Wire erosion is a machining method for use on hard metals that would be almost impossible to machine with traditional techniques.  It is also sometimes known as EDM and ‘spark machining’ because of the way it works to shape the metal or work piece.
Wire erosion removes and shapes metal by producing a series of rapid [...]

A front anti-roll bar is a vehicle suspension device that connects opposite wheels together through short lever arms.  A front anti-roll bar is obviously at the head of the car but sway bars as they are also known are also installed at the back of the vehicle. 
Front anti-roll bars increase the stiffness of the suspension’s [...]

Torsion springs are springs that work by twisting with the amount of force or torque varying dependent on the amount it is twisted.  Torsion tubes are just one type of torsion spring and are straight bars of metal or rubber that are subjected to twisting around the axis by torque applied at the ends.  There [...]

Torsion springs are springs that work by twisting with the amount of force or torque varying dependent on the amount it is twisted.  There are three main types of torsion spring; torsion bar, torsion fibre and a helical torsion spring, each built to work in a slightly different way.
Some of the applications torsion springs are [...]

Sodick have been manufacturing EDM (electrical discharge machining) equipment since 1976 and have made over 40,000 units in that time.  Sodick machines are used to produce dies and molds amongst other applications that standard machining methods cannot deliver.
Sodick machines have earned them the position of market leader with their durability and high quality.  Sodick do [...]

Any engine uses oil to function but in turbo charged models oil scavenging can become an issue.  Any restriction in the draining of oil can send it immediately past the exhaust seals, as in systems mounted below the engine oil level as well.
Scavenge pumps are used in dry sump systems to return oil from the [...]

Renishaw was established over 30 years ago when the current chairman invented the touch-trigger probe to solve a specific inspection requirement for the Olympus engine used on concorde.  They have since built countless Renishaw probes to meet the requirements of their clients in a number of industries.
Renishaw probes are measuring machines that can acquire several [...]

Milling machines are computer controlled machine tools used for shaping metal and other solid materials.  They are vertical mills that have the ability to move along the Z-axis as well as the usual X and Y, making it particularly useful for applications like relief sculptures.
Milling machines are a particularly versatile style of machine, as the [...]

Maraging steel is an iron alloy known for being vastly strong and tough without losing malleability.  It is a special class of low carbon ultra-high strength steel but it draws its strength from precipitation of inter-metallic compounds rather than carbon.
Due to the low carbon content maraging steel has good machinability and weldability, making it ideal [...]

Linishers are also known as a belt sanders or band facers. They are comprised of a moving horizontal or vertical belt of tough sand or emery paper that moves over two rollers to give wood or steel a smooth edge.  Linishers can be purchased in a range of sizes from 50mm to 500mm, depending on [...]
