It is a simple fact: better lubrication can lead to dramatic energy savings and an improved bottom line. This ought to interest any plant manager who is looking for ways to reduce operating costs, and it is especially significant at a time when stricter government regulations are in direct contradiction to reducing costs. Lubrication reliability is the solution; this article will describe how manufacturing plants can use “lubrication reliability best-practices” to reduce their energy consumption, emissions and operating costs—all at the same time.
Bearings used to support main spindles on machine tools must be capable of higher speed and greater rigidity. This
is true in that any main spindle that turns together with a tool or work piece mounted onto it is one of the critical machine tool components that directly affects machining efficiency and accuracy of the machine tool; and, the bearings that support the main spindle are the most critical machine
elements on the machine tool.
A new solution has been developed around
the use of microprocessor-controlled
prostheses. Just like natural limbs, these
can react automatically, adapting to the
current situation.
While safety functions have been integrated into drives packages for some years now, the current trends are very exciting, from many angles. Today,
a full complement of safety functions can be implemented at the front-end of a system design on all types of production machines, including printing, packaging, converting,
materials handling and other equipment used throughout American industry.
