Fastening Clamp is Smaller, and More Forceful and Economical
Creative thinking in the field of kinetics has led to the development of a revolutionary fastening clamp suited to applications in a variety of industries, including assembly, verification, handling, and welding. Misati, S.L., Barcelona, Spain, has supplied industrial clamps since 1979. Their newly-developed fastening clamp line is now offered in the U.S. by J.W. Winco,…
The CNC Shrinks from Industrial Size to Individual Size
Like various smaller sized rapid prototyping equipment and 3D printers, the CNC is following suit and shrinking to a “personal” size. The design concessions necessary to achieve that size are fewer than you might think. The term ‘Personal CNC’ describes the new Tormach mill and correlates to the first personal computers when they shrank in…

Easy Tightening
Joining parts with nuts and bolts is a fairly simple process, until you run into large diameter applications where safely and accurately bolting your machinery can become difficult. The difficulty arises because the strength of a screw fastener increases with the square of its diameter, but the torque required increases with the third power. In…
