Hurco Companies, Inc. and Indianapolis-based race team Ed Carpenter Racing (ECR) recently announced a continuation of their long-standing partnership.

The collaboration aims to reduce the nation’s reliance on foreign sources of battery materials.

Traditional measurement methods struggle with complex geometries and modern plastic parts. Advanced vision measuring systems offer advantages for automotive manufacturers, but traditional tools are still preferable in some areas.

Digital twins replicate real-world environments digitally, aiding manufacturers in optimizing processes and improving safety and performance.

Real-time data acquisition prevents defective parts at an auto parts manufacturer.

In the competitive electric vehicle (EV) industry, perfecting the battery tray's aluminum weld design is critical. It houses essential components and safety ensuring precise integration is crucial to prevent potential hazards such as torsion-induced bending of both the battery tray and the vehicle body due to thermal expansion of battery cells.

The new campus will focus on battery research, manufacturing, and recycling, with the West Midlands Gigafactory as its anchor tenant.

Air gauges are non-contact devices that utilize air pressure for measurement. They play a crucial role in ensuring precision and quality control in the manufacturing industry, from automotive to aerospace industries. They are particularly valuable for measuring delicate or easily deformable materials.

Traditional machine vision used rule-based programming for controlled environments but struggled in less controlled settings. Edge learning AI, operating directly on vision systems, enhances machine vision's power and usability, revolutionizing quality assurance and manufacturing processes.

A leading aircraft manufacturer faces $27B in losses due to slow supply chain fixes, aggravated by escalating quality standards like AS9102 Rev C. The solution lies in seamless communication of requirements from buyers to suppliers, streamlining operations for all parties involved.
