Coherix, Inc., a global leader in Three-Dimensional (3D) Machine Vision, today announced Dwight Carlson, CEO and Chairman of Coherix, will be speaking at the Integr8™ conference on November 9 in Detroit.

In the panel discussion, Mr. Carlson will be sharing his expertise in 3D vision technology for assembly error proofing in the automotive, semiconductor and electronics industries. 3D vision technology is increasingly adopted by manufacturers in their assembly process to ensure assembly correctness, because 3D machine vision has superior reliability and robustness compared with temperamental 2D techniques and other manual approaches.
"Im honored to be invited as a speaker at the terrific event hosted by Automation Alley," said Mr. Carlson. "3D vision technology is revolutionizing how companies "see" their manufacturing processes. If robots are the arms and legs, then 3D vision is the eyes of automation. I look forward to sharing the critical technology at the Integr8 conference."
Integr8 is a new cross-discipline global conference focused on Industry 4.0 technologies, which is expected to attract over 500 manufacturing and technology professionals from across the region and the world to discuss cybersecurity, big data and artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, robotics, the Industrial Internet of Things, cloud computing and modeling, simulation and visualization.
"As Michigans leading technology and manufacturing business association, Automation Alley is proud to present this one-of-a-kind global gathering, which comes at a pivotal time for the manufacturing industry," said Tom Kelly, Automation Alleys executive director and CEO. "Our goal in developing Integr8 was to create a global event centered around the people and technologies shaping our future. Integr8 is about Industry 4.0 education, but its also a call to action for manufacturers as they keep pace with rapid change on their factory floors."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
