  • iPad Vibration Analyzer with IMI Sensor

    GTI Spindle Technology has succeeded in using today’s accelerometers to measure vibration on Apples new iPad tablet. Converting the Analog signal to digital without the use of an additional battery was our biggest challenge. We knew that to succeed from the portability of the iPad we needed to keep things streamlined.

    Our original prototype ran on MEMS sensor chips vs a standard accelerometer. The low power consumption of the MEMs chips worked well with the power constraints of the iPad. MEMS sensors did reveal other challenges of their own in regard to background noise and some inaccuracy’s. We intend to continue to improve these sensors going forward as part of our design improvement as well as develop a complete wireless solution for our customers.

    In the meantime IMI Sensor, one of the leading brands of vibration accelerometers has developed a low power 100mv/G sensor to work with our iPad analyzer. It allows us to run two channels of vibration acquisition at one time without power issues. (IMI sensor specs can be found at gtispindle.com) These sensors provide a clean calibrated signal for the iPad with no unwanted frequency spikes or disturbance from a trusted name in sensors.

  • GTI Spindle Technology Introduces the iRotorBalancer App for iPad

    Manchester, NH – GTI Spindle Technology, Inc., (gtispindle.com), an expert in foreign and domestic machine tool spindle repair services, maintenance, and machine tool optimization has announced the launch of the iRotorBalancer Application for the iPad.
    GTI Spindle Technology Inc. has released the iRotorBalancer App for the iPad. The iRotorBalancer App is a tool for balancing rotating machinery in single-plane & two-planes using the vibration amplitude and phase. The iPad Application connects to the iRotorBalancer hardware to collect the vibration amplitude and phase with the accelerometer and the phase-sensor, and calculates the correction balancing weight(s) and its angular position(s).

    FEATURES:

    • Single-Plane balancing using the Vector-Method (Amplitude & Phase Measurements)
    • Single-Plane balancing using the Four-Runs-Method (Amplitude Measurement)
    • Two-Planes Balancing using the Influence Coefficients Method (Amplitude & Phase Measurements)
    • Displays Real-Time Waveform and Spectrum of the Vibration Signal (FFT)
    • Automatic Select the 1X Peak amplitude and Phase
    • Polar Plot and Graphic location of the trial and correction weights
    • Handy calculator to estimate the Trial Weights

  • IMTS – US Manufacturing News

    President Obama, is talking about it:
    On NPR- “The Hottest Product In Manufacturing: Jobs” (click to listen to full report)

    “We’re going to have a lot of jobs in the service sector because we’re a mature economy. But America’s economy is always going to rely on outstanding manufacturing – where we make stuff, where we’re not just buying stuff overseas, but we’re making stuff here and we’re selling it to somebody else.” said, President Obama

    On CNBC- “Not Your Father’s Car Company” (click to watch full report)

    Local Motors is hoping to disrupt the old ways of doing business by “crowdsourcing” new designs for automobiles. They know they won’t be overtaking the big 3 any time soon, but they will be building some of the most innovative and fun rides around. You can even submit your own design ideas.

    And on the hill – “Manufacturing our way to a stronger economy” (click to see full information)

    Mike Rowe, of “Dirty Jobs” fame, wants the US Senate Commerce Committee to focus on jobs in America. On May 11, 2011 Mike along with other manufacturing dignataries and visionaries will plead the case to the Science, Commerce and Transporation Committee that strenghening our manufacturing base will create a stronger and more robust economy.

  • Mori Seiki to Add Domestic Machine Tool Manufacturing

    American Machinist is reporting:
    Machine tool giant Mori Seiki Co. Ltd. reportedly will proceed with plans to build a new machine manufacturing plant in the U.S., specifically in California. The estimated $60-million project was revealed in Japan by the Nikkei news service.

    The news service reported that the new, 89,000 sq. meter plant would be built near Mori Seiki’s recently established research center in Davis, Calif. The plant would specialize in producing horizontal machining centers, with a design capacity of 80 machine centers per month. Employment is projected to be about 200.

    No announcement has been made by Mori Seiki or its U.S. organization.

    However, earlier this year Mori Seiki confirmed it was evaluating plans to start machine tool manufacturing in the U.S. because of the difficulty of serving the North American market as currency exchange rates fluctuate between Japan (where most of Mori Seiki’s manufacturing is done) and the U.S. Adding production capability in North America might offset any disparity in the exchange rate between the two currencies.

    “If the value of the U.S. dollar declines, it will become fiscally advantageous to manufacture machine tools in North America, eliminating the cost of importing from Japan,” explained the company’s president Dr. Masahiko Mori, in January.

    At that time Mori Seiki estimated that adding a new factory in North America would raise its total monthly output capacity by approximately 100 units to slightly more than 900. It said this level of increase would prepare it for the global expansion of machine tool sales it anticipates.

    Mori Seiki operates four factories in Japan, and another in Switzerland.

    Also, since the time of the January announcement Mori Seiki has consolidated its U.S. business with that of DMG. The two groups have a cross-ownership arrangement and co-market their machine designs and technologies worldwide. DMG / Mori Seiki USA is headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Ill
