Polyester Prices Are Rising In The Textile Market

The prices of man-made fibers intermediates were largely governed by the volatile crude oil values in 2006. Oil prices rose significantly by 18-20% during the year. This was over and above the 36-40% increase recorded in 2005. The surge is attributed to geo-political issues and unrest in the middle-east.

An Introduction to Rotary Hot Stamping

This article as featured in Labels and Labeling (Issue 5, 2005) provides an easy to understand introduction to the rotary hot stamping process. Once read the knowledge gained will help with your material and equipment selection decisions.

Coil Binding Machines

Coil, or spiral, binding is the most familiar type of binding technology that may be usually seen in blank notebooks. Binding is a procedure by which pages and cover of a book are bound together by using a ribbon sewn along an edge of a book for support or beautification. Generally, bound documents last longer than unbound documents.

Homemade Wire EDM Machines

EDM in an engineering term referring to electrical discharge machining. Wire electrical discharge machining or EDM is a metalworking process with help of which a material is separated from a conductive work piece, by means of electrical erosion. In this process, the wire never comes in contact with the conductive work piece. The wire electrode leaves a path on the work piece, which is slightly larger than the wire. Most often a 0.010' wire is used, which creates a 0.013' to 0.014' gap. The wire electrode once passed through the work piece cannot be reused.

What Is Wire EDM?

Wire electrical discharge machining or EDM, is the process by which hard metals, which previously could not be manipulated or machined by conventional methods, can be machined and designed with electrical erosion.

What Is Lean Manufacturing?

Lean Manufacturing is a strategy followed by various industries to ensure a low cost manufacturing system to generate the maximum output. The strategy was first implemented by Henry ford, the owner of the Ford Motor Company, which made a huge impact on the American Manufacturing Industry. Since its implementation the focus of the industrialists have been on optimizing the quality and the profit levels minimizing the production costs.

Home Machine Shops

A profession or hobby that uses a power-driven machine tool such as a lathe or drill to shape metal, is known as machining. The person specializing in its use is called a machinist. A machine shop that is run from home is called a home machine shop.

Aerospace Machine Shops

Aerospace machine shops produce complex machinery such as high precision satellites and scientific instruments. This machinery is used in various arenas of space research and other programs that use aerospace as their field of study and performance.

Woolen Products Can Be Protected From Shrinking

We are right in the middle of the winter season. Everywhere it's snowy and cold. People remain confined to their homes or offices wearing their favorite sweater and other woolen accessories to stay warm through out the day. Some prefer bonfire which is kindled in their garden or even in the confines of the living room.

Metal Working Lubricants - A History of Industrial Lubrication

Metal working is an old and skilled industry - primitive man first discovered the importance of metal working and the Romans and Egyptians were both skilled in it. Like many other industries, it relies heavily on lubricants to help keep things operating smoothly. Today the metal working lubricant market accounts for around 5% of the total lubricant market.
