TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL New Desktop Enclosures


from JPR Electronics offer Designers Retro Styling


T


wo new ranges of desktop enclosures


from Hammond Electronics are now available from JPR Electronics . Their retro styling offers manufacturers of high-end hi-fi equipment, audio, broadcast, set-top boxes and other consumer products as well as industrial instrumentation an alternative to conventional cases in applications where appearance can be as important as function.


The HWCAS consists of a complete walnut frame fitted with aluminium top and optional base panels and is available with either a black powder coat or natural finish. The 1444CWW and the 1441CWW families are fabricated from aluminium or steel respectively and fitted with walnut end panels to the shorter sides. The aluminium version has a natural finish; the steel has a black powder coat finish.

Bosch Rexroth sets the Internet of Things (IoT) in motion with working hydraulics


valve block to translate IT commands into physical movement sequences for customised, connected warehouse processes. Modern warehouses contain a wide


G


variety of goods, and forklift operators need to comply with a large number of specifications while moving them, especially the delicate kind. In light of increasing warehouse sizes and wide variety of goods, forklift drivers can easily mishandle items, resulting in damage. The IoT approach ensures that delicate goods are handled gently, and offers complete traceability of the handling process.


Sensors on the forklift detect the type of goods to be moved. Information is then sent via gateways to the


Rexroth BODAS ECU on the forklift, which translates the information into setpoints for the EDG valve on the machine. Equipped with independent load-sensing (LS) pressure limitation, the implement functions can be smoothened in the case of delicate goods. As a result, the support function offered by this IoT solution has a direct influence on the implement hydraulics’ force, acceleration and other parameters, thereby providing relief to the driver.


The solution launched at Hannover Messe, as part of Bosch Rexroth’s ‘Factory of the Future’ concept: a vision of


manufacturing facilities equipped with intelligent technologies and connected, efficient solutions that take full advantage of the advent of Industry 4.0 and the IoT.


Primarily designed for 1 to 3.5-tonne forklifts, but also suitable for those above 3.5 tonnes, the EDG valve block has a modular, sandwich-plate design, and the optimised flow in the cast-iron components greatly improves efficiency. Flow volumes of up to 120 l/min are possible by exchanging the inlet element. For more information, please contact your local Bosch Rexroth representative.

delivery’. It is also very competitive so you have to keep up with the latest technology or someone will overtake you.”


Mr Brown believes that the key to Chester Hall’s


success has been putting in place a continuous improvement culture. “We have what I term a right first- time culture, which includes employing techniques such as off-line programming for our 5-axis machining centres, state of the art machining simulation software, a lessons- learnt methodology and stringent internal audits, data analysis and training programmes. The result is that we have developed long-term contractual partnerships with Tier One aerospace manufacturers.”

The company now has a total of eight Mazak machines, with the latest being two VTC-800/30SDR Siemens machines.


I


f you are working in the aerospace industry, at whatever level of the supply chain, there is every chance that you


have come across the name of Chester Hall Precision. The company was founded in 1974, by Brian Brown, initially located in Basildon, Essex, before moving down the road to Wickford in 1986. Today, Chester Hall employs some 100 plus staff who


work on a three-shift pattern that enables 24-hour cover Monday to Friday from its 6000 sq m freehold premises. In the past, the company has supplied parts to sectors such as defence and automotive but is now firmly established as a key part of the aerospace supply chain, making large monolithic machinings, assemblies and sub-assemblies for Tier 1 aerospace companies.


“We provide a total service including concurrent engineering, manufacturing, treatments and assembly, along with the management of the complete supply chain,” says Director Phil Brown. “Most importantly, we hold all relevant BSI accreditations, and have recently gone through our BSI recertification audit for the BSI AS9100 Rev D, which is the new BSI revision standard specifically relating to aerospace companies. It’s an achievement to be accredited to these stringent standards, but it is vital for what we do, namely critical, large structural components for aircrafts.” Mr Brown says that aerospace is not for the faint-


hearted. “It is a very demanding sector, with the main challenges being product quality, and OTD or ‘on-time-
