Embedded CFD Helps Reduce Number of Thermal Prototypes from Up to 12 to 1
Azonix used FloEFD software from the Mentor Graphics Corporation Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly Flomerics) to reduce the number of thermal prototypes required from up to 12 to 1 on its new Terra embedded computer. “FloEFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software enables design engineers without a fluid analysis background to perform thermal simulation,” said James Young, Design Engineer for Azonix. “The result is that we got the ...
Lapp's Cable Entry Systems are Tested Through and Through
Cables often have to be inserted in control cabinets or housings using what are generically described as cable entry systems. Lapp covers practically every application by offering two different systems - cable glands and connectors.
Running Rings Round Steering Design Challenges
Tolerance rings are simple in concept, inexpensive, compact and easy to use yet when integrated in vehicle steering column assemblies, they can greatly enhance performance and safety while reducing overall costs. Chris Needes explains.
New AXR Series Two-Axis Rotary Assembly enables high throughput micromachining of complex components
Aerotech's new AXR series 2-axis rotary micropositioning assemblies combine yaw and tilt axes that enable high speed and high throughput micromachining of complex 3D structures such as MEMS components. As part of the enabling technology for many microfabrication techniques, the rotary assembly provides an accurate platform for positioning and manipulation from a precision aligned hemispherical surface.

DP Seals helps Waters Corporation launch new family of LC/MS instruments
DP Seals, has helped Waters Corporation create an award-winning family of LC/MS instruments. Accuracy and on-time delivery of the seal sets were critical to the launch dates for this new instrument technology.
NVision Scanners Provide Crucial Evidence
Materials Analysis, Inc., has used NVision’s non-contact MAXOS measurement system and HandHeld Scanner to provide critical assistance in a number of recent product liability cases. “The high levels of accuracy provided by non-contact scanning can often rule out hypothesized causes of accidents. In one case they even served as a benchmark to prove that a defect was too small to be adequately documented, preventing the evidence from being irrev...
