Rapid prototyping and simulation using WAAM

Rapid prototyping and simulation using WAAM

Mention the words ‘prototype’ and ‘large-scale component’ in the same sentence and you would be forgiven for imagining extended lead times and significant cost implications. That might have been true in days gone by, but now, thanks to developments in metal additive manufacturing, it can be done in weeks and at significantly reduced costs.

Q&A with SKF: Digital transformation enables sustainable rotation

Q&A with SKF: Digital transformation enables sustainable rotation

The bearing is at the heart of the machine. But did you know that 90% of all bearings fail because they are either designed, installed, lubricated or used incorrectly?

Augmented reality: The answer to the skills gap?

Augmented reality: The answer to the skills gap?

The labour shortage has long plagued the manufacturing industry – and it’s a problem that has only been exacerbated in recent years. So, how do we solve this pressing issue? In this exclusive interview, Editor Sophia Bell chats to Mike Loughran at Rockwell Automation about how manufacturers can harness AR to help close the skills gap, optimise production & enhance profitability.

Considerations for choosing the correct rolling-element bearing characteristics

Considerations for choosing the correct rolling-element bearing characteristics

Daily experience in application engineering has proven that the selection of the correct bearing type can be successfully achieved by customers, based on the documentation and tools provided by the bearing manufacturer and using comparable applications as a guideline.
