These elements consist of three basic types: 1.) Structural components including frame members, bearings, axles, splines, fasteners, seals, and lubricants. 2.) Mechanisms controlling movement in various ways such as gear trains, belt or chain drives, linkages, cam and follower systems, brakes & clutches. 3.) Control components like buttons, switches, indicators, sensors, actuators and computer controllers. Most of the machine elements we offer you are standardized to common sizes, but custom made machine elements are also available for your specialized applications. Customization of machine elements can take place on existing designs that are in our downloadable catalogs or on brand new designs. Prototyping and manufacturing of machine elements can be carried forward once a design is approved by both parties. If new machine elements need to be designed & manufactured, our customers either email us their own blueprints and we review them for approval, or they ask us to design machine elements for their application. In the latter case we use all input from our customers and design the machine elements and send the finalized blueprints to our clients for approval. Once approved, we produce first articles and subsequently manufacture the machine elements according to the final design. At any stage of this work, in case a particular machine element design performs unsatisfactorily in the field (which is rare), we review the entire project and make alterations jointly with our clients as needed. It is our standard practice to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDA) with our customers for the design of machine elements or any other product whenever needed or required. Once machine elements for a particular customer are custom designed and manufactured, we assign a product code to it and only produce and sell them to our customer who owns the product. We reproduce the machine elements using the developed tools, molds and procedures as many times as needed and whenever our customer reorders them. In other words, once a custom machine element is designed and produced for you, the intellectual property as well as all tooling and molds are reserved and stocked indefinitely by us for you and the products reproduced as you wish. We also offer our clients engineering services by creatively combining machine elements into a component or assembly that serves an application and meets or exceeds our customers expectations. Plants fabricating our machine elements are qualified by either ISO9001, QS9000 or TS16949. In addition, most of our products do have CE or UL mark and meet internationally relevant standards such as ISO, SAE, ASME, DIN.

Rapid Prototyping, Desktop Manufacturing, Additive Manufacturing, Stereolithography, Polyjet, Fused Deposition Modeling, Selective Laser Sintering, FDM, SLS Additive and Rapid Manufacturing In recent years, we have seen an increase in demand for RAPID MANUFACTURING or RAPID PROTOTYPING. This process may be also called DESKTOP MANUFACTURING or FREE-FORM FABRICATION. Basically a solid physical model of a part is made directly from a three dimensional CAD drawing. We use the term ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING for these various techniques where we build parts in layers. Using integrated computer-driven hardware and software we perform additive manufacturing. Our rapid prototyping and manufacturing techniques are STEREOLITHOGRAPHY, POLYJET, FUSED-DEPOSITION MODELING, SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING, ELECTRON BEAM MELTING, THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING, DIRECT MANUFACTURING, RAPID TOOLING. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Additive Manufacturing and Rapid Manufacturing Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. Rapid prototyping provides us: 1.) The conceptual product design is viewed from different angles on a monitor using a 3D / CAD system. 2.) Prototypes from nonmetallic and metallic materials are manufactured and studied from functional, technical and aesthetic aspects. 3.) Low cost prototyping in a very short time is accomplished. Additive manufacturing can be resembled to the construction of a loaf of bread by stacking and bonding individual slices on top of each other. In other words, the product is manufactured slice by slice, or layer by layer deposited onto each other. Most parts can be produced within hours. The technique is good if parts are needed very quickly or if quantities needed are low and making a mold and tooling is too expensive and time taking. However the cost of a part is expensive due to the expensive raw materials. Rapid Parts & Prototypes Brochure Download • STEREOLITHOGRAPHY : This technique also abbreviated as STL, is based on curing and hardening of a liquid photopolymer into a specific shape by focusing a laser beam on it. The laser polymerizes the photopolymer and cures it. By scanning the UV laser beam according to the programmed shape along the surface of the photopolymer mixture the part is produced from the bottom up in individual slices cascaded on top of each other. The scanning of the laser spot is repeated many times to achieve the geometries programmed into the system. After the part is completely manufactured, it is removed from the platform, blotted and cleaned ultrasonically and with alcohol bath. Next, it is exposed to UV irradiation for a few hours to make sure the polymer is fully cured and hardened. To summarize the process, a platform that is dipped into a photopolymer mixture and a UV laser beam are controled and moved through a servo-control system according tp the shape of the desired part and the part is obtained by photocuring the polymer layer by layer. Of course the maximum dimensions of the produced part are determined by the stereolithography equipment. • POLYJET : Similar to inkjet printing, in polyjet we have eight print heads that deposit photopolymer on the build tray. Ultraviolet light placed alongside the jets immediately cures and hardens each layer. Two materials are used in polyjet. The first material is for manufacturing the actual model. The second material, a gel-like resin is used for support. Both of these materials are deposited layer by layer and simultaneously cured. After the completion of the model, the support material is removed with an aqueous solution. Resins used are similar to stereolithography (STL). The polyjet has the following advantages over stereolithography: 1.) No need for cleaning parts. 2.) No need for postprocess curing 3.) Smaller layer thicknesses are possible and thus we get better resolution and can manufacture finer parts. • FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING : Also abbreviated as FDM, in this method a robot-controlled extruder head moves in two principle directions over a table. The cable is lowered and raised as needed. From the orifice of a heated die on the head, a thermoplastic filament is extruded and an initial layer is deposited on a foam foundation. This is accomplished by the extruder head that follows a predetermined path. After the initial layer, the table is lowered and subsequent layers are deposited on top of each other. Sometimes when manufacturing a complicated part, support structures are needed so that deposition can continue in certain directions. In these cases, a support material is extruded with a less dense spacing of filament on a layer so that it is weaker than the model material. These support structures can later be dissolved or broken off after the completion of the part. The extruder die dimensions determine the thickness of the extruded layers. The FDM process produces parts with stepped surfaces on oblique exterior planes. If this roughness is unacceptable, chemical vapor polishing or a heated tool can be used for smoothing these. Even a polishing wax is available as a coating material to eliminate these steps and achieve reasonable geometric tolerances. • SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING : Also denoted as SLS, the process is based on sintering of a polymer, ceramic or metallic powders selectively into an object. The bottom of the processing chamber has two cylinders: A part-build cylinder and a powder-feed cylinder. The former is lowered incrementally to where the sintered part is being formed and the latter is raised incrementally to supply powder to the part-build cylinder through a roller mechanism. First a thin layer of powder is deposited in the part-build cylinder, then a laser beam is focused on that layer, tracing and melting /sintering a particular cross section, which then resolidifies into a solid. The powder is areas that are not hit by the laser beam remain loose but still supports the solid portion. Then another layer of powder is deposited and the process repeated many times to obtain the part. At the end, the loose powder particles are shaken off. All these are carried out by a process-control computer using instructions generated by the 3D CAD program of the part being manufactured. Various materials such as polymers (such as ABS, PVC, polyester), wax, metals and ceramics with appropriate polymer binders can be deposited. • ELECTRON-BEAM MELTING : Similar to selective laser sintering, but using electron beam to melt titanium or cobalt chrome powders to make prototypes in vacuum. Some developments have been made to perform this process on stainless steels, aluminum and copper alloys. If the fatigue strength of the produced parts need to be increased, we use hot isostatic pressing subsequent to part manufacture as a secondary process. • THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING : Also denoted by 3DP, in this technique a print head deposits an inorganic binder onto a layer of either nonmetallic or metallic powder. A piston carrying the powder bed is incrementally lowered and at each step the binder is deposited layer by layer and fused by the binder. Powder materials used are polymers blends and fibers, foundry sand, metals. Using different binder heads simultaneously and different color binders we can obtain various colors. The process is similar to inkjet printing but instead of obtaining a colored sheet we obtain a colored three dimensional object. The parts produced may be porous and therefore may require sintering and metal infiltration to increase its density and strength. Sintering will burn off the binder and fuse the metal powders together. Metals such a stainless steel, aluminum, titanium can be used to make the parts and as infiltration materials we commonly use copper and bronze. The beauty of this technique is that even complicated and moving assemblies can be manufactured very quickly. For example a gear assembly, a wrench as a tool can be made and will have moving and turning parts ready to be used. Different components of the assembly can be manufactured with different colors and all in one shot. Download our brochure on: Metal 3D Printing Basics • DIRECT MANUFACTURING and RAPID TOOLING : Besides design evaluation, troubleshooting we use rapid prototyping for direct manufacture of products or direct application into products. In other words, rapid prototyping can be incorporated into conventional processes to make them better and more competitive. For example, rapid prototyping can produce patterns and molds. Patterns of a melting and burning polymer created by rapid prototyping operations can be assembled for investment casting and invested. Another example to mention is using 3DP to produce ceramic casting shell and use that for shell casting operations. Even injection molds and mold inserts can be produced by rapid prototyping and one can save many weeks or months of mold making lead time. By only analyzing a CAD file of the desired part, we can produce the tool geometry using software. Here are some of our popular rapid tooling methods: RTV (Room-Temperature Vulcanizing) MOLDING / URETHANE CASTING : Using rapid prototyping can be used to make the pattern of the desired part. Then this pattern is coated with a parting agent and liquid RTV rubber is poured over the pattern to produce the mold halves. Next, these mold halves are used to injection mold liquid urethanes. The mold life is short, only like 0 or 30 cycles but enough for small batch production. ACES (Acetal Clear Epoxy Solid) INJECTION MOLDING : Using rapid prototyping techniques such as stereolithography, we produce injection molds. These molds are shells with an open end to allow filling with materials such as epoxy, aluminum-filled epoxy or metals. Again mold life is limited to tens or maximum hundreds of parts. SPRAYED METAL TOOLING PROCESS : We use rapid prototyping and make a pattern. We spray a zinc-aluminum alloy on the pattern surface and coat it. The pattern with the metal coating is then placed inside a flask and potted with an epoxy or aluminum-filled epoxy. Finally, it is removed and by producing two such mold halves we obtain a complete mold for injection molding. These molds have longer lives, in some cases depending on material and temperatures they can produce parts in the thousands. KEELTOOL PROCESS : This technique can produce molds with 100,000 to 10 Million cycle lives. Using rapid prototyping we produce an RTV mold. The mold is next filled with a mixture consisting of A6 tool steel powder, tungsten carbide, polymer binder and let to cure. This mold is then heated to get the polymer burned off and the metal powders to fuse. The next step is copper infiltration to produce the final mold. If needed, secondary operations such as machining and polishing can be performed on the mold for better dimensional accuracies. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE

Photochemical Machining - PCM - Photo Etching - Chemical Milling - Blanking - Wet Etching - CM - Sheet Metal Components Chemical Machining & Photochemical Blanking CHEMICAL MACHINING (CM) technique is based on the fact that some chemicals attack metals and etch them. This results in removal of small layers of material from surfaces. We use reagents and etchants such as acids and alkaline solutions to remove material from surfaces. The hardness of the material is not a factor for etching. AGS-TECH Inc. frequently uses chemical machining for engraving metals, manufacturing printed-circuit boards and deburring of produced parts. Chemical machining is well suited for shallow removal up to 12 mm on large flat or curved surfaces, and CHEMICAL BLANKING of thin sheets. The chemical machining (CM) method involves low tooling and equipment costs and is advantageous over other ADVANCED MACHINING PROCESSES for low production runs. Typical material removal rates or cutting speeds in chemical machining are around 0.025 – 0.1 mm/min. Using CHEMICAL MILLING, we produce shallow cavities on sheets, plates, forgings and extrusions, either to meet design requirements or for reduction of weight in parts. The chemical milling technique can be used on a variety of metals. In our manufacturing processes, we deploy removable layers of maskants to control the selective attack by the chemical reagent on different areas of the workpiece surfaces. In microelectronic industry the chemical milling is widely used to fabricate miniature devices on chips and the technique is referred to as WET ETCHING. Some surface damage may result from chemical milling due to preferential etching and intergranular attack by the chemicals involved. This may result in deterioration of surfaces and roughening. One has to be careful prior to deciding to use chemical milling on metal castings, welded and brazed structures because uneven material removal may occur because the filler metal or the structural material may machine preferentially. In metal castings uneven surfaces may be obtained due to porosity and non-uniformity of the structure. CHEMICAL BLANKING: We use this method to produce features that penetrate through the thickness of the material, having the material removed by chemical dissolution. This method is an alternative to stamping technique we use in sheet metal manufacturing. Also in burr-free etching of printed-circuit boards (PCB) we deploy chemical blanking. PHOTOCHEMICAL BLANKING & PHOTOCHEMICAL MACHINING (PCM): Photochemical blanking is also known as PHOTOETCHING or PHOTO ETCHING, and is a modified version of chemical milling. Material is removed from flat thin sheets using photographic techniques and complex burr-free, stress-free shapes are blanked. Using photochemical blanking we manufacture fine and thin metal screens, printed-circuit cards, electric-motor laminations, flat precision springs. The photochemical blanking technique offers us the advantage of producing small parts, fragile parts without the need to manufacture difficult and expensive blanking dies that are used in traditional sheet metal manufacturing. Photochemical blanking does require skilled personnel, but the tooling costs are low, the process is easily automated and feasibility is high for medium to high volume production. Some disadvantages exist as is the case in every manufacturing process: Environmental concerns due to chemicals and safety concerns due to volatile liquids being used. Photochemical machining also known as PHOTOCHEMICAL MILLING, is the process of fabricating sheet metal components using a photoresist and etchants to corrosively machine away selected areas. Using photo etching we produce highly complex parts with fine details economically. The photochemical milling process is for us an economical alternative to stamping, punching, laser and water jet cutting for thin gauge precision parts. The photochemical milling process is useful for prototyping and allows for easy and quick changes when there is a change in design. It is an ideal technique for research & development. Phototooling is fast and inexpensive to produce. Most phototools cost less than $ 500 and can be produced within two days. Dimensional tolerances are well met with no burrs, no stress and sharp edges. We can start manufacturing a part within hours after receiving your drawing. We can use PCM on most commercially available metals and alloys such as include aluminium, brass, beryllium-copper, copper, molybdenum, inconel, manganese, nickel, silver, steel, stainless steel, zinc and titanium with thicknesses of 0.0005 to 0.080 in (0.013 to 2.0 mm). Phototools are exposed only to light and therefore do not wear out. Due to the cost of hard tooling for stamping and fine blanking, significant volume is required to justify the expense, which is not the case in PCM. We start the PCM process by printing the shape of the part onto optically clear and dimensionally stable photographic film. The phototool consists of two sheets of this film showing negative images of the parts meaning that the area that will become the parts is clear and all of the areas to be etched are black. We register the two sheets optically and mechanically to form the top and bottom halves of the tool. We cut the metal sheets to size, clean and then laminate on both sides with a UV-sensitive photoresist. We place the coated metal between the two sheets of the phototool and a vacuum is drawn to ensure intimate contact between the phototools and the metal plate. We then expose the plate to UV light that allows the areas of resist that are in the clear sections of the film to be hardened. After exposure we wash away the unexposed resist of the plate, leaving the areas to be etched unprotected. Our etching lines have driven-wheel conveyors to move the plates and arrays of spray nozzles above and below the plates. The etchant is typically an aqueous solution of acid such as ferric chloride, that is heated and directed under pressure to both sides of the plate. The etchant reacts with the unprotected metal and corrodes it away. After neutralizing and rinsing, we remove the remaining resist and the sheet of parts is cleaned and dried. Applications of photochemical machining include fine screens and meshes, apertures, masks, battery grids, sensors, springs, pressure membranes, flexible heating elements, RF and microwave circuits and components, semiconductor leadframes, motor and transformer laminations, metal gaskets and seals, shields and retainers, electrical contacts, EMI/RFI shields, washers. Some parts, such as semiconductor leadframes, are very complex and fragile that, despite volumes in the millions of pieces, they can only be produced by photo etching. The accuracy achievable with the chemical etching process offers us tolerances starting at +/-0.010mm depending on the material type and thickness. Features can be positioned with accuracies around +-5 microns. In PCM, the most economical way is to plan the largest sheet size possible consistent with the size and dimensional tolerances of the part. The more parts per sheet are produced the lower the unit labor cost per part. Material thickness affects costs and is proportional to the length of time to etch through. Most alloys etch at rates between 0.0005–0.001 in (0.013–0.025 mm) of depth per minute per side. In general, for steel, copper or aluminum workpieces with thicknesses up to 0.020 in (0.51 mm), part costs will be roughly $0.15–0.20 per square inch. As the geometry of the part becomes more complex, photochemical machining gains greater economic advantage over sequential processes such as CNC punching, laser or water-jet cutting, and electrical discharge machining.

Here you will find some of these testing equipment such as concrete testers and surface roughness tester. Let us examine these test devices in some detail: SCHMIDT HAMMER / CONCRETE TESTER : This test instrument, also sometimes called a SWISS HAMMER or a REBOUND HAMMER, is a device to measure the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock, mainly surface hardness and penetration resistance. The hammer measures the rebound of a spring-loaded mass impacting against the surface of the sample. The test hammer will hit the concrete with a predetermined energy. The hammer’s rebound depends on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. Taking a conversion chart as a reference, the rebound value can be used to determine the compressive strength. The Schmidt hammer is an arbitrary scale ranging from 10 to 100. Schmidt hammers come with several different energy ranges. Their energy ranges are: (i) Type L-0.735 Nm impact energy, (ii) Type N-2.207 Nm impact energy; and (iii) Type M-29.43 Nm impact energy. Local variation in the sample. To minimize local variation in the samples it is recommended to take a selection of readings and take their average value. Prior to testing, the Schmidt hammer needs to be calibrated using a calibration test anvil supplied by the manufacturer. 12 readings should be taken, dropping the highest and lowest, and then taking the average of the ten remaining readings. This method is considered an indirect measurement of the strength of the material. It provides an indication based on surface properties for comparison between samples. This test method for testing concrete is governed by ASTM C805. On the other hand, the ASTM D5873 standard describes the procedure for testing of rock. Inside of our SADT brand catalog you will find the following products: DIGITAL CONCRETE TEST HAMMER SADT Models HT-225D/HT-75D/HT-20D - The SADT Model HT-225D is an integrated digital concrete test hammer combining data processor and test hammer into a single unit. It is widely used for non destructive quality testing of concrete and building materials. From its rebound value, the compressive strength of concrete can be calculated out automatically. All test data can be stored in memory and transferred to PC by USB cable or wirelessly by Bluetooth. The models HT-225D and HT-75D have measuring range of 10 – 70N/mm2, whereas the model HT-20D has only 1 – 25N/mm2. The impact energy of HT-225D is 0.225 Kgm and is suitable for testing ordinary building and bridge construction, the impact energy of HT-75D is 0.075 Kgm and is suitable for testing small and impact-sensitive parts of concrete and artificial brick, and finally the impact energy of HT-20D is 0.020Kgm and suitable for testing mortar or clay products. IMPACT TESTERS: In many manufacturing operations and during their service lives, many components need to be subjected to impact loading. In the impact test, the notched specimen is placed in an impact tester and broken with a swinging pendulum. There are two major types of this test: The CHARPY TEST and the IZOD TEST. For the Charpy test the specimen are supported at both ends, whereas for the Izod test they are supported only at one end like a cantilever beam. From the amount of swing of the pendulum, the energy dissipated in breaking the specimen is obtained, this energy is the impact toughness of the material. Using the impact tests, we can determine the ductile-brittle transition temperatures of materials. Materials with high impact resistance generally have high strength and ductility. These tests also reveal the sensitivity of a material’s impact toughness to surface defects, because the notch in the specimen can be considered a surface defect. TENSION TESTER : The strength-deformation characteristics of materials are determined using this test. Test specimen are prepared according to ASTM standards. Typically, solid and round specimens are tested, but flat sheets and tubular samples may also be tested using tension test. The original length of a specimen is the distance between gage marks on it and is typically 50 mm long. It is denoted as lo. Longer or shorter lengths can be used depending on the specimens and products. The original cross-sectional area is denoted as Ao. The engineering stress or also called nominal stress is then given as: Sigma = P / Ao And the engineering strain is given as: e = (l – lo) / lo In the linear elastic region, the specimen elongates proportionately to the load up to the proportional limit. Beyond this limit, even though not linearly, the specimen will continue to deform elastically up to the yield point Y. In this elastic region, the material will return to its original length if we remove the load. Hooke’s Law applies in this region and gives us the Young’s Modulus: E = Sigma / e If we increase the load and move beyond the yield point Y, the material begins to yield. In other words, the specimen begins to undergo plastic deformation. Plastic deformation means permanent deformation. The cross-sectional area of the specimen decreases permanently and uniformly. If specimen is unloaded at this point, the curve follows a straight line downward and parallel to the original line in the elastic region. If the load is further increased, the curve reaches a maximum and begins to decrease. The maximum stress point is called the tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength and is denoted as UTS. The UTS can be interpreted as the overall strength of materials. When load is greater than the UTS, necking occurs on the specimen and the elongation between gage marks is no longer uniform. In other words, the specimen becomes really thin at the location where necking occurs. During necking, the elastic stress drops. If the test is continued, the engineering stress drops further and the specimen fractures at the necking region. The stress level at fracture is the fracture stress. The strain at point of fracture is an indicator of ductility. The strain up to the UTS is referred to as uniform strain, and the elongation at fracture is referred to as total elongation. Elongation = ((lf – lo) / lo) x 100 Reduction of Area = ((Ao – Af) / Ao) x 100 Elongation and reduction of area are good indicators of ductility. COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE ( COMPRESSION TESTER ) : In this test, the specimen is subjected to a compressive load contrary to the tensile test where the load is tensile. Generally, a solid cylindrical specimen is placed between two flat plates and compressed. Using lubricants at the contact surfaces, a phenomenon known as barreling is prevented. Engineering strain rate in compression is given by: de / dt = - v / ho, where v is die speed, ho original specimen height. True strain rate on the other hand is: de = dt = - v/ h, with h being the instantaneous specimen height. To keep the true strain rate constant during the test, a cam plastometer thru a cam action reduces the magnitude of v proportionally as the specimen height h decreases during the test. Using the compression test ductilities of materials are determined by observing cracks formed on barreled cylindrical surfaces. Another test with some differences in the die and workpiece geometries is the PLANE-STRAIN COMPRESSION TEST, which gives us the yield stress of the material in plane strain denoted widely as Y’. Yield stress of materials in plane strain can be estimated as: Y’ = 1.15 Y TORSION TEST MACHINES (TORSIONAL TESTERS) : The TORSION TEST is another widely used method for determining material properties. A tubular specimen with a reduced mid-section is used in this test. Shear stress, T is given by: T = T / 2 (Pi) (square of r) t Here, T is the applied torque, r is the mean radius and t is the thickness of the reduced section in the middle of the tube. Shear strain on the other hand is given by: ß = r Ø / l Here l is the length of the reduced section and Ø is the twist angle in radians. Within the elastic range, the shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) is expressed as: G = T / ß The relation between shear modulus and the modulus of elasticity is: G = E / 2( 1 + V ) The torsion test is applied to solid round bars at elevated temperatures to estimate the forgeability of metals. The more twists the material can withstand prior to failure, the more forgeable it is. THREE & FOUR POINT BENDING TESTERS : For brittle materials, the BEND TEST (also called FLEXURE TEST) is suitable. A rectangularly shaped specimen is supported at both ends and a load is applied vertically. The vertical force is applied at either one point as in the case of three point bending tester, or at two points as in the case of a four point test machine. The stress at fracture in bending is referred to as the modulus of rupture or transverse rupture strength. It is given as: Sigma = M c / I Here, M is the bending moment, c is one-half of the specimen depth and I is the moment of inertia of the cross-section. The magnitude of stress is the same in both three and four-point bending when all other parameters are kept constant. The four-point test is likely to result in a lower modulus of rupture as compared to the three-point test. Another superiority of the four-point bending test over the three point bending test is that its results are more consistent with less statistical scattering of values. FATIGUE TEST MACHINE: In FATIGUE TESTING, a specimen is subjected repeatedly to various states of stress. The stresses are generally a combination of tension, compression and torsion. The test process can be resembled to bending a piece of wire alternately in one direction, then the other until it fractures. The stress amplitude can be varied and is denoted as “S”. The number of cycles to cause total failure of the specimen is recorded and is denoted as “N”. Stress amplitude is the maximum stress value in tension and compression to which the specimen is subjected. One variation of the fatigue test is performed on a rotating shaft with a constant downward load. The endurance limit (fatigue limit) is defined as the max. stress value the material can withstand without fatigue failure regardless of the number of cycles. Fatigue strength of metals is related to their ultimate tensile strength UTS. COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION TESTER : This test equipment measures the ease with which two surfaces in contact are able to slide past one another. There are two different values associated with the coefficient of friction, namely the static and kinetic coefficient of friction. Static friction applies to the force necessary to initialize motion between the two surfaces and kinetic friction is the resistance to sliding once the surfaces are in relative motion. Appropriate measures need to be taken prior to testing and during testing to ensure freedom from dirt, grease and other contaminants that could adversely affect test results. ASTM D1894 is the main coefficient of friction test standard and is used by many industries with different applications and products. We are here to offer you the most suitable test equipment. If you need a custom set-up specifically designed for your application, we can modify existing equipment accordingly in order to meet your requirements and needs.

Soft Lithography - Microcontact Printing - Microtransfer Molding - Micromolding in Capillaries - AGS-TECH Inc. - NM - USA Soft Lithography SOFT LITHOGRAPHY is a term used for a number of processes for pattern transfer. A master mold is needed in all cases and is microfabricated using standard lithography methods. Using the master mold, we produce an elastomeric pattern / stamp to be used in soft lithography. Elastomers used for this purpose need to be chemically inert, have good thermal stability, strength, durability, surface properties and be hygroscopic. Silicone rubber and PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) are two good candidate materials. These stamps can be used many times in soft lithography. One variation of soft lithography is MICROCONTACT PRINTING. The elastomer stamp is coated with an ink and pressed against a surface. The pattern peaks contact the surface and a thin layer of about 1 monolayer of the ink is transferred. This thin film monolayer acts as the mask for selective wet etching. A second variation is MICROTRANSFER MOLDING, in which the recesses of the elastomer mold are filled with liquid polymer precursor and pushed against a surface. Once the polymer cures after microtransfer molding, we peel off the mold, leaving behind the desired pattern. Lastly a third variation is MICROMOLDING IN CAPILLARIES, where the elastomer stamp pattern consists of channels that use capillary forces to wick a liquid polymer into the stamp from its side. Basically, a small amount of the liquid polymer is placed adjacent to the capillary channels and the capillary forces pull the liquid into the channels. Excess liquid polymer is removed and polymer inside the channels is allowed to cure. The stamp mold is peeled off and the product is ready. If the channel aspect ratio is moderate and the channel dimensions allowed depend on the liquid used, good pattern replication can be assured. The liquid used in micromolding in capillaries can be thermosetting polymers, ceramic sol-gel or suspensions of solids within liquid solvents. The micromolding in capillaries technique has been used in sensor manufacturing. Soft lithography is used to construct features measured on the micrometer to nanometer scale. Soft lithography has advantages over other forms of lithography like photolithography and electron beam lithography. The advantages include the following: • Lower cost in mass production than traditional photolithography • Suitability for applications in biotechnology and plastic electronics • Suitability for applications involving large or nonplanar (nonflat) surfaces • Soft lithography offers more pattern-transferring methods than traditional lithography techniques (more ''ink'' options) • Soft lithography does not need a photo-reactive surface to create nanostructures • With soft lithography we can achieve smaller details than photolithography in laboratory settings (~30 nm vs ~100 nm). The resolution depends on the mask used and can reach values down to 6 nm. MULTILAYER SOFT LITHOGRAPHY is a fabrication process in which microscopic chambers, channels, valves and vias are molded within bonded layers of elastomers. Using multilayer soft lithography devices consisting of multiple layers may be fabricated from soft materials. The softness of these materials allows the device areas to be reduced by more than two orders of magnitude compared with silicon-based devices. The other advantages of soft lithography, such as rapid prototyping, ease of fabrication, and biocompatibility, are also valid in multilayer soft lithography. We use this technique to build active microfluidic systems with on-off valves, switching valves, and pumps entirely out of elastomers. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE

Drive and Driving Shafts Manufacturing - Propeller Prop Cardan Shaft, Drive Train, Splined Shaft, Tapered Shaft, Assembly - AGS-TECH Inc., New Mexico - USA Shafts Manufacturing A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft is defined as a mechanical component for transmitting rotation and torque, generally deployed to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them. Generally speaking, there are mainly two types of shafts: Transmission shafts are used to transmit power between the source and the machine absorbing power; e.g. counter shafts and line shafts. On the other hand, machine shafts are the integral part of the machine itself; e.g. crankshaft. To allow for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven components, drive shafts frequently incorporate one or more universal joints, jaw couplings, rag joints, a splined joint or a prismatic joint. We sell shafts for transportation industry, industrial machinery, work equipment. According to your application, the proper material is chosen with appropriate weight and strength. While some applications require lightweight shafts for lower inertia, others necessitate very strong materials to stand the extremely high torques and weight. Call us today to discuss your application. We use a variety of techniques to assemble shafts with their mating parts. According to the environment and application, here are a few of our techniques for engaging shafts and their mating parts: SPLINED SHAFT: These shafts have multiple grooves, or key-seats cut around its circumference for a portion of its length in order that a sliding engagement may be made with corresponding internal grooves of a mating part. TAPERED SHAFT: These shafts have a tapered end for easy and strong engagement with the mating part. Shafts may also be connected to their mating parts by other means such as setscrews, press fit, sliding fit, slip fit with key, pins, knurled joint, driven key, brazed joint…etc. SHAFT & BEARING & PULLEY ASSEMBLY: This is another area where we have the expertise to manufacture reliable assemblies of bearings and pulleys with shafts. SEALED SHAFTS: We seal shafts and shaft assemblies for grease and oil lubrication and protection from dirty environments. MATERIALS USED FOR MANUFACTURING SHAFTS: The materials we use for ordinary shafts is mild steel. When high strength is required, an alloy steel such as nickel, nickel-chromium or chromium-vanadium steel is used. We form shafts generally by hot rolling and finish them to size by cold drawing or turning and grinding. OUR STANDARD SHAFT SIZES: Machine shafts Up to 25 mm steps of 0.5 mm Between 25 to 50 mm steps of 1 mm Between 50 to 100 mm steps of 2 mm Between 100 to 200 mm steps of 5 mm Transmission shafts Between 25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps Between 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps Between 110 mm to 140 mm with 15 mm steps Between 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps The standard lengths of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m.
