TRA-BOND F114 is a clear, low-viscosity epoxy material developed for fiber optic assembly and repair applications. This high impact material adheres to most substrates, including glass, plastics, and ceramics. F114 provides excellent resistance to thermal shock, says Tra-Con. This two-part system is easily mixed and cured at room temperature, although the cure can be expedited with heat. Applications for TRA-BOND F114 include small volume potting involving plastic or glass fibers, lenses, and other optical components.
The PPR-10 push rivet fits a square or a round hole making it a universal part. The rivet is recommended to fit a 0.250-inch diameter hole or a 0.220-inch square hole with a panel thickness range of 0.140 to 0.200 inch. The rivet is made of a strong and durable Nylon material, and can be removed by hand, screwdriver, or tools provided by Richco Inc.
Envirotight sealed fiber-optic connectors are fabricated from high quality corrosion resistant materials, and are engineered to withstand total immersion in liquids, claims Three E Laboratories Inc. The ferrules and alignment sleeves are made of precision machined zirconia, while the connector and adapter bodies are fabricated from 316 stainless steel, and the O-rings are available in Viton and Tefzel. The connectors are sealed front and back, and keyed with a screw-type mating mechanism to insure repeatable connections.
Ribbon Clips from Micro Plastics Inc. handle ribbon cables commonly used in personal computers, and other flat cable bundles up to 23/8-inches wide and 1/4-inch thick. The clip pushes into 3/16-inch diameter mounting holes, with a spacing of 11/4 inches. The part has a secure integrally molded latch, which can be opened if the cable must be removed. And the clips are molded out of tough electrically insulating nylon 6/6.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
