  • Die-Cut Components Guide
    As devices are getting smaller, lighter, and sleeker, engineers are constantly scouring for innovative ways to improve the performance and aesthetics of their products. Fortunately, die-cut components are drastically changing the way we create products and address design and technical challenges
  • 5 Ways to Better Product Development (with Die Cutting)
    The process of choosing your die-cutting partner is filled with challenges. Launching a new product with them shouldn't be. Engage your die-cutting supplier at the beginning of a project - accelerate implementation, speed sample turnaround, & reduce or even eliminate unexpected last-minute design
  • Mobile Steel Belt Conveyor Helps Increase Productivity and Safety
    A custom parts manufacturing plant needed to improve its scrap handling process on a 1,000-ton stamping press operation that required seven to nine die changes per shift, three shifts per day over a six-day period. Because the stamper did not have an underground pit, all of the scrap came off
  • Mining the Hidden Factory
    by other industries, some of which have reduced die changes from over 12 hours to less than 10 minutes. Changeover time reduction is likely to remain a top goal for pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical operations are unique, in that both discrete and batch processes are used to manufacture products
  • Avago Introduces 18 GHz and 26.5 GHz Low-Noise E-pHEMT in 0402 Compatible Packages Produced by Advanced Wafer-Scale Packaging Technology (.pdf)
    of no more than 1.2 times the area of the original die. This definition is somewhat fluid, since, for ex¬ample, there have been cases of original die being shrunk due to process changes and improvements with custom¬ers requiring that the resulting CSP be unchanged. There are also multi-layer CSPs
  • Polypropylene Rheology- QC
    In this application the effect of degradation on the quality of a polypropylene sample will be shown. The rheological properties of polypropylene which is used e.g. for die casting of injection moulding. greatly influences the quality of the finished products. Further, they play a role
  • Do You Really Understand the Tablet Press Overload Set Point?
    . In tabletting, powder is actually squeezed into a tablet by the action of one upper and one lower punch sliding along closing cam tracks and meeting together at a predetermined point in a die between the two main pressure rolls. That meeting point may be altered and the width of the squeeze changed
  • Oil Lid Rubber Seal Redesign Creates Cost Savings & Flexibility
    One size does not fit all. Creating multiple sizes of rubber seals and rubber gaskets quickly and economically doesn't have to be a challenge. When switching from molded rubber parts, there are two options - extruding or die cutting. Discover how one company benefited from a change in how
  • Data in Everyday Life: Are Honey Bees on the Decline?
    We've heard much over the last several years about the decline of the honey bee. There are a hive of factors being blamed for bees dying off: habitat loss, climate change, disease, parasites, and a new class of pesticides, neonicotinoids that began use in the early 1990s. But how bad is the problem
  • Melt Pressure Measurement: Environmental Effects
    it is not possible to measure these quantities continuously, closely related variables such as melt temperature, and constant melt pressure at the die, the output rate can be considered constant (2). In practice, melt pressure measurements are invaluable for a number of reasons. Small changes in head pressure

  • Personalized Medicine: Next Big Hope or Next Big Hype?
    of the blockbuster drug model and would transform the way that medicine is practiced, and drugs are made and marketed. Armed with new testing methodologies, manufacturers would nimbly change product and production schedules in response to changing patient needs. Are we there yet? Definitely
  • 2006 TOTY Finalist Profiles: Wyeth Excellence in Operations Team, Pearl River, N.Y.
    minute exchange of dies (SMED), 5S and other critical tools of process excellence. But success has depended on letting the team drive change, rather than the tools. They re trying to drive the culture change based on feedback from the floor, says Moatter, not because management wants it. Elements
  • Do You Need an Automatic Tensiometer?
    Automatic surface tension tensiometers have capabilities to die for. For example they are one button operations, can track changes in surface tension over time, give indications of contact contact angle and much more. However, Automatic tensiometers are expensive - three to four times more than
  • How to Utilize Tungsten in an Automotive Application
    Last week, we talked about the use of copper tungsten in the die sinker EDM process utilized to cut parts for a challenging aerospace application. Remarkably, the same copper tungsten can be used for resistance welding, such as the spot welding of wire harnesses. Of course, it is not exactly
  • Metal Additive Manufacturing
    Metal additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, has the potential to profoundly change the production, time-to-market, and simplicity of components and assemblies. Unlike conventional or subtractive manufacturing processes, such as drilling, which creates a part by removing material, additive
