USED MACHINE TOOLS – Part 2 A machine tool is typically powered by electrically, hydraulically, or via line shaft and is used to make manufactured components by cutting or grinding on metal. There are approximately 600 machine tool brands and 7500 new models to choose from. However, the global economy crisis put pay to using [...]
USED MACHINE TOOLS Falling into the category of capital goods as it does, new machine tools have been greatly affected by the new credit system. The sale of machine tools was negatively affected by the freezing of capital expenditure and because of its dependence upon the end-users in the manufacturing and automobile industries. Therefore consumers [...]
Vehicle Driving With One Hand A device has been developed that allows people with reduced mobility or weakness in the upper torso to drive a vehicle with one hand. During the 13th EAEC European Automotive Congress, the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia presented a prototype that eliminates the need of a steering wheel. The prototype [...]
A Sense of Smell From Your TV Researchers at the University of California, San Diego in collaboration with Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology in Korea have shown research that demonstrates that it is possible to generate odour at will. They want to develop a compact device that is small enough to fit at the back [...]
A New Sensor That Can Measure Structural Stresses and Heal Itself When Broken North Carolina State University researchers have developed a sensor that can measure strain in structural materials and is capable of healing itself. Engineers use sensors to measure the strain or forces exerted on materials that are used to build everything from aeroplanes [...]
Mini Power Plants For Aircraft Bodies Aircraft maintenance can be both expensive and time consuming. It is much more efficient if the aeroplane can report where maintenance is needed for itself. The best solution would be a sensor system, which even has its own power supply and makes it independent of electrical wiring. EADS Germany [...]
