Improving the productivity of a manufacturing process by speeding up the operation of an old machine can be very difficult, driving plant managers to purchase new equipment. It's often possible, however, to replace the control system, maintaining the old mechanics, and get the performance of a new machine for much lower cost. Hydraulics distributor CMA / Flodyne / Hydradyne (CMAFH) of Hanover Park, Illinois, recently assisted in such an upgrade for a manufacturer of fastening components.

The Evolution of Automotive Testing

One of the main roles of automotive component test labs is to validate the structural integrity of automotive components and verify that they are manufactured to meet or exceed design specifications. It is a lot less expensive overall to make sure that a component part is sound before the component goes into a larger assembly and before physical testing of a completed vehicle. Structural testing of a ball joint, for example, is done to make sure that when it's put into a vehicle it will last. (Fluid Power Journal August 2016)
