AB Dynamics’ updated suspension parameter measuring machine (SPMM), the SPMM5000, is a fixed ground plane kinetics and compliance test machine that measures suspension parameters and characteristics like the SPMM4000 on which it is based.
The demand for innovative manufacturing technology that produces lighter parts with stronger material grows each day in the competitive aerospace industry. 3-D printing, also known as “additive manufacturing,” is at the center of this innovation.
With 76% high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, larger welds, and extensive use of structural adhesives, the design is predicted to get top ratings from NHTSA and IIHS. Other highlights are a direct-injection 3.3-L V6, hands- and feet-free liftgate, and UVO infotainment with new eServices.
There is more and more demand from design engineers to increase the operating temperature range up to 250°C with load, which means a junction temperature at the resistive layer level of 270°C.
Available for the first time in the U.S., FORGE GUARD from FUJIFILM Electronic Materials U.S.A., Inc. is a security label that offers manufacturers of automobile parts or machinery a new alternative for their brand and anti-counterfeiting protection requirements.
Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V, based on the Sonic and Fit, will use the same engines as the cars, offer all-wheel drive, slot in below Chevy Equinox and Honda CR-V.
The 2015 model carries on with the same gasoline V6 as before, but a mass reduction, reduced drag, and tweaks to the drivetrain tuning for more efficiency combine to boost fuel economy by 20%.
