Analytical Gear Chart Interpretation

November 13—Live Online Course

This course is an introduction to the methodology of analytical gear inspection and the evaluation and interpretation of the resulting data. The application of this information to identify and correct manufacturing errors will begin to be explored. Additionally, it reviews chart interpretation and applies inspection data to understand the causes and cures of manufacturing errors. Many chart examples are used to understand cause and effect.

Reverse Engineering

November 18–19—Live Online Course

Reverse engineering a gear system is not too unusual a task, and in many, but not all, cases, the process goes fairly well; thus, it is easy to become complacent. It is important, however, to fully understand the process and the best practice procedure for reverse engineering a gear system. Failure to fully follow best practice can result, at best, in an unhappy gear user, but in the worst case, it can lead to very expensive, time-consuming, and reputation-damaging litigation.

Condition Monitoring

December 2–3—Live Online Course

In this course, we will examine each of these questions and the interrelation of each with a primary focus on how this information can be used to define the actions required to keep the gearbox running properly and to allow maintenance planning.

Beyond the Humanoid Hype: Why Collaborative Mobile Robots are the Real Factory Floor Revolution

Beyond the Humanoid Hype: Why Collaborative Mobile Robots are the Real Factory Floor Revolution

Robotics Tomorrow

The robotics industry is in the midst of a fascinating paradox. Prototypes of humanoid, general-purpose robots steal mainstream headlines, but the real robotic transformations happening on factory floors and in warehouses are an entirely different breed of automated machine. Collaborative mobile robots are already delivering measurable results for companies across a variety of industries, and they’re fulfilling promises that the sci-fi-esque robots can only dream of one day tackling.
