By developing the sensor for the tyre, TPMS manufacturers have to consider the limiting characteristics of the chosen energy supply which is mostly a lithium CR-battery. DSM Somos introduced nanotechnology for stereolithography during Euromold 2003 with the announcement of Nanoform, the latest in the Protocomposites product line. The humble 'O' ring, or toroidal seal, is an exceptionally versatile sealing device. Applications ranging from garden hose couplings to critical aerospace or refinery duties make it the world's most popular volume-produced seal. With a cross section of just 15x20mm, Safe400 safety light curtains (Type4 according to IEC/EN61496-1,-2) are suitable for integrating into smaller machines where space is limited or if a less intrusive light curtain is desired. Sami Salila examines three examples of how low-profile clamps have been used to get the best out of machining centres. Volker Junior and Mike Shellabear look at the impact of producing parts quickly and cost-effectively directly from electronic data. Stereolithography has proved to be one of the most popular rapid prototyping technologies due to the high accuracy and the variety of materials, which, together, mean that models produced this way can be used as masters for vacuum casting and as form and fit prototypes.
