To manufacturers, time is money. Their goal is to make manufacturing processes better, faster and more cost effective while preserving the integrity of the assembly process and the quality of the product.

Manufacturers often choose light curing materials for assembly applications because of their bonding effectiveness, rapid cure time and process efficiencies. With so many adhesives and so much equipment on the market, where should manufacturers start? Here Peter Swanson, Managing Director at Intertronics, shares three tips for manufacturers operating UV curing processes.

Anyone working in engineering will know that it takes time to perfect a design. The iterative process strives to develop the initial idea through design and prototyping until it reaches the desired result.

Marking International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) on Sunday 23 June, HS2 Ltd has produced a short film which subverts the stereotype of what an engineer looks like, challenging the out-dated masculine preconceptions of an industry that is rapidly becoming more gender-inclusive.

In 2018, the New South Wales Government faced embarrassment after ordering $2 billion worth of new trains that were too wide for the tunnels.

When designers at a leading manufacturer of professional and domestic aluminium ladders needed safety-critical fasteners that they could rely on for the expected lifetime of their product, they turned to Bollhoff for a solution.

Embedded systems are now moving into a new phase of complexity and functionality. Even systems that most would consider to be relatively simple are reaching the point where more sophisticated control is needed to maintain their position in the market. This has a knock-on effect on the criteria development teams need to use when they select hardware platforms.
