All three versions have PCB screw pillars in the top and base. Rubber feet ensure stable positioning on flat surfaces. Torx assembly screws prevent tampering – perfect for medical applications.

The CL5 5-axis workholding system consists of a subplate, riser, and top tooling made from a vise or a fixture plate. The subplate transforms a T-slot table into a modular fixturing plate, allowing flexible and easy clamping and locating of other tooling and/or fixtures. Every plate has built-in clamping and locating for risers, allowing for quick and accurate setups. The Quintus quick-change riser allows 5-side part access to remove a part from the machine table. The system combines the riser, quick-change capability, and precise location in one piece. Several versions of fixture plates, vises, and jaws are available.

I suspect this "announcement" was very rushed after AMD’s recent announcement of their new DirectX 11 part that seems to outperform anything Nvidia has out at the moment and at a lower price point. Combine that with Intel’s snub on producing chipsets for new/relevant PC platforms and one can imagine that Nvidia was anxious to appear competitive. Nvidia is in for a VERY tough slog.

“There has been a trend to reduce wall thicknesses [in toys] over the years in an effort to reduce material costs without affecting performance of the product,” explains Brian Gourley, North American sales manager at Sonics & Materials Inc., which has supplied equipment to Hasbro and other toy companies. “This has caused us to approach welding the product differently so as to not cause any diaphragming (creating an unintentional hole) to the assembly.”

“The thread runout forms the end of the bearing thread section to the screw head,” says Büchle. “With thin metals, this is a function-critical characteristic. It must be designed as short as possible, due to the shorter screw-in depths and clamping thicknesses.”

These brand advocates, as evidenced by hundreds of full disclosure statements on blogs and Facebook groups, are generally very concerned about transparency because they know that it is easier to lose followers over dishonest reviews than it is to gain them.

” I can’t begin to guess the number of screws I’ve launched into that “BLACK HOLE”, while trying to put one of them back in place.”

When former Rhode Island senator and governor Lincoln Chafee formally jumped into the presidential race on Wednesday, he made a splash. There are good reasons to take Chafee’s bid seriously, but his speech drew the most attention for a less-conventional proposal. “Let’s join the rest of the world and go metric,” he said.

A great Initiative – much needed to bring back the Best practices that paved the way forward for today’s Ad and Marketing World. Kudos, Dawn !!!

Until a few years ago, Pakistani audiences turned to the news for entertainment. This was primarily because seeing politicians drilled on the media and watching talk shows that were the verbal equivalent of a WWF wrestling match was a novel experience for a society that had lived through martial law and media repression for much of its existence.
