When manufacturing equipment for use in marine environments, it can be difficult to ensure that parts perform as desired for extended periods of time. Multiple design considerations must be made due to the environmental factors that are present in marine environments. Corrosion due to moisture can quickly degrade both internal and external components much quicker than dryer inland climates. The presence of salt in marine environments can be especially damaging, and cause issues with both mechanical and electrical systems. Over the years, Polyurethane has proven itself to be one of the most res ..read more

Taking a customer idea and turning it into a usable part can be a complicated process. A lot of leaders have tried tackling manufacturing industry problems, and have been in vain. Even with a clear understanding of customer goals and intentions, projects can easily fail if not managed properly. Some projects seem to be devoid of any clear source leadership altogether. With the complexities involved in bringing something to market today, it is imperative that clients and manufacturers are able to clearly communicate with each other, and have a clear understanding of the scope of all parties inv ..read more

In todays global economy, manufacturing a part for production is only half the battle. Ensuring that a product does not get damaged during transport is imperative to maintain customer satisfaction, and overall project success. When it comes to delivery to the end user, as well as internal component transportation within a company, dunnage is an important part of ensuring product quality. Whether a ship is rocking, or a trucker slams on the brakes, having the correct dunnage in use can be an important part of ensuring customer satisfaction. In this article, let’s talk about dunnage and how poly ..read more

The field of robotics has seen some of the most aggressive growth of any modern industry. With the rise of advanced computing and sensory technology, he capabilities of todays robots has increased substantially. The automated robotic systems of today are an order of magnitude more capable that the robots of just a decade ago, and the capabilities have allowed them to flourish in the manufacturing environment. There is a diverse range of purposes that these systems serve, but most applications involve the robot interacting physically with an object. Depending on the object the robot is interact ..read more

The shore hardness scale is a measurement system which allows you to describe the properties of a materials resistance to indentation, and in turn, how hard it is. With the large selection available in polymers today, there is an array of technical specifications that can be used to illustrate the properties of a material. The huge amount of variability between the same compounds can further complicate this matter when trying to select the best material for your project. Shore hardness is a quick way to get a general idea of how a material will behave against impact and abrasion. Choosing how ..read more
