How Manufacturing Can Rise from the Ashes of the Old Norms, Stronger and Better
From challenging times comes opportunity, and British manufacturers must embrace this in order to navigate through the 'old norms' into the 'new now'. Below I explore the key trends emerging in the sector.
New Tools, New Opportunities and a Commitment to Advancing Change: >> What's Driving Change in the Manufacturing Industry?
Since the Great Recession rocked the world in 2007, the manufacturing industry has enjoyed a slow but steady resurgence. However, as Coronavirus wreaks havoc on the global economy, it's clear that the days of inexorable growth have come to a close.
Will Manufacturing Recover After Coronavirus? China Says 'Yes'
While nothing is absolute yet, there have been promising signs at the heart of the outbreak. As China's production starts to pick up steam again, it could signify the revitalization of the industry.
Manufacturers Step Up to Produce Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and Respirators in a Hurry
Shortages of Ventilators and PPE has become a worldwide problem. Many of our manufacturing partners and other companies are stepping up to help with some innovative solutions. Here are just a few of the efforts being reported to us.
Control & Automation with Vision™ V700 for Packaging & Bagging Systems
When a major producer and packager of balanced feed for livestock such as poultry, swine, and horses, house pets, and fish farming needs turned to them for a an efficient, fast, and reliable packaging solution, IGCP Engineering turned to Unitronics.
Additive Manufacturing for Production: Benchmarking Against Traditional Alternatives
For a growing number of applications, 3D printing for batch production offers clear economic and added-value advantages- acting as a spur to innovation and enabling the production of end-use products impossible or uneconomical to produce with the use of alternative methods.
The first example of "Collaborative Industry" in the Italian ceramic manufacturing district has been set up with Ceramiche Mariner thanks to System Ceramics' Prime.
The complete digitalization of processes, the use of shared resources and the efficient management of data are fundamental elements for the development of a new industrial model designed for flexibility and sustainability.
Reduce Down Time with Torque Limiters
With wood being one of the few renewable resources, its use continues to grow. But the automation of processing the raw material comes with its own challenges. By their very nature, wooden logs are inconsistent in size and density.
COVID-19 takes digitizing the factory floor from inevitable to urgent
Amidst massive uncertainty, one thing is crystal clear: business-as-usual is no longer an option. Now is the time when digitizing the factory floor becomes critical for survival.
Risk Mitigation in Micro Molding
In applications where overall tolerances are measured in microns, there are various ways that micro molders mitigate the risks associated with each step of the design-to-manufacturing cycle.
How Technology Can Create Stronger Relationships Between Manufacturers and Customers
Customer service relationships apply to the supply chain in many ways. A manufacturer is in the middle of the chain and develops the products or services that then go on to the distributor, retailer and consumers.
MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF BIOPRINTING
3D bioprinting offers opportunities such as testing treatment for diseases using artificially affected tissues, and through using bioink, it's much easier to solve problems on a patient-specific level, promoting simpler operations.
Clayton & McKervey offers tips for business survival during COVID-19, including utilization of "rolling 13-week cash flow analysis"
The realities presented by the COVID-19 health crisis have businesses focused on survival. The most important step to take after ensuring the safety of the team is to protect the company's cash position to the degree that's possible.
How Are Mechatronics and Industrial Automation Different?
Mechatronics and industrial automation are two fields that overlap to some extent. But they have their differences, too. Here's a definition of each, plus how they benefit the manufacturing sector.
LK HORIZONTAL-ARM CMM INSPECTS NEXT-GENERATION AUTOMOTIVE FIXTURES
RapidFit modular gaging and holding fixtures with 3D printed locators provide major benefits in vehicle manufacture.

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.
