  1. Don’t Get Your Signals Crossed: How Encoders Support Manufacturing

    Two SICK Incremental Encoders

    In the world of manufacturing, precision is paramount. Every tiny movement of a machine needs to be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure consistent, high-quality performance and production. This is where encoders come in! Encoders are essentially sensors that convert physical motion into digital pulses or electrical signals. These signals can then be read by a control device, which is used to determine an object’s position, angle, and rotation counts – data that is crucial for machines moving exactly as they should.

  10. The Most Flexible Route to Thermal Management: Parker E-Z Form Hose

    Parker E-Z Form Hose tied in a knot to demonstrate flexibility

    When it comes to mobile and industrial equipment, efficient cooling and fluid handling are non-negotiable. Unfortunately, traditional hose solutions often involve rigid pre-formed hoses or complex metal tubing for proper routing. This can lead to increased costs, longer installation times, and an increase in the number of potential leak points in your system. Parker Hannifin is here to eliminate the hassle with E-Z Form hose, an innovative solution that allows you to be more flexible with your thermal management!

     

    E-Z Form hose offers unparalleled flexibility, making it simple to install coolant, water, and oil suction/return lines for industrial and mobile equipment. Each hose is constructed using a helical wire design that allows it to handle extreme bends while still maintaining full flow. This versatile routing solution can take the place of tightly routed pre-formed hose and tube assemblies, which helps you cut costs, reduce installation time, decrease system
