In June 2009, the Thompson division of Danaher Motion offered a Webinar titled “Electric Linear Actuators 101: Basics for Design Engineers.” Unfortunately, an appointment kept me from tuning in at the appointed time. But the company will put the hour-long session in its webinar archives shortly.In the meantime, you can find these archived presentations:
Linear Systems 101: Basics for Design Engineers
Linear Bearings & Guides 101: Basics for Design Engineers
Advanced Linear Bearings & Guides 201: Troubleshooting for Design Engineers
Ball Screws 101: Ball Screw Basics for Design Engineers
Advanced Ball Screws 201: Troubleshooting for Design Engineers
Clutches & Brakes 101: Basics for Design Engineers
August 19 – Tips and Tricks for Linear Bearings & Guides
September 23 – Innovative Design Engineering with Ball Screw Technology
If you read this blog entry after September 2009, check the Thompson site at: www.thomsonlinear.com/website/com/eng/misc/webinars.php for information about webinar schedules. I welcome information about other archived and live seminar programs of interest to engineers involved with mechatronics projects. –Jon Titus
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Plastic may not be the most beloved of materials to the more environmentally minded, but Plasti 2012 aimed to mold a different opinion of the material in people's minds.
The rare earth element market has become steadily more rational, and new sources coming online will continue to reduce costs. Still, it is unlikely that prices will drop to their former lows.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
