CAD Automation App Reduces Quoting Time by 30%

Metalsa engineers previously spent an average of 32 hours per month quoting a typical three programs for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This time was spent opening CAD files, obtaining information and a snapshot, and populating a spreadsheet with the data. Metalsa worked with CCE (www.cadcam-e.com) to develop an app using CCE’s EnSuite product that opens the CATIA files, captures the needed information and populates the…See More

GRAPHALLOY® Bushings Outperform Metal Wear Parts in CO2 Service

Yonkers, NY (May 2012) – GRAPHALLOY® wear rings and bushings from Graphite Metallizing Corporation provide performance superior to standard metal stationary and rotating wear parts in pumps for CO2 service in oil field applications. Self-lubricating GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, eliminates concern about bearing failures or possible flashing of CO2. The ability to operate without additional lubrication is important in CO2 injection applications because CO2 has low lubricity. Standard…See More

The Growth of Crowdsourcing in Automotive Design

It's fascinating to see crowdsourcing becoming ever more popular and making it into the mainstream of vehicle design. Not only is the government soliciting it for the design of military vehicles but the larger auto makers like Ford and Chevrolet are using it as well. If you're interested, here's an article on still other automakers that are using crowdsourcing: blogs.ptc.com/2012/03/23/build-your-own-car-new-trends-in-auto-design-crowdsourcing/See More

Automated Stud Welding Saves Labor and Improves Appearance of Kitchen Ventilation Systems

CaptiveAire, Raleigh, North Carolina, the leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems, uses stud welding to attach fasteners to its ventilation systems without penetrating walls in order to eliminate the possibility of leakage or any area for bacteria of impurities to build up. The previous manual process for stud welding of commercial kitchen ventilation systems was labor intensive and made it difficult to maintain the vertical position of the studs. CaptiveAire contracted…See More

A Line-Up of Culprits That Can Harm Power Quality

From utility source to receptacleLightningCan be extremely destructive if proper surge protection is not installed. It also causes sags and undervoltages on the utility line if far away. If close by, it causes swells and overvoltages. But in the final analysis, lightning is an act of nature and not in the same category as the damage man does to himself.Utility automatic breaker reclosureCauses short duration sags/ outages, but better than the alternative, a longer-term outage.Utility capacitor…See More

Power System Resonance

Hot vibes can result when harmonics and capacitors get togetherIs it possible to install “Power Factor Correction Capacitors” and have PF get worse? It certainly is, and a starting place to understanding this puzzle lies in the distinction between Displacement PF (DPF) and Total Power Factor (PF). The penalty for not understanding the difference can be blown capacitors and wasted investment. Total PF and Displacement PF are the same in one basic sense: they are the ratio of Real Power to…See More

Vibration Testing Technology

To the savvy maintenance professional, industrial machinery almost “talks” to reveal its condition. The key to success is in understanding what the machine is saying. To detect problems, the professional “listens” in many ways: With eyes and ears, to see and hear conditions that may indicate problems and…• With thermometers and thermal imagers, to detect overheating, poor electrical connections or failing bearings• With digital multimeters and power analyzers, to diagnose electrical problems•…See More
