Protect Machines from Premature Wear with Soft-Start Valves
Optimizing machine productivity can manifest itself in many different forms such as: operating 24/7, running
production lines at maximum throughput or minimizing machine downtime. One way to reduce machine downtime
is by increasing its overall lifecycle or by extending the interval between regularly scheduled maintenance and
repair.A machine is subject to additional stress and risks to premature wear when it is powered up and pressurized with
compressed air after a scheduled shut-down or a s

Competition Intensifies Need for Collaborative Robots
Thailand is the next country expected to embrace
collaborative robots due to increased local competition as well as from nearby
countries thanks to the Asean Free Trade Area Agreement.Many companies see the cobots and as
enrichment to their current workforce that relieves employees of repetitive or
dangerous tasks and allowing them to advance their skills in other areas.
Universal Robots is one provider of collaborative robots (cobots) that is being
deployed in industries worldwide, includ
