Guiding lines for part modelling
 |
The CAD software has changed the way components are designed in the last five years, but definitely one of the objectives for every designer is the design efficiency. Simple guide lines can save a lot of time in the designing and redesigning procedure. Read this article and learn how. |
Using fiber-optic technology for custom sensoring
 |
Although current automation industry has a huge variety of sensors for every application, there are times that seems no sensor can fit to a specific application. The fiber optic technology offers many simple and reliable solutions. |
A simple and precise indexing device
 |
Probably the simplest and most precise indexing device with standard parts is the one using a drawn cup roller clutch and an air cylinder. Read this article to find out why. |
Round belts
 |
The round belts are used abroad in packaging and conveying equipment. They can offer many solutions (fast, easily and with low cost) when facing problems for handling small items, or transmitting low torques. Read this article to find how. |
Industrial packaging
 |
Conventional packaging materials and techniques are not protecting industrial equipment and electronics from moisture efficiently. Drying agent, such as silica gel is useless when the items are exposed for long time in moisture. Using laminate box bag is the best solution. |
Hand wheels and manually operated drives in assembly machines
 |
Manually operated drive mechanisms are used in assembly machines in order to perform an anti-jamming failure, or to check the mechanical movements during calibrating and maintenance. |
Vacuum clamping devices and grippers
 |
Vacuum clamping is suitable for light machining of thin and flexible parts, with awkward shapes. The vacuum grippers are used for transferring light weight parts for stacking, packaging and general orientation operations. |
Cam actuated power sources for clamp post
 |
The cam actuated power source for clamp post is capable for delivering high push-pull loads with relative small movement. The high push-pull loads are needed for the large clamping forces which holding the workpiece during machining. This article describes some design versions of this kind of power source. |
Timber constructions for packaging and transportation
 |
The timber is a native material which is used frequently in commerce for packaging and transportation. Timber constructions like timber boxes, pallets, stillages, and crates ones are often used for the transportation of items, machine tools, and equipment. |
Eliminate the excessive pressure with springs
 |
During the clamping operation excessive pressure is created between the mating parts, the links, the pushers, the clamp posts, etc. This excessive pressure is responsible for over clamping or causing damage to the fixture. |
