Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold. Plastic processing machinery and plastic extrusion machinery are used in plastic injection molding industries. After 100 years of development, plastic extrusion has gone from single screw to twin-screw, multiple screw (or no screw) to other more advanced processes. Plastic processing machinery […]
This article has been updated and re-posted at https://www.precision-elec.com/eaton-power-board-failure-2-2/ Eaton power board failure is a common problem among Eaton drive users. The main reason most Eaton drives fail is due to power board or control board failure. Power board failure is usually caused from either Eaton drives reaching the end of their life cycle or neglecting preventative maintenance of […]
ABB ACS800 drives are designed to boost the productivity of industrial processes, improve energy efficiency and cut maintenance costs. ABB ACS800 drives are available directly from stock or can be built to order to meet more complex requirements. ABB ACS800 drives are available both as complete AC drives and as modules to meet user, OEM or system integrator […]
Modern food and beverage manufacturing from the 19th and 20th centuries began mainly to serve military needs. In 1809 Nicolas Appert invented an airtight bottling technique used to preserve food for French troops that contributed to the development of tinning, followed by canning by Peter Durand in 1810. Canning was expensive and hazardous because lead was used […]
The increasing requirements being placed on food and beverage manufacturing are accompanied by growing demands on the machines in the consumer goods industry. The end customers in this industry are demanding machines and production lines with maximum availability, while calling for flexible product retooling and format changes as well as simple, consistent operator control of the machinery. Long […]
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold. Injection molding can be performed with metals, glasses, confections, and plastic thermoforming. Material for injection molding parts is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and then forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the specifications of the cavity. After an engineer […]
Precision Electric offers Lenze drive repair because manufacturers cannot afford downtime when equipment fails. Most Lenze drives are replaceable but Lenze drives that aren’t in stock have extensive lead times. Lenze drive repair is usually less expensive than Lenze drive replacement. Precision Electric offers free Lenze drive repair quotes to customers who have failed Lenze equipment. […]
Harmonic Distortion is any distorted voltage and current waveform that deviates from an ideal sinusoidal waveform. Harmonic distortion presents potential harm and equipment downtime to electrical components. Non-linear loads connected to the electrical supply in facilities cause harmonics (waveform distortions) on the power distribution system. Common non-linear loads include solid state motor soft starters, variable frequency drives, […]
