Smith & Wesson® Cuts Outside Costs and Recycles Oil with Driflex™ Oil Conditioning System
|
| Company: | Pentair Industrial |
| Since 1852, Smith & Wesson® has been associated with high-performance and highprecision firearms for safety, security and protection, as well as sport. To maintain efficient production speeds and keep up with customer demand, Smith & Wesson employs manufacturing processes that use approximately 30,000 gallons of machine lube oil per year, with 19,800 gallons recycled each year. Processing and recycling this oil became a significant burden, involving the excessive costs and inconvenience of thirdparty oil treatment processes. |

Taking the Guesswork Out of Pneumatic Control
|
| Company: | Clippard Instrument Laboratory Inc |
| Designers have several options when constructing pneumatic-control systems. But modular air-logic systems are often a good bet when a compact, economical unit is a must. They typically consist of a series of valves mounted onto standard manifold subplates. Such systems speed assembly and piping, and all interconnections between
valves and controls in the circuit are machined into the manifold subplate. This cuts design and installation time, reduces the number of fittings, and eliminates piping and the routing errors that often go with it. |

MR Technology, Tactile Feedback and Application of By-Wire Systems
|
| Company: | Lord Corp |
| Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are re-engineering traditional vehicle hydraulic systems with intelligent electrical systems that reduce complexity and improve performance. Hydraulic systems are often inefficient, noisy, complex and poise certain environmental concerns in the event of leakage. That said, these systems have been around for many years, so OEMs are comfortable with their implementation. By contrast, non-hydraulic or electro-hydraulic systems are inherently clean (no fluids), quiet to operate, efficient and allow for more ergonomic design and less complex installation during the manufacturing process. |
