Desktop Metal and Concurrent Technologies Corporation to Advance 3D Printed Sand-Casting Mold Technology through DLA Contract Worth a Potential $15 Million. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has awarded Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) a prime contract worth a potential $15 million to demonstrate the practicality of producing obsolete critical castings through 3D printed sand-casting mold technology. In addition, the project will further develop the science and technology of 3D printed sand-casting molds.
Actemium Automation Yorkshire in Huddersfield was chosen to automate the control system for a power generating station’s biomass transfer and storage processes.
"Compact, reliable, connected, upgradable, green. Those would be my priorities in any technology these days". Article by Stelios Manousakis, Digital Technology Director at BOBST. And the more high-tech you go, the more these criteria have to be made a reality – indeed, they are practically inseparable from each other, and the foundation for successful and sustainable innovations.
Demanding die-cast components, such as structural components in the automotive sector (megacastings), place special requirements on the temperature control, in particular on the cooling of so-called hotspots. The jetPulse system from REGLOPLAS offers a reliable and economical solution for cooling hotspots in a die casting die with pinpoint accuracy and reliability.
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras use spectral wavelength filtering and Stirling cooler cold-filtering technology to visualize the infrared absorption of gases such as methane (CH4) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), carbon dioxide (CO2), and refrigerants. FLIR produces several camera models, each with a filter that matches the spectral absorption of the gas its meant to visualize.
The packaging and transportation of bulk products brings some challenges to the packaging and bagging industry, especially to the manufacturers of the machines.
The motor is a core component of any household vacuum cleaner unit. The motor directly affects the suction force and total weight of the vacuum cleaner. We developed a motor that weighs approximately 45% less and has an external size of approximately 85% of the conventional vacuum motor.
OnQuality 4.0 increases data transparency, enhances quality measurements, optimizes control strategies and thus leads to significant cost savings. Analyses, dashboards and reports can be created with a few clicks and accessed on smartphones and tablets.
