Composite components: advancing automated machinery
In an athletic sprint race, a split second can mean the difference between winning and losing. It’s been shown that athletes who sprint 40 meters wearing spiked shoes can finish 0.11 seconds faster than those wearing jogging shoes. Just like in athletics, using the right components in automated machinery can have a significant impact on performance. Here, Robert Glass, Head of Marketing atExel Composites, exploreshow using composite compone...
Securing a virus-inhibiting environment with composites
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to a revaluation of hygiene practices across all countries and sectors. New, more stringent sanitation procedures have been implemented to help minimise transmission. However, developments in materials science could play a role in stopping the spread of viruses even further. Here, Kim Sjödahl, Senior Vice President for Exel Composites, explains how composites enhanced with the anti-viral Protector soluti...
Corrosion protection saves money in automotive tooling
When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components. For example, corrosion on plastic injection molds for auto interiors or on gauging equipment for quality inspection can lead to costly repairs or losses if not prevented.
Ten tips for proper bearing maintenance
What do clocks, skateboards and industrial machinery have in common? They all rely on bearings to maintain their smooth rotational movements. However, to achieve reliability, they must be maintained and handled correctly. This will ensure a long bearing service life, preventing many common issues that can result in bearing failure and costly down time. Here Chris Johnson, Managing Director atSMB Bearings, explains ten top tips for optimal bearing...
