Universal Structural Bonders from Henkel at Southern Manufacturing

Universal Structural Bonders from Henkel at Southern Manufacturing

Henkel adhesives continue to influence how products are designed and manufactured and none more so than the company’s newly introduced range of Loctite Universal Structural Bonders. What makes these products stand out from the crowd is their unique formulation. Their many attributes are achieved through Henkel’s patented hybrid technology to achieve bond strength, speedy cure and durability – performance qualities that historically have not been available from a single product.

Material developments for large engine springs

Material developments for large engine springs

Developments in production techniques have recently resulted in high quality Silicon Chrome Vanadium becoming available in larger wire diameters. The tensile strength is approximately 10% higher than conventional silicon chrome wires, allowing for a more highly stressed springs with 10% lower mass or improved fatigue life.

Wireless monitoring: Kanban without cards

Wireless monitoring: Kanban without cards

Few Kanban systems are completely free from errors and weak spots: the processing of Kanban cards can be delayed; cards can sometimes be mislaid leading to very little transparency in the operation. The introduction of scanners provides only partial relief to some of these issues, not least of all because often staff will forget to scan leading to incorrect bookings being made and shelves being incorrectly replenished.

High performance spring meets aerospace challenge

High performance spring meets aerospace challenge

A spring for a safety critical aerospace non-return valve presented new challenges to the design and production team at William Hughes. The application required a large spring which had to be manufactured in a specialist aerospace certified material – which has a high spring index making it difficult to form. In addition, the unusual specification called for one end of the spring to be fusion welded using stainless steel filler rod.
