A lot goes into a successful metalworking operation, from a skilled workforce to reliable equipment. Chief among these components is the effective cooling of tools and workpieces. This is where metalworking fluids like coolants and lubricants come into play, as they reduce the heat and friction produced by machining processes. Without these fluids, corrosion within the unit and raw [...]
Carryover (also known as carryback) is an issue that can cause maintenance issues for even the most efficient stamping operation. In addition to the potential production and revenue lost, these delays can also lead to injuries when workers attempt to clear any blockages. Regardless of if the material being conveyed consists of slugs, trim pieces, or stringy turnings, PRAB [...]

Educating stakeholders: From Liability to Circularity For an industry characterized by technological advancements, many aerospace manufacturers are slow to elevate waste management and recovery processes. Too often, these processes are considered secondary to production. That approach will gradually erode an organization’s bottom line, as environmental compliance becomes increasingly stringent and the shift to a circular economy accelerates. Aerospace manufacturing [...]
