Machining composites presents unique challenges compared to metals. Reinforcement fibers are abrasive, shortening tool life. The plastic matrix carries away little heat, unlike metal chips, and overheating can melt the matrix.

Advanced materials for automotive manufacturing are helping automakers build lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Composites engineers are expanding their craft to build more complex, durable parts at higher production volumes. One way they are achieving this objective is by using infusion-molding processes based on Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM).

Robotics have come a long way since the first industrial robot was installed at General Motors. Denise Ebenhoech, Regional Head of Advanced Robotics Applications at KUKA Robotics, sits down with Chris Mahar, Associate Editor, to discuss recent developments within mobile robots. From cleans rooms to job shops to moving entire airplane assemblies, autonomous mobile robots are helping manufacturers succeed in today’s advanced manufacturing landscape.

A few not-so-tall tales of how machine shops gain a competitive edge through automation

Smaller, more versatile vehicles and robots help address the labor shortage

It’s the first two in a series of AI offerings that the company has in the works.

Materials will be subjected to moon dust, low pressure and rapid temperature swings.

Four AI trend forecasts from Anders Billesø Beck of Universal Robots A/S.

Tight budgets are the norm for small companies in the laser-cutting industry, so finding ways to save money and accelerate ROI is critical.
