Eye Spyraflo, a look at bearing applications....Episode 3: Giving gangways a new security |
 |
A manufacturer of equipment for loading and unloading at docks, such as gangways, crossover walkways and towers, discovered that bronze bushings used in their gangways were cracking and breaking. Spyraflo provider of innovative bearing solutions, solved the problem with its Delrin® AF material and its Permaglide Teflon Bronze self-clenching and self-aligning bearings. more... |

Siemens studies of motion control....Episode 3: Simotion boosts sheet metal cutting production by continuous motion with high-speed, but still maintaining precision quality |
 |
A crosscutting machine separates metal coils into flat sheets of the appropriate length required. For this process the metal coil must be rolled off at constant speed however the coil has to stop beneath the blade for cutting. Normally these contradicting requirements can only be reconciled by reducing overall performance. more... |

Eye Spyraflo, a look at bearing applications.............Episode 2: Keeping the presses rolling |
 |
A manufacturer of pre-press machines and systems, faced widespread flange-bearing failure that had to be corrected before the company could introduce its redesigned equipment line. The company turned to Spyraflo, a provider of innovative bearing solutions that eliminated the issue with its self-aligning Ready Mount™ needle roller bearing in a steel flange. This avoided the need for costly precision mounting blocks, while increasing product reliability and customer satisfaction. more... |

Eye Spyraflo, a look at bearing applications....Episode 1: Building reliable paper folding machines |
 |
The ability to fold as many as 18,000 sheets of paper per hour meant an automated machine relied on adjustable surfaces driven by a stepper motor. Space availability and cost constraints however require a motor with low torque output; therefore the motor shaft support consequently demands the use of needle roller bearings. more... |
9th October 2006 |
Siemens studies in motion control.....Episode 2: Productive, flexible and integrated - Simotion increases productivity in the hollow glass industry |
 |
Automation has to deal with demanding tasks in the transportation of glass containers, for example the exact synchronisation of the belts to the machine speed, the angled synchronisation of belts, ‘reversers’ and the movement of the feeder. more... |
