Hans WEBER Sales & Service, Olathe, Kansas 66071, 913-254-1611, sales@weberamerica.com, www.weberamerica.com Remote Monitoring of All Connected Metrology Devices     A web-based platform has been introduced by coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, Inc. to help production departments monitor and control inspection activities around the clock. Adaptive Controls: Effectively Addressing Workpiece-Variation Challenges in Resistance Welding Resistance welding (RW) has evolved into an automated process known for its high production rate for joining different metal alloys together without the need for additional material, such as filler metals. Still, RW has its challenges. To address the wide range of workpiece variations during RW, shops must be able to monitor multiple process variables simultaneously, and instantly react to counteract the effect of the variations. This is readily achieved with properly equipped adaptive RW-process controls. Such controls automatically adjust to the conditions of each weld by detecting unwanted conditions. Sponsored The Risk of Outdated Software The decision to replace or upgrade from an outdated ERP system can often be a difficult one, because employees grow comfortable with it.  However, it’s probably weighing you down. With the speed at which technology is advancing, manufacturers can no longer afford to continue using outdated ERP systems. Read on to learn why a modern ERP system built for manufacturing business growth may be the most important step you take for the success of your company. 20-kW Laser for 24/7 Use     Eagle Fiber Laser, a Power-Tech brand, has released what it claims to be the world’s first 20-kW fiber laser cutting machine, able to cut 0.75-in.-thick steel at 120-160 in./min. and providing reliability for 24/7 operation.
