Wafer-level packaging is a technique in which packaging is applied around each circuit board before the wafer is separated into individual circuits. This method streamlines the manufacturing process, reduces production time and cost, and allows for smaller component sizes. Components manufactured with wafer-level packaging are widely used in consumer electronics and other applications. Wafer-level packaging […]
A jackhammer is a pneumatic device that uses highly pressurized air to shape, engrave or polish metal. It has variable bits and requires caution when in use. Different metals require different PSI levels. Considerations when purchasing include blows per minute, air consumption, and weight. It provides a safer and easier alternative to traditional forging. A […]
There are different production methods for making goods, including labor, batch, boutique, and mass production. Labor production involves making each item separately by a skilled worker, while batch production involves making a set number of items in batches. Boutique production combines jobbers and batches for small runs of products. Mass production is the most efficient […]
The process of making medicinal tablets involves mixing, granulating, pressing, and coating. Different medicines require different processes, with wet and dry granulation being the main forms. Tablets are compressed and often coated for protection and better taste. The manufacturing process of medicinal tablets involves several major steps, including mixing or granulating materials, lubricating, pressing, and […]
An eyebolt is a fastener with a circular end and a threaded end used to attach cables, ropes, wires, or chains to objects. They can be forged or welded and have different thread types for wood or metal. The size and material should be chosen based on the load and environment. An eyebolt is a […]
When choosing a heating and air conditioning system, consider energy efficiency, power, and affordability. There are different types of systems, including hybrids and ductless options. It’s important to purchase a system that adequately heats and cools the space without excessive stress on the equipment. Consider the cost of purchase and installation, and choose a system […]
Sector gears have teeth along only a short section of their circumference and are used in mechanisms with short, repetitive movements. They may have round, spur geared or linear driven elements and can have two outputs with different pitch values. They can be made from various materials. A sector gear is a flat spur-type device […]
Flange joints are a removable way of joining steel and plastic pipes, consisting of two discs with fixing holes. They are quick to fit and remove, suitable for various pipe designs and sizes, and can connect pipes to equipment. Flanges have different designs, including slip-on, raised face, and lap joint flanges, and can have gaskets […]
Gas compressors increase gas pressure and temperature for various applications, including natural gas transportation, refrigeration, and air brakes. There are seven common designs, including centrifugal, axial flow, and diaphragm compressors, each suited for different environments. Reciprocating compressors are being replaced by smaller, quieter, and cheaper compressors. Rotary screw compressors are popular for continuous operation, while […]
