What happens to your product when it leaves the warehouse? Can you see when it’s delivered to your customer? Do you know which batch was sent to which retailer? Can you tell what condition it was in when it arrived or who was responsible for it at any given time? With so much data and technology, the ability to trace your entire supply chain from component to customer is becoming a reality for small and medium manufacturers.
FANUC America’s popular Machining Simulation for Workforce Development provides virtual training for controls operation and part programming. To help solve the shortage of 5-axis machining operators, the new 5-axis training simulation addition allows users to learn how to setup and work with three common advanced 5-axis milling machines: mixed type, tool type and table type. A 3-axis mill and a 2-axis lathe are also provided for maximum configuration flexibility.
What on earth is a “channel monitor”! And then also in connection with the term “selective”? Images of gigantic ocean-going vessels quickly form on their way through the Kiel Canal, saving themselves the 250-mile detour through the North Sea, Skagerrak and Kattegat. And because the pilot prefers to check his message status on his smartphone instead of doing his actual work, he only monitors the channel passage selectively!
What do you need to know about terminal blocks? In this video, Phoenix Contact will identify the top 5 topics surrounding this technology, including planning, circuit disconnects, circuit fuse protection, multi-level terminal blocks with space savings, and grounding blocks.
