Schunk introduces fast depanelling machine

June 11, 2018 by Anna

Schunk Electronic Solutions has developed Magnoplate – a universal workpiece holder for depanelling machines that is claimed to speed up the process.

Depanelling is the process when product-relevant PCBs produced together on a board are broken up to be inserted into the product during assembly.

The workpiece holder of Magnoplate  places magnetic carrier pins with a milling head on a support plate. This results in lightning-fast brackets for new assembly groups.

Many years ago, there was an animated film called A Bug’s Life which made the line “Don’t look at the light” famous. It was uttered by some sort of flying insect as a warning to a fellow flying insect who was gravitating towards a lamp which would inevitably harm it. The line was mainly funny because of the response, which was: “I can’t help it.” 

This exchange could be said to be at the heart of the film Bright, which was released towards the end of last year and stars Will Smith as a cop in some sort of futuristic nightmare world called Los Angeles, which is full of street gangs and what look like genetically modified humanoids called Orcs and Elves.

Oh, that’s what Los Angeles looks like now? I see. As with many films like this, “futuristic” is either a relative or irrelevant term.  [Read more…] about Film review: Don’t look at the ‘Bright’ light. I can’t help it

June 11, 2018 by Anna

Fans of the DJI Phantom drone can look forward to the release of the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 (P4P V2.0), the latest variation of the Phantom 4 Pro.

The P4P V2.0 uses DJI’s OcuSync transmission technology for high-resolution and low-latency digital video transmission and improves the flight experience by reducing propeller noise by up to 60%, says the company.

Users with the first-person-view experience can directly connect the P4P V2.0 with their DJI Goggles for an immersive FPV flying experience.
