International Metalworking News for Asia - August 2023

In this issue

In today’s industrial manufacturing organisations, technology plays a vital role in the processing of end products. Companies are investing heavily in streamlining their business system capabilities in order to survive and remain competitive. Nevertheless, not all companies are fully embracing newer technologies as they become available. Problems remain with the development of technological solutions into usable and effecive information systems that solve the business needs of manufacturing companies. All organisations want the best use of their investments. However, many variables can affect the success of the technology adoption and therefore ofset the end results of organisational streamlining.
Here are some of the topics we have in this month’s issue of International Metalworking News for Asia.
In metal forming, anyone who’s had problems with lubrication, surface finish,or other friction-related issues understands that friction testers are a key piece of equipment. Unless they accurately test, they won’t know if they have a sporadic or recurring problem, which can lead to costly, out-of-spec products, until corrected. As a solution, portable, handheld friction testers have been developed that enable fast, lab quality, non-destructive testing by essentially anyone without specialised training. Find out more in this month’s Forming section.
