Machine control technologies range from 2D and 3D grade control to automation, robotic control, and augmented reality. GPS/3D control – eliminating the need for placing stringline by hand – is ...

Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

One of the major advantages of Swiss-type lathes is how much action gets squeezed into a comparatively small work area. This enables the machine tool to dramatically increase the efficiency of part ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...

Professionals in the construction industry know that “There’s a price tag to every minute on a job site,” says Ashley Pittman, the GPS manager at Brent Scarbrough and Co. The need for the most ...

Machine control systems, which combine positioning sensors — both GNSS receivers and inertial systems — with computer displays, give operators better insight into and control over their work. Whether ...

The steering wheel and mechanical levers on the earlier Caterpillar motor grader model (above) have been replaced with joysticks on a new Cat motor grader (below). The ergonomic changes reduce ...

The Silicon Review explores how stretch film machines gain momentum as manufacturers reassess packaging efficiency, cost ...

In food drying applications, machine learning has demonstrated strong capability in predicting drying rates, moisture ...
