87 – “Automated Assembly” – first project update

The Purdue project team is developing a fully automated machine to assemble a small, custom, two-piece, plastic injection molded replica of the Purdue hammer. Since the initial application submission, the team has been hard at work refining the designs, specifying the needed equipment and defining the overall control strategy for the project. The progress the team has made to date is as follows: Refinement of all conceptual designs into full working designs including the — parts feeders, assembly fixture, machine layout, injection molds, and the robot pick and place device. The completed fabrication includes the machine cart/stand and two key components for the parts feeders. Additionally, the full control scheme has been defined and the associated controls components from Phoenix Contact have been ordered. Since it is still early in the development process, the only real problem that we have encountered is an early design problem with our pick and place robot. The solution to fix this problem is currently under review. The next steps the team will be taking includes: Redesign of the pick and place robot, fabricating the remaining components, acquiring, setting up and programming the controls and pneumatics systems, mounting all machine components, testing and debugging.

General Project – Lipodissolve Injection Lipolysis

Dr. Diane Duncan, American NetWork of Injection Lipolysis, LLC (lipolysis-network.com), 1701 E. Prospect Road * Fort Collins, CO 80525. Injection Lipolysis — LipoDissolve — “Shrinkwrap®” these are new terms to many people but it is one that can have a dramatic impact on you. Shrinkwrap® is Dr. Duncan’s proprietary formula that “melts” small pockets of fat without surgery. This is a wonderful new procedure which is done in Dr. Duncan’s practice for patients who have diet and exercise resistive fat pockets and do not want surgery.

Important Tips For Your Plastic Machining Project

Important Tips For Your Plastic Machining Project

To find any machine shop is very easy. The difficult part is finding the shop that specializes in plastic machining, particularly plastic precision machining and other non-metallic parts and plastic machine parts.

Aerospace, fluid handling, medical and semiconductor are just few of the many industries that have constant demand for tasks that involve plastic materials and processes. Shops may be flooding the streets of America, however, finding the right shop that provides excellence service to customers on top of offering the highest quality of plastic precision machining service and plastic-precisioned products and parts. Building trust is essential. Sometimes it is easy, however at most, people place trust to wrong shops. To help you on this, there are several tips that serve as your guide, in case need for plastic machining arises.

Before purchasing plastic materials and machines such as plastic rod, plastic molds, plastic welding, plastic sheet, plastic injection molders, plastic fabrication and other plastic precision machining parts, you need to understand the capacity, condition and capability of the plastic machine or plastic machine parts. A conversation with the store manager or sales agent can be helpful.

Second, make sure that the plastic machine shop can give you important documents such as maintenance records, manuals and the complete manufacturer’s specifications and equipment retrofit quotes. These papers are great source of information that is useful in your decision making with regards plastic machining. Third, use the expertise of third party to verify the condition of the plastic machine parts. Their opinion or appraisal on the condition, quality and capability of the plastic precision machining parts and plastic materials are decisive. Today, there are several advantages of using plastic materials over metal parts.

Plastic materials have properties and characteristics that contribute to the high quality of the finished products at reasonable costs. These properties include lightweight, high-impact resistance, corrosion resistance, easy processing, high-wear resistance and less roughness. Experts suggest that beside great savings, plastic materials increase productivity, improved appearance and long duration without the lubrication requirements. Polyethylene machining parts are also preferred due to their being recyclable and environment-friendly.

When it comes to aeronautics and aerospace technology, plastic machining is preferred over materials because the former can withstand heat. Nowadays, plastic materials and plastic machine parts are used in solid fuel booster and ablative shields to allow re-entry of space shuttles.

In manufacturing helicopters, plastic materials and plastic precision machining play a key role for its durability, flexibility and capacity to absorb vibrations. Its being strong means the weight of the aircraft can be reduced without compromising quality and safety.

During World War II, plastic was first introduced as a substitute for rubber machining and items such as fuel-tank linings, flier’s boots and so forth. Today, plastic industry continues to evolve with technology. If your needs fall under the category of pipe systems, plastic machining is very helpful in few ways. First, it is cost-efficient as far as installation and equipment are concerned. Second, plastic precision machining and plastic materials require less maintenance. Third, they last longer than the metal counterparts.

Plastic machining including all plastic materials and plastic parts does not decompose. In fact, this property is advantageous because it allow engineers and manufacturers to recycle the plastic parts and materials. Its source is oil. However, scientists today are doing their best efforts to produce plastic from vegetable oil.

Do you want more information about plastic precision machining. Do you want to buy plastic machines from machine shops with plastic precision machining service? We also have assorted machining articles that tells you where to find machine shops that offer the service. Go to Vespel machining to learn more about plastic machining.
