ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Portable Vibration Calibration with Certificate Generation from PCB Piezotronics
P
Upgraded Mesh Filters for OMF Coolant Mist Filters
mist filters. The new filter configuration is designed to improve filter life and facilitate easy cleaning of prefilters on a range of applications. Installation is simple, replacing your existing single-stage prefilter with a two-stage combination
filter.In recent tests, some customers have experienced 100% longer filter life with lower replacement costs. The upgraded filter set consists of a specially selected mesh filter with a mix of medias designed to remove fine mist before it reaches the prefilter. The mesh filter has an expected life of many years; and is easily cleaned if required.

ABB Drives Remote Condition Monitoring I
nnovative service enabled by the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP) delivers accurate, real-time information about drive events and helps to predict maintenance needs,
operational risks and possible
system faults. It will allow equipment to perform better and last longer - keeping production running as planned. ABB, the leading power and automation technology
group, will be showcasing its new, customisable drives Remote Condition Monitoring service at this year’s Hanover Fair. This service helps in predictive maintenance planning by utilising remote data. It includes an expert
analysis report on the drive’s condition and proactive e-mail alerts regarding potential faults or limited availability, ensuring that equipment is available, reliable and maintainable. In industries in which equipment downtime is extremely costly, new solutions are needed to assess future risks.

Starrett was excited to exhibit at this year’s MACH trade show, alongside a number of other industry-leading businesses. The show not only demonstrated the ways that the industry is adjusting to new trends, but also the considerations that go into making these exciting concepts a reality.
Accuracy of big data
Big data in particular is becoming increasingly valuable to businesses. While the idea of accumulating and analysing large quantities of data from technological sources has been around since the turn of the century, it has taken us nearly a fifth of that to develop our infrastructure to a point where it can be used effectively.
Once analysed, this data can provide valuable insight into processes and can highlight areas for improvement. This is driving an industry requirement for precision measurement to ensure that data is accurate, which can be challenging in most manufacturing environments where time is of the essence and multiple tests are required to provide readings.
However, there has been progress on this front. Starrett’s range of force measurement machines tackle this problem head on, using software developed to run multiple tests simultaneously for more accurate and immediate data. This can then be fed back to another device for analysis.
K manufacturing has faced relatively uncertain times in recent years. The economic collapse of 2008 led to a hostile period of market instability, which coincided with a period of great technological growth – with few of these technologies being properly adopted due to costs. Almost a decade later, these advancements are at last becoming increasingly common in industrial sectors. John Cove, Marketing Manager of metrology and saw blade specialist Starrett, explores these current industry trends.

Technology is currently advancing at a rate never before seen and it is showing little sign of slowing down. Concepts that have existed for some time, such as additive manufacturing and big data, are now becoming commonplace and being used in new and innovative ways.
24 MAY 2016 | FACTORY EQUIPMENT Additive manufacturing, not testing
One of the most prominent trends observed at 2016’s industrial trade shows is that of new manufacturing techniques, particularly additive manufacturing. Initially, this process was used for quickly creating prototypes to offer a tangible insight into the end product, but in recent years we have seen this develop into a parts manufacturing process in its own right.
