Concurrent machining kickstarts motorcycle production
Rand's engineers developed a machining center with four separate spindles that perform all metal cutting on the frame simultaneously. Though simple in concept, turning it into reality was no easy task. The frames are steel, but it is critical they do not flex or bend when secured in the fixture

FEA for the factory
Designers simulate manufacturing processes to get parts right the first time. A simulation predicts porosity in an aluminum-wheel casting. The black area in the top wheel shows where the metal is more solid than liquid. The gray area in the bottom wheel shows where the metal is 100% solidified

"Space-Age" Surface Enhancement Coatings Fight Environmental Attacks On Oil & Gas Equipment
they are exposed. Unprotected or inadequately protected metal components used in oil and gas exploration, completion and production operations can quickly become pitted, brittle, degraded and worn. This can lead to failure of expensive, critical equipment and serious interruptions of production

Less noise and vibration with foam
leaves, dirt, and other particulates that enter the air intake. A fine-grade final filter (72 ppi) is oiled to help trap dust and other fine particles. Specially fabricated in metal-framed sheets, the two-part filter protects the engine from tiny contaminants but doesn't impede airflow. Polyethylene

Mist Collection: Fundamentals and Applications
. These lubricants and coolants are employed in many applications including metal cutting, metal forming, grinding, parts washing, and others. For example, milling and turning operations using water-soluble metalworking fluids typically produce mist droplets that range from 2 microns to 20 microns. The same
