Virtual reality, augmented reality, AI, robots and digitalization are some of the technological advances being used to help improve health and safety in the manufacturing industry.
Innovation continues at a great pace in the area of plating automation. The latest development comes in the form of a fully portable automated electroplating system, able to be moved directly to a specific component for in situ plating.
Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. offers its new EchoTherm™ Programmable Digital Stirring Hot Plate for use in chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, biochemical, and other laboratories.
Multiple industries rely on process pumps for handling a variety of substances, such as solvents. One of the primary obstacles is keeping them contained within the pump and the associated systems. While solvents are not simple substances to process, there is one pump technology capable of handling them seamlessly. This article looks at sliding vane pumps and why they are one of the best-suited process technologies for solvents.
In industrial settings, noxious airborne contaminants from a variety of sources can jeopardize indoor air quality, compromising worker health, productivity, and even regulatory compliance unless the air is sufficiently purified when ventilation alone will not solve the problem. This article explores some solutions.
Thin films as polycrystalline coatings are used in many different application areas. As new applications for thin films emerge and existing applications become mainstream, the technology of deposition is always advancing, and the materials deposited are always being improved. This article provides some example data and analysis showing the performance of one technology for studying polycrystalline coatings.
Read three project case studies to see how an “oven/oxidizer” combination system can be implemented in almost any manufacturing facility that requires both process heating equipment and an air pollution control system.
A mechanical engineering company that produces hydraulic cylinders recently automated parts of its coatings process. Up until now, surface coating of the cylinders, crucial for robust corrosion protection, was done manually. The company invested approximately 4 million euros in the construction of a new production hall, including an innovative liquid coating system with application, dosing and mixing technology.
