Fastener Express: Effective rapid prototyping concept closes the gap between development and high-volume production

For a considerable time already, the automobile industry in particular has focused on reducing the cost of purchased items in order to boost competitiveness. However, analysing the entire procurement process holds significantly more promise. This is especially true for C-parts such as screws, bolts, turned parts and precision parts, for which the process costs in purchasing are about four times the actual parts costs. This can be remedied by Fastener Express from Arnold Umformtechnik, which ensures production-ready fasteners straight out of the development phase.

BSI inclination sensors – for special demands

The new, liquid-based BSI inclination sensors from the sensor specialist Balluff detect deviations to the horizontal on an axis over a full 360° contact-free and absolutely. With an extremely high accuracy of 0.1°C, a resolution of 0.01° and a temperature drift of just 0.01% /10K, they are the ideal choice when, in complex applications, inclination angles need to be precisely detected or rotary movements must be constantly tracked.
