Thus, the need for improved performance and reduced downtime makes testing an essential component of the work. [Read more…] about 5 Reasons Compressed Air Testing Is Essential in Manufacturing
Epoxy coatings technology has undergone reasonable advancements since its inception in the 1950s. After US restrictions on some Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the 70s, single protective coatings could no longer meet solvent content requirements, hence they were discontinued.
Thankfully, this further strengthened the position of epoxy coatings as an optimal material choice for several industries.
In recent years, epoxy coatings have become the mainstay element of the protective coatings industry because of their superior chemical and physical properties-epoxy coatings are excellent adhesives, corrosion-resistant, and possess high mechanical strength.

Plasma cutters are very powerful machines that have the ability to cut through metal. Some of them are powerful enough to go through very thick pieces. In fact, they can go through them like a knife through butter.
Plasma cutters are an essential piece of equipment for some welders. In fact, it does the complete opposite of a welding machine. Instead of fusing pieces of metal together, a plasma cutter is used to tear it apart.
During some point of work, it is necessary to cut through some pieces that you don’t need or when you are trying to shape something together. [Read more…] about Robotic versus manual plasma cutting
In smart manufacturing, measurement tasks are more challenging and call for increasingly advanced technologies.

CNC machines provide high-performance levels for cutting a wide variety of parts and components, and they usually remain in operation for lengthy periods.
Like any machinery, to ensure your CNC machine lasts longer and maintains its quality of accuracy, it is essential to give it a regular service. Read on to find out how to take care of your CNC machine. [Read more…] about How to Take Care of Your CNC Machine
Although technically the opportunity has been available for many years, the level of automation in the furniture-making industry is a relatively low, if you consider robotic and autonomous types of automation as used by Moduform, for example.
Of course, basic automation technology of the type represented by electric saws, routers, drills and so on are widespread – not many people use hand drills nowadays. But if we put those kind of power tools aside in the “electrification” category, with no autonomous functionalities, then we can say there’s not really much automation in furniture-making.
It’s not going to be like that forever, in large part because of the emergence of collaborative robots, which, as readers of this website will know, are robots which are smaller, lighter and specifically designed and certified to be used directly by a human worker. [Read more…] about New tools of the trade: Can robots revive craftsmanship in furniture making?
