For decades, plant personnel have performed insulation resistance tests with handheld megohmmeters to prevent motor failures that lead to costly unplanned shutdowns, failure-to-produce penalties and rewinding repairs. However, these tests only provide a “snapshot” of motor health. In a matter of days, motor windings and cables exposed to moisture, chemicals, contaminants or vibration can be compromised and fail at startup.

Hard turning has long been used for finishing when it comes to high-volume applications. Now, tooling suppliers have pushed cubic boron nitride (CBN) insert technology further, with geometric innovations that further increase the efficiency—and cost-effectiveness—of hard turning.

Automating job shops is accelerating, driven by the combined influence of Industry 4.0, the continued shortage of skilled manufacturing labor and the COVID pandemic.

New features mean more choices in cutting with inserts

The longstanding trend toward manufacturing automation has understandably been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Measurement data is an important element of the emerging smart factory. How software provides that data is the key.

Cloud-based product management software enabled sharing data across the entire company and streamlining processes previously developed manually.

A key enabler of virtual reality/augmented reality will be bandwidth — and the imminent adoption of 5G could make it good enough in applications where it isn’t now.

New Association for Advancing Automation (A3) report shows $2 billion in sales (39,708 units) in 2021 – up 28% over 2020 and 14% ahead of previous high in 2017
