Why Would You Machine Your Enclosure
If you are in need of an enclosure for your electronics and debating the pro’s and con’s of what to do, then here are some points for you to consider based on the latest machining techniques that may provide you with a better solution for no extra cost.
* What do you do when you need something more than a customised off the shelf enclosure?
* Have you considered a bespoke enclosure manufactured to your exact requirements?
* Do you know that Casting and Moulding are not the only options for a bespoke enclosure?
* Have you considered utilising the latest machining techniques to manufacture an enclosure for your electronics?
Why should you choose CNC machining for your electronics enclosure?
The latest CAD CAM systems and machining technologies have revolutionised what can be achieved cost effectively by the machining process and this has allowed companies to reap the benefits of the process at a cost that many would have thought impossible only a few years ago. Here are some of the advantages of the process. Read the rest of this entry »

Vibratory Deburring Machines Enhance The Caliber Of Your Job
Automated deburring processes improve quality, tighten tolerances and eliminate damage and considerably keep costs down – specifically when the reduced rework, rejection and failure price savings are amortized. Organizations, using advanced precision machinery, now create complex components that numerous design engineers couldn’t even imagine a few years ago.
That is why the hydraulic, healthcare and digital sectors often specify it. They have all wanted to remove component failure because of insufficient burr elimination. Burrs by their very character are amazingly sharp – razor sharp and destructive. Seal failure and breathing in burrs by way of resuscitation units are only a couple of avoidable scenarios. Being able to guarantee burr free is something any salesperson would welcome. Regarded as nearly impossible to deburr manually, a precision automotive element having 2 small holes drilled into a recess is being thermally deburred effectively.
Deburring Centre, the thermal deburring professionals have recently began the agreement to thermally deburr 20,000 components per week for Deans Engineering, the Livingstone, Scotland-based precision engineering organization. It is a precision machined part for the automotive sector with 2 small holes drilled in a recess. It is nearly impossible to manually deburr. And even if it might be done manually the time taken over each one of these would quickly add up to a major problem. Thermal deburring was chosen for a variety of reasons. Whereby the process uses a gas, this can quickly and easily cover every burr, in spite of how awkward it is to get to. Being non selective, every burr is eliminated, guaranteed.

The Cutting Edge Technology Of The Next Generation
Challenges and issues in technology upgrading from the corporate perspective has always been predominant and will continue to exist for many years to come. The challenges pertain to the five Ms: markets, men, machines, materials, and methods. For markets, there are problems of size (or the lack of) and the increasingly shortened life cycles. For men, there is a need to raise skills level and competencies, have suitable trainers, provide budgets and resources, and be able to retain the workforce in the industry. For machines, there are issues such as the high cost of capital, expensive testing equipment, rapid technology changes, restrictions imposed on the export of high-tech machinery, and long procurement times. For materials, there are limitations on the supply of specialized materials, difficulty in obtaining supplies in small quantities, high cost, and uncertain quality. For methods, the challenges are in the use of forecasting techniques and scenario analysis to assess market demands, emerging technologies, and product trends, and the receptivity of the workforce and companies to technology transfer and certification.
Precision engineering industry has evolved in order to support this everlasting demand of technology up-gradation. There is a progressive trend for product manufacturers to outsource more of their operations so that they can concentrate on their core strengths of design and development. This provides excellent opportunities for the more enterprising precision engineering companies to move up the value chain. A business model that is becoming increasingly common is one in which the product manufacturer nurtures of pool of supporting companies to form a manufacturing ecosystem. There are a number of important considerations for PE companies to adapt to such a symbiotic relationship. Read the rest of this entry »
