Precision machining is the process of removing material from a workpiece to chang the dimensions or properties of the workpiece so that is can become a more precise product that will meet very exact specifications.

The technology for 3D printing of medical materials has soared. The new technique "Layered Manufacturing Technology", also known as 3D printing, which uses a layer-by-layer additive method to build products, has become popular in recent years. With the rapid advancement of 3D printing technology, the market for 3D printed medical materials has grown significantly.

The valve is an important adjustment device used in fluid transportation systems. It can turn the flow on or off and control the rate and direction of flow of the fluid. There are many types and specifications of valves, with various work requirements. The working principles, advantages and disadvantages of five common types of valves are described is this article.

A light sensor is a sensor that converts light signals into electrical signals using photosensitive elements. The light sensor is usually composed of both a light projector and light receiver. Light sensors are generally composed of three elements: a light source, an optical path and optoelectronic components. The measured optical changes are converted into changes in electronic signals with the help of photoelectric components. With the growth and development of Internet of Things technology, the application of light sensors is entering all aspects of daily life.

When reading or hearing about the semiconductor industry, we often hear the term wafer mentioned. But what exactly is a so-called wafer? What does an “8 inch” or “12 inch” wafer refer to? How difficult is it to produce large-sized wafers? The following is a step-by-step introduction to the most important foundation of semiconductors, the wafer.

A new generation of HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) is replacing the traditional buttons, indicators and selectors used to control machines with updated technology and components that reduce the dependence on a large number of display panels and cables. HMIs reduce operating costs and their advanced functions enhance monitoring of equipment.

When it comes to maintenance tools, many people strongly recommend electric tools. They come in many varieties, are easy to use, and have low prices, so are especially suitable for home use. There is another powerful and efficient category of tools that are widely used in the tool industry that operate by air pressure; pneumatic tools. So, what is the difference between the two, and how should one choose? Let’s compare.

Gears are mechanical parts with teeth that mesh with each other to transmit motion and power in mechanical equipment. Because the ratio of transmission in gears is set, their perfect accuracy makes them ideal for precision machinery.

As a biproduct of the COVID pandemic, the global demand for telemedicine has increased significantly. An increased focus has been placed on the development of digital medical care to improve medical efficiency and provide comprehensive health coverage. Telemedicine care is set to become the "New Normal", and the integration of AI with medical technology will continue to accelerate this important trend in information flow.

A charging station is a device that supplies electric energy for electric vehicles (including pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles), similar to the gas station used in fuel vehicles. How does it work and in what scenarios? Let’s find out.

Injection molding machines, also, simply known as injection machines, are special machines for manufacturing plastic products. There are many types of injection molding machines, and they can be classified according to their power mode, mold opening and closing direction, applicable raw materials used, mold clamping structure, and injection structure.

With the rapid growth of the global electric vehicle market, research and development of the materials used in new electric vehicles has been accelerated. Improvements in infrastructure, such as an increase in the number of charging stations being used, has also become commonplace. When consumers buy electric vehicles, they hope to enjoy the convenience of being able to travel distances similar to those realized by internal combustion engine vehicles before needing to be refueled. So, the development of batteries with high storage capacity and short recharging times, as well as light-weight vehicle bodies that will reduce power consumption, has received much attention.

Hardware can be seen everywhere and used everywhere in our lives, especially on some large and small machines, many parts of which are made of hardware. It can be used separately or as an auxiliary, such as hardware tools, hardware parts, daily hardware, construction hardware and security supplies, etc. Let's learn what hardware includes and the classification of hardware accessories.

The indexing plate is mainly used for milling machines, but also commonly used for drilling machines and surface grinders. It can be used for index drilling or milling, circumferential cutting, circumferential surface machining, straight line machining of planes and part of line segments.

RFID and NFC are both short-range wireless communication technologies. Since the former uses a variety of frequency bands, and the latter is developed for use in the mobile market, the development and application fields of the two are also different. RFID mainly focuses on radio frequency identification, which can be applied to the identification of items. Now RFID has been widely used in all walks of life; NFC mainly focuses on near-field communication and is used with mobile devices to achieve the application of mobile payment. In this article, we will talk more about the technologies and applications of RFID and NFC.

Surface treatment is a process for artificially forming a surface layer with different mechanical, physical and chemical properties on the surface of the substrate. The purpose of surface treatment is to have the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decoration or other special functional requirements of the product. For metal castings, the more commonly used surface treatment methods are mechanical grinding, chemical treatment, surface heat treatment, and spraying the surface. The following will talk about details among all these different methods.

Humans and robots working together can greatly reduce enterprise costs and improve team work efficiency. Such a “Human-Robot-Collaboration, HRC” model is bound to become the mainstream in the future, bringing industrial innovation and a more convenient life.

Die casting, called pressure casting, is a metal casting process characterized by the use of a mold cavity to apply high pressure to molten aluminum or zinc alloys. Die casting molds are often developed from stronger alloys, a process somewhat similar to injection molding. Most die-casting workpieces are iron-free, such as zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead, tin, and lead-tin alloys. According to the different requirements of the type of die casting, a cold chamber die casting machine or a hot chamber die casting machine is configured for die casting processing.

The advanced processing device and the high-efficiency CNC tool can give full play to its effect and obtain good economic benefits. Because the tool is subjected to high pressure, high temperature, friction, shock and vibration when cutting. Material is an important factor affecting the cutting ability of a tool, and also has a considerable impact on processing efficiency, processing quality, processing cost and tool durability.
