Certified Electrical Safety Engineer (CESE) is an internationally recognized professional certification offered in partnership with SGS-TÜV Saar, the worldwide leading company for safety testing, auditing, verification, and certification. By passing the certification exam, you will confirm your expertise as a machine safety professional.
In the popular imagination, robots are large, dumb machines for doing dull, muscular, repetitive tasks with precision and accuracy. That’s only part of today’s robotics world. Robots now come in many sizes and configurations, with two to seven axes.
There are plenty of burning questions in the manufacturing industry. “How do we increase flexibility?” “How can we ensure consistent quality and accuracy throughout?” “What’s the best way to minimize the impact of recalls?” And the the big one: “What will the factory of the future look like?”
Sensing technology has a major presence in manufacturing machinery. It provides the foundation for maintaining consistent quality and detecting any lapses in machine performance. If subtle changes in the physical properties of a machine can cause it to fail, then the sensors responsible for detecting those changes can save manufacturers lengthy downtime and repair costs.
Diverse Electronics is pleased to announce it is now authorized to distribute Ideal-tek, a leading Swiss manufacturer of high-precision hand tools for the electronics, semiconductor, microscopy, laboratory, medical device, watchmaking and jewellery markets.
It was winter 2009, and Samuel Bouchard was on a mission to sell his startup’s first product, a robotic gripper, to the automotive manufacturers of Michigan.
In the next ten years, more and more people around the world will be working with robots. Automation is becoming mainstream and is finding its way into more and more areas. Easy access to robotics:
“Innovative automation with a system.” For HandlingTech Automations-Systeme GmbH, the slogan says it all. Founded in 1994 as an automation newcomer in his parents’ basement turned parts business, Managing Director Jörg Hutzel’s family-owned company has developed into a veritable robotics player.
A project, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, formed the basis for the research institute ICM e.V. to open a training and application center (“SchAz”) in Chemnitz.
Robotic implementation is becoming more prevalent in the Food & Beverage industry, especially in our current climate. And when focusing specifically on primary food handling (handling of raw, unpackaged food) there is an increased concentration regarding the utilization of robotics to maintain the hygienic demands of raw food handling.
From electronics manufacturing to automotive assembly, grippers have become an important part of material handling processes in many industries. Their recent growth is tied to the rise of robotics—including the need for robots to take on specialty tasks and handle increasingly complex workpieces.
Before diving deep into air dryers, it’s important to understand the components involved in an industrial air system. Air dryers are one of many elements that comprise the installation even before providing key airflow to your numerous machines.
A local equipment repair facility was facing a huge problem which was costing them thousands of dollars in repairs to their own equipment and delaying projects: water in their pneumatic airlines. Fortunately for them, there was a simple solution at hand. This repair facility made use of a many pneumatic-powered air tools and machines.
In its simplest form a pneumatic system uses compressed air to complete work. It starts with a compressed air source which is most often a compressor. A typical compressor will convert electrical energy to potential energy in the form of compressed air. It is this potential energy that is stored and distributed through the air lines for a variety of purposes.
For today’s industrial pneumatic systems, automation and efficiency continue to be the driving factors in design. Automation in pneumatics incorporates a variety of design strategies and considerations.
More and more consumers want personalized products tailored precisely to their needs – from customized bicycles to self-mixed muesli and individualized printed Coke bottles to unique travel suitcases. The trend does not stop at the home either. And so kitchen equipment should also be designed as individually as possible.
