SEPTEMBER 2014 TECHNICAL COLLEGE TO BENEFIT SCARBOROUGH


As one of the key backers of the new ‘University Technical College’ in Scarborough, Unison believes it will be of enormous benefit to the many engineering companies in the area. The new UTC in Scarborough will cater primarily for 14-18 year-olds with a focus on courses promoting careers in


‘STEM’ subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths. It is hoped that as many as 600-800 college places could be offered to students starting from September 2016. “For as long as Unison has been in existence, we have struggled

to find the technical staff we need to grow,” said Peter Wilkinson, executive director of Unison and chairman of Scarborough’s Business Ambassadors Forum. “The same situation applies to virtually every other engineering company in this area. I know that most of our local engineering businesses could expand by 10% or more almost instantly if we had a pool of local engineering talent. The new UTC will lay the groundwork to help realise this ambition – bringing enormous opportunity to the area.” The Scarborough Engineering Week event, another Unison initiative,


has been an influential factor in the decision to site the new UTC in the area. In a letter to Scarborough’s Business Ambassadors Forum discussing this initiative, His Royal Highness Prince Charles noted that there will be around 87,000 vacancies in the engineering professions this year, but only 51,000 qualified engineers available to fill the roles. “It is of vital importance to this nation that we inspire our young


people to become the engineers of tomorrow,” said Prince Charles. “That is why I am so heartened by Scarborough’s splendid initiative and I am most grateful to local and regional businesses for taking the time to provide an insight into careers not just in Engineering, but also in the core skills of science, technology and mathematics.” www.utcolleges.org

Accurate metal analysis is key to many of the procedures undertaken by Blue Diamond Technologies, a designer and manufacturer of metal parts and components. To demonstrate its competence,


the company has produced a video which shows its Spectrometer in action, enabling it to apply stringent checks on materials. Metal analysis is important


because, if Blue Diamond is responsible for the manufacture of a part, the company needs to ensure


GEARS & GEARBOXES MARKET GROWS


According to new analysis from Frost & Sullivan – Analysis of the Global Gearboxes and Gear Motors Market – the market earned revenues of $12.80 billion in 2013 and estimates this to reach $15.67 billion in 2017. North America and Asia-Pacific are likely to become the largest markets owing to increased manufacturing and mining activities. “Advancements in gear

that the metal content matches the material agreed. Secondly, Blue Diamond is sometimes called upon to ascertain the metal content of a part for which the original specification has been lost; and thirdly, if a metal part is not performing as it should, analysis of its content may suggest a reason why this is so.

precision devices will encourage the uptake of gearboxes and gear motors in these regions,” said Frost & Sullivan Industrial automation & process control senior research analyst, Krishna Raman. “The high torque density and customisable features of gearboxes will add to their popularity.” However, advancements in


technology result in a longer life cycle for products, decreasing the market for replacements. The use of hybrid gearboxes, in particular, will reduce the need for new devices in the short term. www.motors.frost.com
