Soft Skills Prove a Sharp Edge in Plastics Manufacturing

Modern Machine Shop

“A lot of our customers are other machine shops around New England, because they’ll get orders for machining metals, but then one of their customers might have a couple plastic parts. All photos by Modern Machine Shop. Nancy and Mark both credit some of this growth to the shop’s location in southern Connecticut.

How Agility Robotics crosses the Sim2Real gap with NVIDIA Isaac Lab

Robotics Business Review

That’s a lot of information to take in, and a lot of actuators to coordinate, for complex actions that need to be decided in real time. Every action or contact with the environment, like grasping a doorknob, can be felt at every joint of the robot and affects how the legs should balance the entire thing.

ANELLO Photonics secures funding for inertial navigation in GPS-denied environments

Robotics Business Review

“With the the same concept as a fiber gyro — the idea of light going around a coil, and you measure the phase based on rotation — we integrated all those components on a single chip, added a little laser, and put electronics around it, and you now get SiPhOG, which fits in the palm of your hand.” ANELLO Photonics Inc.

Three 3D Scanner Investment Considerations

Mold Making Technology

3D measurement tools are available that combine the measurement capabilities of a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with the noncontact functionality of a laser line probe. When polishing in the past, workers would have to step away from their place on the shop floor to measure molds on a fixed CMM.

Fluke Reliability Predictions 2024: AI to Lead the Way in Combating Manufacturing Challenges

Gary Mintchell

Here is the last of the prediction articles I picked up in December but had too much news to pack in. Solutions that involve AI-powered analytics with a significant amount of learned data already stored lower the barriers to widespread adoption of PdM and can increase the amount of assets measured in a condition monitoring strategy.

Introducing a Breakthrough in Tap Manufacturing

Fabricating & Metal Work

Using MTC shows a marked improvement in the accuracy of OD finish of tools. Traditionally, manufacturers rely on measurement and compensation to control these variations, adjusting for thermal and mechanical changes during grinding. But what if there was a way to eliminate a major source of inaccuracy altogether?
