Configuring bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module

A simple but working methodology about configuring the bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module is described in this article. The CAD user with a simple and workable method can accomplish correspondence between the CAD software and a CNC bending press.

Non-standard metric screw thread geometry calculation

Numerous applications require non-standard metric screw threads. Although non-standard screw threads should be avoided, when there is lack of an appropriate thread size many manufacturers (optical instruments, small size precision parts) use them. This article describes how to calculate such screw threads.

Sensor protection

Sensors are used almost for every application in industry. Sensors make our job easier since they provide us many solutions. Sensors perform very well if and only machine designers provide protection against workshop hazards. This article describes a few design principles for sensor protection.
