Three-sided pyramids form 2D structures

Control Engineering

Chiral structures are mirror opposites, similar forms, like right and left hands, that can’t be superimposed on one another. That made it doubly surprising that they fell so easily into chiral forms during experiments when evaporated onto a surface, Jones said. This is unexpected,” he said. Courtesy: Z.

Integrated stepper motors trim accurate metal forming costs

Control Engineering

To reduce design costs and maintain quick and precise positioning of backgauges before each metal-forming cycle, CI chose integrated stepper motors. . Those with six motorized reference surfaces provide two reference points in each direction of 3D space for the reliable forming of complicated parts. metal plates. CONSIDER THIS .
