Whether you are designing a battery for a new automotive EV design, industrial or consumer electronics, or any innovative battery product in this rapidly accelerating space, you have the same engineering goals: Performance, Lifespan, and Safety. The charge and discharge cycles of lithium-ion...

Evaluate Engine Gaskets With Pressure Distribution Challenge An important factor in maximizing the efficiency of an engine is making sure the combustion opening is properly sealed through the entire combustion cycle. Decisions need to be made about the block and head structure, fasteners, lubricants...

Battery formation is a pivotal stage in the manufacture of batteries, determining their performance and longevity. This process involves the initial electrochemical transformation of raw materials, shaping the battery's efficiency and stability. Through controlled charge and discharge cycles, the...

Background Having proper nip roll alignment is crucially important for high-volume printing press machines. Five minutes of run time on misaligned rolls can result in thousands of dollars in damaged product. Depending on the size and location of the nip, taking nip measurements can be difficult...

Background Most electronic assembly processes are performed by high-precision robotic systems. These systems are tasked to properly move and insert delicate components onto a circuit board. As a result, the assembly robots must be checked frequently for changes in alignment that can occur with...

Background The food packaging industry must always maintain high standards for their packaging seals. These standards are to protect the consumer from tampering and/or receiving damaged product. Sealing bars are used to properly seal two parts of a package in a high temperature environment, and...

Background Ultrasonic welding machines are used to create uniform seals, which are vitally important for containing products like contact lenses. In the ultrasonic welding process, thermoplastics are bonded together through the use of heat and applied force. A damaged seal can result in leaky...

Optimize Medical Device Functionality Challenge Manufacturers and researchers continuously strive to validate or improve efficiency and accuracy of medical devices and precision tools. Whether evaluating the effectiveness of a surgical apparatus or ensuring the fit of a health-monitoring device...

Automotive Door Pressure Wind, noise, and water leaks in a new vehicle can be a significant source of customer dissatisfaction, create a perception of poor quality, and cause warranty expenses. Proper adjustment of hinges and door latches while the car is in the factory and the doors are being...

Evaluate Coil Spring Pressure Distribution Engineers can take many approaches to designing coil springs. Some designers will clip the end of the spring "square"; creating a small high-pressure point at the end of the spring that transfers load eccentrically. Other designers bend the last coil to be...
