Meadville, PA – The Sodick VRE Series Vertical Micro Injection Molding Press, made in Japan, is their first ever 5-ton vertical molding press delivered to the United States. This new series of molding presses were just released this past year at the NPE2015 plastic industry show. This 5 ton unit will be used for a high precision medical automation project.

After a year of everyone clamoring over their reshoring efforts, all of a sudden the bell tolls due to the annual U.S. Reshoring Index from A.T. Kearney. The report finds that there is a drastic decrease in announced reshoring cases due to increased cases of offshoring and nearshoring, fluctuating strength of the U.S. dollar and oil prices, and a tightening U.S. labor market in manufacturing.

NuTec’s latest proprietary product, the TrayTender 2100, is an automated system that can be efficiently used as either a tray loader or tray un-loader. The TrayTender 2100 and its unique base lighting, is the latest installment of NuTec Tooling’s TrayTender product family.
Manufacturing processes are evolving at a lightning speed. The processes that were effective only 5 years ago may no longer be applicable in today’s environment. It is therefore essential for plant managers to keep up with new and emergent automation processes, as well as evolving customer demands. By identifying the needs of customers in today’s marketplace, the plant can implement an industrial automation strategy that is targeted towards satisfying those needs.
Following best practices for automation results in plant wide control, improved scalability and more efficient operations. Let’s look at some of these industrial automation best practices.
NuTec Tooling Systems, Inc. has announced plans to expand their current facility located in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The 2,650 square-foot expansion will consists primarily of office space intended for collaborative use by engineers working on NuTec’s design-build projects. New offices for engineers, a dedicated office for partners, and an enlarged conference room will be added as part of the project.
As the health care industry grows, medical device manufacturers have to keep up the pace of production while continuing to minimize costs. According to SelectUSA, the medical device market in the U.S. generates $140 billion, or about 40 percent of the total international market for devices. With the potential to increase sales and the scale of their operations, medical device manufacturers must carefully select their medical device component parts to be cost-efficient, high quality and revenue-driving.
Here is what you need to think about when selecting medical device component parts:
The majority of professionals involved in industrial engineering understand the challenges that control system tuning present in process industry power plants, including refining, power and mechanical processes. These challenges make trial-and-error loop tuning of plant control systems unfeasible and hazardous. Therefore, you need to implement an alternative method that would safeguard your safety and ensure cost efficiency. Forget about a plant upgrade, as it could surpass the original design specifications of your process operations and demand different control architecture. Instead, you should consider using modeling and simulation to help you optimize your plant control systems while staying true to the best practices for plant operations.
