A precision machine is an integrated system that relies on the attributes of one component to augment the weakness of another component. In this course, emphasis is placed on the design of mechanical ...

Reliability is rarely thought about when things are going well and machines are running smoothly. But that can all change in an instant. In effect, once a machine is delivered and installed, ...

An overview of fatigue failure and how it affects mechanical systems. How FEA software enables engineers to predict fatigue failure points on structural designs, before the manufacturing process. From ...

Packaging machine builder Syntegon has standardized using panel PCs with custom push-button extensions, along with control panels, to minimize enclosures and support its HMI 4.0 program. Source: ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...
