The new range is suitable for a wide range of applications across all individual disciplines of machine and plant…
In an industrial setting pumps never work in isolation and are always a part of a larger system. Grundfos has invested heavily in the R&D of its products. It was 7 decades ago when they came up with their first pump, solely built for the purpose of moving liquid from point A to point B. Further developing on the technology, they introduced the E-Solution pumps, whose integrated controls enabled the pumps to adapt to changing demands. This helped further smoothen the pumps and make them more energy efficient. Fast forward to 2007, Grundfos pumps were the first company to couple…
A Madrid, Spain-based precision engineering business specialising in complex parts for aerospace and defence applications has invested in a Renishaw REVO® five-axis measuring head and probe system. The change has resulted in a reduction in inspection time by as much as a factor of 5, ensuring quality control and inspection keep up with its high-productivity CNC machine tools. It’s true that in many ways making things is getting easier, at least as far as the technology is concerned. For example, machine tools are simpler to program and operate, rapid prototyping means that product development is faster and cheaper than ever,…

Design of fixture is the key to effective utilization of machine tools. Basics of fixture design if not implemented correctly, results in poor productivity & quality problems. Set-up time and cycle time reduction, increased accuracy on components and deskilling the job setting operation are the obvious advantages of a good fixture design. A complete process of fixture design should be carried out from concept to finish which includes Pre-design activities like Design input, machine details, component drawings and conceptualization, process planning, accuracy consideration, cycle time estimation, POKAYOKE, 3D modeling of parts and assembly using popular design CAD tools and preparing…
Completely new possibilities in grinding with metal bonded CBN and Diamond wheels: This is made possible by WireDress® from STUDER.

In the automotive industry, there are measurement tasks which require simultaneous detection of several measurement values or three-dimensional detection of measurement objects within short cycle times. For example, when assembling the windshield, a scanCONTROL laser line sensor is used to detect detailed distance values. The automotive industry is the sector where most industrial robots are used. Therefore, the requirements regarding cycle time, degree of automation and repeatability are increasing. In production and joining processes from the shock absorber to the front spoiler and the lights, many steps must be carried out during which different parts are joined. Previously, the production processes…
