the AMB exhibition this year.For Industry 4.0, the core topic is the proprietary CELOS app-based interface for mapping digital workflows.
Measurement for large-size street and industrial LED luminaires
MKS Instruments has announced the OphirFluxGageFG1500, the newest member of the FluxGage family of compact measurement systems for LED luminaires. The FG1500 features an aperture size of 144 x 64cm, allowing for photometric measurement of large-size street and industrial luminaires, LED flat panels, and troffer lights. Photometric measurements include total luminous flux (up to 80,000lm), spectrum and colour parameters (CCT, CRI, TM-30), and flic...
Manual 2D inspection becomes faster and more accurate
If manual inspection of two dimensional components on a measuring machine, optical profile projector or measuring microscope is too time consuming or not sufficiently precise, the new QUADRA-CHEK 2000 from HEIDENHAIN aims to solve the problem.
Quick assembly connector in limited space
With the angled geometry, the new screw-in variants of the Han 3 A connectors are engineered to be space-saving and flat, for use on machines, control cabinets or terminal boxes.The external thread on the connector with lock nut supports quick and uncomplicated assembly. The angled connector element can be swivelled in all directions and even be rotated through 360°.
Screw-in connectors feature lock nuts for a quick assembly
Thanks to angled geometry, the new screw-in variants of the Han3A connectors are engineered to be space-saving and flat, for use on machines, control cabinets or terminal boxes.
3D Systems help bring the Great Pagoda back to life
If a building has been around for 256 years, there is a chance it isn’t going to look as good as it originally did. This is certainly the case with the Great Pagoda in the middle of Kew Gardens, which was originally built for Princess Augusta back in 1762. But last year the Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) implemented a restoration project for the 72 dragons that originally adorned the roofs.
Configure wear resistant gear wheels in sixty seconds
It has been announced that igus has launched a new online configurator that enables engineers to configure gear wheels in just one minute. Once ordered via the web shop, the gear wheels are 3D printed from iglidur I6 material for quick dispatch.
