The audi auto on the Audi Quattro four caster drive arrangement sends adeptness to all four of the vehicle's tires which gives it huge off-road and road-gripping capabilities. Technically, this car can be labeled as an "all-wheel drive." Typically, four drive systems abandoned beatific adeptness to two car axles on the drivers que. This was because of accepted attainable and locking differentials. If all four auto are affianced on a collapsed road, it's difficult for cars to turn. However, the Audi Quattro has activate a beautiful way about that. The anatomy of their four caster drive arrangement is both able and innovative.

An OEM in Iowa differs from that profile, if only slightly, in that it uses a distinctive method to charge the hydraulic circuit on pallet-mounted fixtures used for its horizontal machining centers (HMCs). A nearby contract shop that supplies these fixtures to the OEM also uses the atypical system for some of its high-volume machining jobs.

Rather than using compressed air to charge a fixture's hydraulic circuit to secure parts for machining, this alternate technique is based on a mechanical transfer of energy. It uses a remote cylinder device that is temporarily attached to the fixture and pressurizes a completely sealed hydraulic circuit (think in terms of a car's braking system). Once parts are secured, the remote device is removed, while parts remain firmly clamped and pallet movement unrestrained.

The companies mentioned are located within a short drive of each other in central Iowa—Sauer-Danfoss in Ames and Mid-America Manufacturing (MAM) in the city of Nevada. Sauer-Danfoss produces hydraulic components for mobile equipment, so it's no surprise that the company uses fluid power to hold the pumps, motors and valves it produces at this facility during machining. MAM is both a contract machine shop and a custom fixture manufacturer. It supplies a number of fixtures to Sauer-Danfoss with the mechanical energy transfer system, and also uses that system on some of the seven HMCs in its facility.

Sauer-Danfoss has four Machining Workholding pallet systems that serve a number of HMCs. Because pallets are shuttled back and forth between loading station and machine, and because the pallets are rotated within the machine, it is impractical to have each fixture leashed with continuously attached hydraulic lines for part clamping. So the company began using a quick-disconnect hydraulic system to charge the circuit on each fixture, but found that dirt and debris were prone to enter into the hydraulic stream, leading to maintenance downtime and seal replacements.

Sauer-Danfoss has since standardized on the mechanical energy transfer method to power the hydraulic workholding circuit on the fixture. Tom Taylor, tool designer, says that his Ames facility has nearly 70 fixtures with the mechanical energy system that are used on 36 HMCs. Let's take a closer look at this hydraulic workholding technique and its main components.

Precision parts machining shops are increasingly faced with the need to accept higher-mix/lower-volume work. Putting a job on a machine tool and running it for long periods of time is not as common as it used to be, and the definition of medium- and high-volume lot sizes has changed.

To maximize production efficiency, shops look to shorten the time required to change-over a machine tool from one job to another. In a turning application, one area in which a shop can save time is workholding, generally found in the form of universal clamping devices such as the three-jaw chuck. And one practical solution is a quick-change interface.

Changing jaw chucks on lathes has always been time consuming, but some products are geared towards reducing this bottleneck. Learn about Driving System, designed for any process requiring frequent change-over, that can reduce the time needed for replacing a three-jaw chuck from 45 minutes to 30 seconds for single-part and small-series production runs.

Because of its versatility, Swiss turning has found its way deep into the precision turned parts market. To make the most of this technology, a look at workholding considerations is in order.

For the most part, workholding on a Swiss is about collets. On a conventional fixed headstock lathe, the collet and spindle are fixed. They function as a rotary axis only. The Swiss-type moving headstock uses the spindle as both a rotary and linear axis. This design allows for very close coupling of the cross-fed cutter and the point of maximum workpiece support, which is nearest the spindle nose—on a Swiss, the guide bushing.

It’s imperative we have Bearing Fixture and processes that are flexible and friendly, and make everyday actions like filing an expense report a breeze rather than a chore. While it’s our responsibility to ensure we have the right levels of control around processes, we should also have policies that empower our employees and show we trust them. All of this combines to cultivate a positive culture that removes barriers and lets employees spend their time innovating for the business.

Engage employees across the business. Also consider the different parts of the business that many CFOs now touch and how that impacts culture. For me that might entail sitting alongside our product development team to provide feedback on proposed new features for finance, or working closely with sales to help educate a prospective customer on Workday and our products, or discussing our finance goals in a town hall-style webcast shared across the company.

By partnering more closely with other company leaders, and even key stakeholders outside of the company, we can foster a sense of collaboration and openness that reverberates throughout the workforce.As CFOs, it’s true that we’re ultimately responsible for the numbers. But we also have a huge opportunity—and a responsibility—to help create a culture that inspires everyone to do their very best and work together to achieve common goals.

During the past 100 years, there has been only one major technical revolution in cars: combustion engine in 1890s. In the following 10 years, we will see not just one but four major disruptions in the industry: connectivity, electrical vehicles, self-driving and car sharing. In all of these the enabling technology is software. Where cars of today are defined by engines, cars of tomorrow will be defined by software. In this post we present two aspects of software defined car and benefits software can bring to cars.

Car of today consists of over 200 different electrical control units (ECUs) controlling the separate in-car systems. During the last decade the amount of ECUs has been increasing due to new car functions and features developed for comfort and convenience of driver. OEMs are facing a challenge of managing complexity and costs of modern vehicles.

Perfect Car: 2016 MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4. The Countryman’s rugged mountain persona and turbocharged engine confidently tackle unexpected weather, road imperfections and whatever Mother Nature has in store.Heading south in our state brings you to La Veta Pass – one of the most amazingly picturesque ways to capture fall foliage in Colorado.

Plenty of aspens and pines line the pass as you travel alongside Spanish Peaks and the Sangre de Cristo range. Break off and head further south to Taos, Santa Fe or Albuquerque and catch the end of Hatch Chile season, or beginning of the Pinon harvest.Perfect Car: 2016 MINI Cooper 4-Door Hardtop. Its additional rear-seat room, large windows and peppy turbocharged engines lend well to extended Colorado drives with friends and family. If you head to New Mexico, there’s plenty of space in the boot for chiles and Pinon, too!

Drivers heading past Glenwood Springs on I-70 notice the gradient of mountain colors changing from browns and grays to oranges and reds. The same holds true for fall foliage, as Colorado’s wine country, including Grand Junction and Palisade, brings with it shimmering aspen trees, vibrant scrub oaks and more; especially along the Grand Mesa Scenic and Historic Byway.

Perfect Car: 2016 MINI Automatic Production Line. Temperatures stay moderate in western Colorado, and there’s no better way to soak it all in than with a new MINI Convertible. If it gets chilly, its top also doubles as a large sunroof, allowing for panoramic views without the volume of cold air.

Americans have a tendency to express themselves through their cars and their pets. You know the old saw about how “pets seem to resemble their owners.” Well, you often can tell a lot about people based on the vehicles they drive. Whether it’s a pickup truck, a minivan or a luxury sedan, it seems each comes with a certain “type” of owner. And so it is with MINIs.
