Right Angle Gearing: Different Styles & Benefits
Right Angle Gearing An input and output of a right angle transmission are perpendicular to one another. Various kinds of traditional right-angle gearing have various design benefits, but there is always a trade-off between mechanical efficiency and ratio density or torque capacity. Spiral Bevel, Worm, and Hypoid gearing, the three most popular kinds of right angle gearing, will be discussed. The location of the input (drive) pinion along the curve of the output (driven) gear is th

Advantages of Smart Inspection Sensors
3D scanning is the process of capturing the geometry of a physical object and creating a digital model of it. This can be done using various methods such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, structured light scanning, or computed tomography (CT) scanning. 3D scanning can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating digital models for 3D printing, reverse engineering, and inspection.3D inspection involves using 3D scanning technology to inspect the quality of a manufactured part or compone

When 30 Milliseconds Make All the Difference
You have to be willing to take a risk in order to stay on the cutting edge of technology. This happened at Berhalter Swiss Die-Cutting in Widnau, Switzerland: "We had been continuously expanding our machines and ultimately reached a plateau," explains Dalibor Schuman, managing director and member of the board of directors. Optimizations in design, processes, or materials could no longer offset rising prices. This signaled the beginning of the Swiss Die-Cutter B6's development.The research addres

The Future of Automation Depends on Relationships Built Today
While technology is certainly an important component of automation, the role of warm relationships, or interpersonal connections, cannot be overlooked. In fact, the success of automation often depends on the ability of humans and machines to work together in a seamless, collaborative way.One example of this can be seen in the development of collaborative robots, or "cobots," which are designed to work alongside human workers. These machines are equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms

Painless Palletizing with Universal Robots
Automated palletizing refers to the use of robots or machines to stack and organize products or materials onto pallets, which can then be transported easily. This process is faster and more efficient than manual palletizing, as it requires less labor and can be done more accurately and quickly.Cobot palletizing, which involves the use of collaborative robots (cobots) to stack products on pallets, offers several benefits, including:
Increased efficiency: Cobot palletizing is much faster tha
