Laser Sensor Measurement Application Guides
Keyence Corporation of America
Comprehensive measurement guides illustrate and describe how laser sensors solve a broad range of industrial measurement problems. Applications in the plastic, rubber, and film industries include measurement of rubber sheeting and tubing, defects in automotive tire steel belts, evaluation of tire performance, and thickness and warpage of IC assemblies, plus alignment and vibration measurements on coating rollers and more.
Keyence's LK-G Long Series Displacement Sensors, with a range of up to 1 meter, measure any material or surface with a 50 kHz sampling speed, 2.0 µm repeatability, and ±0.02% F.S. linearity. Details and specs here.

RUD Swivel Lifting Points
RUD Chain, Inc.
The RUD Chain collection of swivel lifting points brings together physics and innovation, creating the next generation of the safest lifting products on the market today. The patented bearing technology allows the lifting point to swivel or adjust to the direction of the pull, keeping the product true to its working load limit (WLL).
This product group performs exceptionally well when a load is not only lifted, but also has to be rotated and/or turned. While other static products begin stress, the RUD® collection of swivel lifting points make the necessary adjustments, keeping workers and their environment safe.

Implementing Lean Manufacturing — Why .NET Technology is Important for ERP
As a manufacturer, you are likely already taking steps towards lean design and manufacturing. The right ERP solution is an integral part of that process, but how do you choose the right solution?
Although Microsoft's .NET technology is new to the public, ERP software vendors made key decisions about applying .NET back in 2000. Leading vendors leveraged this technology differently, impacting manufacturers on a strategic scale.
Read "Why .NET Technology is Important for ERP: The Benefits of ERP Systems Built with Managed Code," a white paper from Intuitive, a Consona ERP solution, to learn about the benefits of implementing an ERP system built with managed code and how to choose the right solution with .NET technology.

Ultrasonic Primer — The Theory Behind Ultrasonic Cleaning
"Ultrasonic cleaning depends upon cavitation, the rapid formation and violent collapse of minute bubbles or cavities in a cleaning liquid. This agitation by countless small and intense imploding bubbles creates a highly-effective scrubbing of both exposed and hidden surfaces of parts immersed in the cleaning solution. As the frequency increases, the number of these cavities also increases but the energy released by each cavity decreases making higher frequencies ideal for small particle removal without substrate damage."
