Industry 4.0 is often referred to as smart manufacturing, where technology enables interconnectivity for machines and manufacturing software and systems. It also provides “Big Data,” increased visibility and remote access to manufacturing assets.

Advanced toolholding and workholding devices offer gripping prowess—and sometimes more

Should you coat in-house? Factors to consider include costs, supply chain issues and the ability to make proprietary coatings.

There is no real problem with threading a pipe. Most DIY types can do it in their workshop with hand tools, but when the pipe is 40′ long and ordered by the ton, you are in oil country. Pumping crude oil out of the ground requires drill pipe, casing, tool joints, tees, crosses, flanges, and couplings. All those items need to be machined. And that takes specialized workholding.

If you’re looking for new solutions to tooling and workholding challenges, IMTS was a great place to start. The bi-annual trade show, held this past September in Chicago, allowed shops to browse for the “latest and greatest” technologies.

Zekelman Industries had a goal to deliver steel-framed, volumetric modular building units up to 50 percent faster, without cost overruns, built to 1/16” (1.59-mm) tolerance.

There are many key benefits from investing in robotics to help manage maintenance and repairs of manufacturing equipment.

The right tooling can have a profound effect on a shop’s competitiveness and future growth.

For Rapid WaterJet Design, Emuge cutters made the difference between hours of profiling on a conical part with a ball-nose cutter vs. far more efficient Circle Segment machining.

The Industry 4.0 & Smart Manufacturing Adoption Report by IoT Analytics suggests that Industry 4.0 technology uptake is still low among manufacturers.
