These racks have no need for extra machining and alignment, mounting directly onto most standard linear guide rails. There's no need for a separate mounting surface for the rail, and the racks can be assembled to the rails off the machine frame. They come in metric pitches from module 1.0-16.0, with linear force capacities of up to 31,000 lb. They come with rack segment lengths up to 3m, segments can be mounted end-to-end for unlimited travels lengths. Levels include soft, induction-hardened, quenched and tempered and hardened and ground (AGMA 12). They are designed for axis drives requiring precise positioning and repeatability, traveling gantries and columns, pick and place robots and material handling systems applications. They are made for the material handling, automation, aerospace, machine tool, woodworking and robotics industries.
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.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
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.
