Clever Seam Design Makes the Coiled Pin Perfect for Hinges
One of the more efficient ways to make a hinge uses coiled spring pins. These are manufactured with a seam which is better for hinges than the gap or slot of slotted spring pins. The seam is inherent to coiled pins because they are rolled with more than one wrap of material. This white paper [...]
Encoder Outputs Shouldn’t Fail
Seems obvious, doesn’t it, that the heartbeat of your process shouldn’t stop, leaving you without speed or distance feedback? If you wanted open loop performance, you wouldn’t have installed an encoder at all! But outputs do stop working, for many OEMs and industrial users, leaving them with a complex troubleshooting problem: Where did their encoder [...]
The Value of PCB Manufacturing Quality During Prototype: You Get More Than You Pay For
In a recent research document, Michelle Boucher, from The Aberdeen Group, writes: “The number of engineering changes is also a top challenge of PCB design. A strategy that enables designers to obtain early insight into behavior, allows them to catch problems earlier in the process. It also makes it easier to look for opportunities to [...]
Six Principles for Building Cost-Effective Wind Turbine Generators
The six principles are intended for wind-turbine manufacturers that are expanding in the growing U.S. market. Following the principles will assist the companies in delivering cost-effective, safer equipment that is compliant with appropriate standards. The paper is authored by Industry Consultant Dave Sachaetz and Safety Program Manager Steve Ludwid, both with Rockwell Automation. Click [...]

Absolute Length Gauges for Shop-Floor Metrology
The conditions surrounding production environment metrology place special demands on position measuring systems used for workpiece inspection in shop-floor metrology. The very principle of inductive systems involves disadvantages such as temperature sensitivity or nonlinear behavior. A length gauge recently developed by HEIDENHAIN in Traunreut, Germany, now combines the benefits of incremental optical devices and absolute [...]
