The marriage of the stator and rotor within an electric motor (eMotor) is a critical step in assembly that demands precision and careful handling. When these components are not properly integrated, several challenges and product problems can arise….
In automation, precision isn’t just a technical specification—it’s imperative to succeed. When tolerances drop below one millimeter, the margin for error disappears. Every micron matters….
Automation in manufacturing is crucial for enhancing efficiency, reducing errors, and increasing throughput. By automating repetitive and complex tasks, manufacturers can achieve higher throughput and maintain consistent product quality….
Developing a request for quotation (RFQ) or request for proposal (RFP) is a critical step in procurement, serving as a formal invitation for suppliers to bid on providing goods or services….
Ultra-low volume dispensing for this discussion is the ability to dispense precise single droplets that are basically invisible to the human eye and defined in units of pico or nano liter volume….
System complexities are leading to the creation of a higher functioning standard system component to enable faster project cycles. This standardization is a benefit because it provides functionality that has already been tested and verified. The function is basically accessed like a service. Now you only need to know how to use it; you do not have to invest time to understand how it works….
From simplifying tooling requirements, to quick system assemblies, to intuitive and easy integrations. Smart Conveyance provides significant value to machine builders and end-users because material costs and engineering hours can be reduced. This offers a solution that balances the overall cost of automation with market demands by allowing for reconfigurability and scalability….
Consumers demand immediacy and in order to keep up with such demands, manufacturers must rethink their production processes. Automation cells no longer can be looked upon to produce one standardized batch or product, instead, they need to be flexible and re-deployable to create shorter cycles. For manufacturers to remain competitive, engineers are being tasked with rethinking their current processes and developing ways to not only produce more, but produce more in smaller amounts of space….
According to a 2023 report, Global News Wire is reporting a 12.7% CAGR growth and greater than $80B USD in revenue by 2028 in Point of Care (POC) diagnostics. This tremendous growth is fueled by continuous glucose monitoring wearables, as well as the demand that was kick started with the advent of a myriad of at-home COVID-19 PCR and rapid tests….
Engineers know the frustration of designing a manufacturing process that is difficult to scale up or automate. Let’s say benchtop equipment was built to test an assembly process with equipment running at a slower rate to support manual loading, and the controller and servos were selected based on that rate. But when it’s scaled up, the process does not behave in the same way at the faster production rate. It may yield unrepeatable or unreliable results….
