What Does Industrialized AM Really Look Like?
Industrialization isn’t just about producing parts. It’s about producing parts repeatedly. At scale. With confidence. Read more and watch the video [Picture from video by Additive Industries on linkedin.com]
Most wireless problems aren’t caused by the modem. They’re caused by what happens around it.
Antenna placement. PCB layout. Housing materials. Ground planes. Small design choices can have a huge impact on wireless performance, often long before a product reaches the market. Read more [Picture source: Cores Snoey on linkedin.com]
PC-based control: From a technological revolution to a global standard
When Beckhoff elevated the industrial computer to the status of a central control system four decades ago, a paradigm shift occurred. For 40 years, PC-based control has been putting the power of IT standards and Moore’s Law directly into the hands of machine and system engineers. With the bundling of PLC, motion control, and technologies…
KMWE-topman: de hele keten moet investeren en capaciteit uitbreiden
De Tier 2 en 3 suppliers en jobbers in de hightechketens waarin KMWE opereert moeten hun capaciteit gaan uitbreiden. Dat zegt Edward Voncken, directeur van de Eindhovense toeleverancier in een interview met het Eindhovens Dagblad. Lees meer [Bron: made-in-europe.nu]
Van Just-in-Time naar Just-in-Case
[Whitepaper] De internationale toeleverketens waar jarenlang op vertrouwd werd, staan onder druk. Geopolitieke spanningen, grondstofschaarste en transportvertragingen maken pijnlijk duidelijk: just-in-time is niet langer vanzelfsprekend. In deze whitepaper nemen we je mee in de strategische heroverweging die veel hightech OEM’s nu maken: van kwetsbare efficiëntie naar een wendbare en robuuste supply…
HiLube glijlagers in standaard afmetingen
Met een belastbaarheid van 40 MPa zijn de kunststof glijlagers van Vesconite HiLube geschikt voor toepassingen waar normaliter gietbronzen glijlagers worden gebruikt. De HiLube lagerbussen zijn echter zelfsmerend dus aanvullende vetsmering is niet nodig. Ook voor natte toepassingen zijn deze bussen uitermate geschikt. Lees verder
The PCB Passed Every Review. So Why Did the Product Fail?
Modern multi-board PCB design is becoming less about creating individual boards quickly and more about identifying engineering problems before they become expensive. A PCIe signal leaves one PCB, crosses a connector, travels through a cable assembly, enters a second board, and suddenly fails EMC testing three months later. The layout on each board looked correct. Signal lengths were matched. Design rules…
Mic-pre gain control should feel continuous and sound clean
In professional audio designs, digitally controlled microphone preamp gain can be a challenging integration point. Many systems combine stepped analog gain with a matching digital adjustment to create the experience of smooth, continuous control. The timing of those gain changes matters. When the analog and digital steps are not precisely coordinated, audible transients can occur….
In critical environments, precision is not a feature. It is a requirement
Whether you’re working with UHP gases, hydrogen systems, cooling water circuits, or high-tech manufacturing equipment, the performance of the entire system often depends on the quality of a single detail. A fitting that is not properly aligned, a particle introduced during assembly, or…
Vacuum doesn’t just remove air – it changes the rules of motion
Without air, heat transfer changes dramatically. Thermal management, outgassing, installation, and long-term reliability all become critical design considerations. Getting one of these wrong can lead to reduced performance or even costly downtime of your system. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
