Topics include implementation, warehouse logistics, robotics, sensors, cybersecurity, data analytics and more.
If you are experiencing reduced cooling, increased cycle times and/or dirty, contaminated parts then your vacuum furnace's heat exchanger might be the cause. Over the course of time and production, materials will deposit on the fins of the heat exchanger, which can result in a number of issues. In this video, we examine what a heat exchanger is supposed to look like vs. what it looks like after it has collected layers of contaminants. We also discuss how often the heat exchanger, and its cooling coils should be inspected so as to ensure optimum performance and part quality.
With the myWFL operational data acquisition system, you can maintain an overview around the clock and exploit the optimization potential for the smart factory. The software not only has a user-transparent display, but also improves machine utilization. All data in the production environment is collected and analyzed to achieve higher productivity. Shorter production times and a more effective design of the Smart Factory processes thus go hand in hand.
Inadequate lubrication conditions lead to excessive displacement. Vibration and temperature can reveal cracks and misalignment. Profile deformation leads to worsening conditions, and wear speed diagnoses current gear protection while predicting critical wear. But a monitoring partnership that understands that integrated system will get you the best at all stages of your gear. It’ll prevent failures and upgrade your efficiency. Learn more about Kluber and DALOG's remote monitoring of girth gear performance.
GROB Systems has announced a new YouTube Video Series called “Machine Minutes with GROB.” New technical tutorial and informational videos will be released regularly and will focus on three primary topics including Machine Design/ Building, Machine Applications, and Machine Maintenance and Inspection.

Tool-X is a nanofluid that changes the characteristics of existing metalworking fluids by ‘manipulating’ speeds, feeds and metal removal rates using nanotechnology. The science behind Tool-X can potentially change metal cutting dynamics, improve surface finishes and extend tool life. The backstory of this technology is just as fascinating as its production results.
