Force Feedback Reveals Actionable Data in Manufacturing
Countless variables can impact the production process. Among these variables are changes in force, where the slightest contact can make a major impact on efficiency, quality, and cost. The manufacturing process is never as simple as going from A to B, but tactile force sensors can help … [Read more...]
Saving energy and service cost with electric linear systems
Today we are seeing a major shift from pneumatic linear actuators to electromechanical systems. This is because of high maintenance requirements of pneumatic and hydraulic systems which results in long machine downtimes and lost productivity. But can electrical linear systems truly fill in as a … [Read more...]
Advantages of using maintenance-free, electromechanical linear systems
Most certainly the initial cost of ownership for pneumatic linear components are lower than electrical alternatives, however in most cases the user bears the higher operating and maintenance costs. The quick and easy retooling of production plants is becoming more and more important. By pressing a … [Read more...]
Preventing Automotive Backover Accidents
The importance of automobile safety has driven several key innovations over the last 50 years. It all started with the seat belt in 1966 when the U.S. Congress authorized the Federal Government to set safety standards for new cars. By 1968, seat belts, padded dashboards and other safety features … [Read more...]
