Technology in Action
1. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE THROUGH A-ISOMETER ...
What W. Bender started all those years ago for use in mining has become indispensable for many technical applications. Wherever safety requirements are particularly high, for example, in energy generation and distribution, in mines, hospitals or traffic engineering, state-of-the-art, differentiated insulation monitoring delivers preventive maintenance and offers reliable...
2. MATERIAL SOLUTIONS FACILITATE KEY ADVANCE
Clamason Industries manufactures two versions, left and right handed, of a curtain airbag inflator housing for the Jaguar X-Type and X-Type Estate models being assembled at Ford's Halewood plant in the UK. The inflator fits into the "C" pillar behind the rear passenger seat and inflates the airbag in the direction "back to front". The components, two per car, are supplied on a just-in-time...
3. AIRKNIVES BOOST DRYING SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE ...
Using an AirKnife supplied by Air Control Industries, it was demonstrated that by exhausting the water-saturated air efficiently from the drying zone drying times are reduced significantly. This is because there is not a build up of moisture laden air for the drying system to overcome. Consequently, energy is used more efficiently, again helping to reduce costs. Characteristics of AirKnives...
