The PEM® StickScrew®
System for small-screw insertion has been re-engineered with a new lower-cost
StickShooter™ driver, offering the capability to accommodate
interchangeable nose assemblies and allow for quick tooling changeover. The
self-contained system combines the lightweight air-powered driver with "sticks"
of serially connected hex head screws enabling automatic screw installation
without handling loose screws or driving them manually.
The StickScrew System promotes
torque reliability (due to seating torque built into the screw), increased
productivity, and safer screw insertion. The system can be up-and-running with
minimal operator training.
Dozens
of serially connected hex head screws are supplied in "sticks" with lengths of
12 inch. Screws install by inserting the stick in the driver, advancing the
stick of screws, squeezing the trigger, and placing the tip of the rotating
screw into the hole. The screw is then driven home and twists off cleanly when
precise seating torque is achieved.
The standard, in-stock product line includes thread-cutting
screws from #2-56 to #6-32 and M3 in 400 series stainless steel. Other
available types and sizes include machine screws and thread-forming screws in a
variety of materials, including steel, brass, and aluminum, and in thread sizes
from #0-80 to #8-32 and M1 to M4. Screws can be plated, black oxidized,
hardened, and otherwise customized to meet application requirements.

specifications (see PEM Bulletin SST) and video of the StickScrew System in

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.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

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
