Pairing Sensor Types with the Problems They Address—Press Controls and Sensors Series, Part 2 When developing a die-sensor connection scheme, metal formers can rely on certain sensors for specific applications. Diffuse reflective photosensors, inductive proximity sensors and electromechanical material-buckle sensors are purpose-built to detect part ejection, feed progression and material buckle. Sponsored Watch: Twin 2,000 Ton AIDA Servo Transfer Presses Wico Metal Products, headquartered in Warren, MI, is the technical leader in automotive extrusion stampings with 30+ years of extrusion experience. Their stamping line-up includes two AIDA servo transfer presses. Watch these mirror image presses stamping parts at up to 28 spm and see their joint t-track moving bolsters now. U.S. Manufacturing Output Increases in March; February Data Revised Higher Production at U.S. factories increased solidly in March as output at motor vehicle assembly plants and elsewhere rose, suggesting that manufacturing had turned the corner after being constrained by higher borrowing costs. Manufacturing output rose 0.5% last month after an upwardly revised 1.2% rebound the prior month, the Federal Reserve reports. Sponsored Great Designs in Steel ’24 Great Designs in Steel is the premier event where automotive engineering, design, technology and academic leaders provide valuable insight on the latest trends and material applications on new cars and trucks. GDIS has celebrated more than 20 years and this all-day, multi-track program will feature industry topics on advanced high-strength steels, future mobility, automotive advancements and manufacturing technologies while discussing the lightweighting, durability and sustainability benefits of steel. Going In-Depth on ERP and Industry 4.0 Mark your calendar for August 13-14, 2024, as MetalForming magazine and the Precision Metalforming Association host an informative forum on Industry 4.0 applications for metal formers and fabricators, and tour of some of the industry’s leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) software systems. WATCH: Microfactories Could be the Future of Manufacturing As this video from the World Economic Forum shows, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered microfactories are making waves in the manufacturing world. These small, highly automated facilities leverage machine learning and big data to drive production while minimizing space needs. AI in Manufacturing Makes Impressions at INTECH Artificial intelligence was the hottest topic discussed at INTECH, and event hosted by Trumpf in Germany earlier this month. AI is the key to greater productivity and competitiveness in industrial manufacturing because it helps fabricators and metal formers evaluate machine data more efficiently, detect errors, and automate production, the technology manufacturer says.  Three MetalForming LIVE Virtual Events Scheduled for Summer 2024 The three-part virtual MetalForming LIVE series this summer takes place July 10 and 24, and August 6, bringing together multiple metal forming experts to discuss technologies, trends and more.
