Tribology and automation
Tribology, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, plays a crucial role in industrial automation. Selecting the right sealing materials can improve the efficiency of automation systems by minimizing friction and wear. This is particularly relevant in CNC machining processes, where precision and durability are essential.
New platforms for aluminium products
RVS Products has launched an innovative platform, Metalnxt, for ordering stainless steel and aluminium tubes and profiles. This platform makes it easier for companies to obtain high-quality materials that are essential for CNC production. Aluminium, such as 6061-T6, is a popular choice in the industry due to its strength and machinability.
3D printing technologies and aluminum
3D printing continues to evolve with new materials and technologies. A notable development is the use of basalt fiber composites for military applications, which offers new possibilities for the integration of aluminum into advanced manufacturing processes. 3D-printed structures are also being used increasingly often in the construction industry, which increases the demand for innovative material combinations.
Events and auctions in the industry
The recent Welding Week and Metal Subcontracting trade fair in Antwerp highlight the growing interest in welding technology and metalworking. At the same time, online auctions of machinery and materials, such as the one held by Uitslag in Oldenzaal, offer opportunities for companies to expand their capacity with new or used equipment.
At Monk Machining, we stay up to date with these developments to provide our customers with the best CNC machining solutions. Whether it involves processing aluminium or integrating new technologies, our team is ready to support you with your production challenges.
