What to Look for When Searching for a Metal Fabrication Company

March 31, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

What if you could make a strong, stable metal item for a cheap price?

Metal fabrication is the process of preparing metal for use in a production process. The manufacturing process begins with a design from a client. Then, the design is modified to meet the requirements.

Metal fabrication is crucial for manufacturing consumer and industrial goods. You can also get prototypes from metal fabricators. [Read more…] about What to Look for When Searching for a Metal Fabrication Company

Robots vs CNCs: What’s better for working metal?

March 23, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

By David Alatorre, CTO, Rivelin Robotics

The use of metal additive manufacturing has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, allowing for the creation of complex and intricate parts in a faster and more cost-effective manner.

However, essential post processing of these parts introduces time and financial constraints to the overall cost-per-part that can negate the benefits of additive manufacturing altogether. Support removal is the critical first step of post processing metal additive manufacturing parts, and it is a challenging one.

Today, supports are still essential for part fidelity during the manufacturing process, but they must be removed to achieve the required finished product with the intended shape, features and tolerances. [Read more…] about Robots vs CNCs: What’s better for working metal?

Types of Brazing Machines

February 20, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Brazing machines are a type of welding machine used to join two or more metal pieces together. They are used in a variety of industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, air-conditioner, and refrigerator Industry.

Brazing machines use specialized equipment to melt and fuse metal pieces together with a filler metal. They can be used for a wide range of metals, from aluminium to steel and copper.

There are several types of brazing machines available, each with different features and capabilities. In this article, you will get ideas of the different types of brazing machines including Automatic Brazing Machines, their uses, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

How to Bond Rubber to Aluminum 

February 13, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

How to Glue Rubber to Aluminum

The gluing rubber to aluminum procedure is easier than it might sound. Starting with the best and cleanest surface is a good idea. This will help ensure that the glue sticks well and that the finished product won’t have any issues.

For this project, you can use a variety of glues, but some are better for certain materials than others. For instance, if you are working with rubber, you should use an adhesive made for this material. A general-purpose adhesive should be adequate for use with aluminum.

Utilizing an aluminum-specific adhesive and ensuring that both surfaces are clean are the best ways to adhere the rubber to aluminum. [Read more…] about How to Bond Rubber to Aluminum

PickNik Robotics and CisLunar Industries to develop metal processing facility in space

November 18, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

PickNik Robotics, a robotics software and engineering services company, has agreed a collaboration with CisLunar Industries, a space technology company working on in-space metal processing.

The companies will explore how PickNik’s MoveIt Space software for robotic arms can help CisLunar with the precision feeding of metal materials into their in-space metal-processing system, Modular Space Foundry.

Workflows will include the dismantling, manipulation, transport, and transfer of simulated or actual metal debris into pieces of appropriate size and shape to be fed into the in-space metal processing system. The purpose is to support the processing and removal of space debris. [Read more…] about PickNik Robotics and CisLunar Industries to develop metal processing facility in space

New soft robot morphs from a ground to air vehicle using liquid metal

February 10, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Imagine a small autonomous vehicle that could drive over land, stop, and flatten itself into a quadcopter. The rotors start spinning, and the vehicle flies away.

Looking at it more closely, what do you think you would see? What mechanisms have caused it to morph from a land vehicle into a flying quadcopter? You might imagine gears and belts, perhaps a series of tiny servo motors that pulled all its pieces into place.

If this mechanism was designed by a team at Virginia Tech led by Michael Bartlett, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, you would see a new approach for shape changing at the material level. [Read more…] about New soft robot morphs from a ground to air vehicle using liquid metal
