To help with ongoing personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages, Ontario-based nanofiber manufacturer, BIG-nano, has collaborated with Renishaw to create a local supply chain for protective masks using additive manufacturing (AM).
The automotive industry has continually pioneered new manufacturing and assembly processes, driving the adoption of key innovative technologies on the factory floor.
ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, today introduces a family of infrared VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Sur-face-Emitting Laser) flood illuminators which help industrial manufacturers to develop new and innovative applications for robots, cobots, autonomous guided vehicles, and smart devices which perform 2D and 3D optical sensing.
For machine tool makers, to achieve manufacturing efficiency depends on fast and accurate quality control processes. With traditional error testing methods beginning to hinder operations, TAKAM Machinery Co., Ltd (TAKAM) turned to Renishaw's XK10 alignment laser system to deliver precision, efficiency and speed.
