The proper measurement of light is a precise and complex science. The first step in correctly measuring light is to understand the basics: Color-Rendering Properties, Color Temperature, Light Distribution, Total Luminous Flux and Mura. This white paper provides a brief explanation of each...
No system we've seen has been entirely free of water. The more complex your system is the more water is usually present in it and the more difficult it is remove.
Recent emphasis on light-weighting has foaming technologies being explored by all facets of industry. Endothermic chemical foaming agents are especially desirable due to low-to-zero impact on the environment. Different methods of nucleation to control the cells formation are offered to control...
The blow moulding process has been employed since about
1950, though its application to polyamides came much later. In recent years the development of technical blow moulding materials has been pushed ahead, so that there are now a considerable variety of them.
With Polyamide 6 there are now...

Everything from being able to minimize downtime by improving production
efficiency with drag & drop scheduling tied to MRP and purchasing,
to attaining simple cost control over resin price fluctuation and customer
pricelists, to real time inventory management that considers WIP,...
PTFE is a truly unique material that occupies a niche all of its own. The two distinctive factors of
mechanical property retention over a wide range of temperatures and an ultra-low coefficient of
friction have enabled PTFE to establish itself in key market areas where it is...
Compared to the previous version of the K-SWE-4K-75-V/RS, this newly redesigned backflush screen changer with proven power backflush technology includes improvements. The 75% technology is applied, so that only 1 out of 4 screens is taken out of the production during backflush or screen change....
During the past decade, products incorporating lenticular materials have grown rapidly and continue to do so. The lenticular technology research reported in this paper demonstratively shows the performance improvement of both the pseudo-elliptical and true-elliptical lenticular lens array...
Take a look inside the four basic steps of the staking process and discover how Infrastake harnesses infrared light to join plastics together in an innovative way.
The process of staking plastic parts has been dominated by three main methods; hot air, thermal, and ultrasonic. Each method has...
