EMA – Truck & Engine Manufacturers Association The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved sweeping new regulations affecting heavy-duty trucks sold in the state. The Omnibus LowNOX Rule includes a 90% reduction in tailpipe NOX emissions, plus nine additional regulatory requirements on new heavy-duty truck and engines. Those additional requirements include a 50 percent reduction in particulate matter emissions, stringent new low-load and idle standards, an unproven in-use testing protocol, unworkable extended deterioration requirements, a new California-only credit program, and extended and costly mandatory warranty requirements.

AGMA Learn the common, current and basics of the tools and techniques used to measure and inspect gears. There are four main categories by which a gear evaluated and classified. Gear design, manufacture and inspection are based on numerical scale that defines gear quality. The methodology to measure and techniques required to quantify quality of a gear tooth form will be thoroughly investigated and explained. It is often stated that quality cannot be inspected into the part, however inspection can tell us what to do to correct many issues.

Manufacturing companies can be particularly vulnerable to digital threats nowadays, even if it doesn’t seem that way at first.

Wired Magazine In February, A lobbyist friend urged Erik Satorius, the executive director of the Kansas League of Municipalities, to look at a newly introduced bill that would affect cities. The legislation involved “personal delivery device” — robots that, as if in a sci-fi movie, might deliver a bag of groceries, a toolbox or a prescription to your doorstep — allowing them to operate on any sidewalk or crosswalk in Kansas at speeds up to 6 miles per hour, the pace of a quick human jog.

Industry Week In the 1990s Toyota’s principles of production equipment became “simple, slim and flexible,” which some people might interpret as “go slow and be cautious in adopting new technology.” The real message here is: “adopt and adapt technology that supports your people and processes.” The starting point is this: where are real needs that technology can address to help achieve your goals? This is a question of pulling technology based on the opportunity, instead of pushing the technology because it is the latest fad.
