Cabinet Health for Your Indramat Drives

We often get calls from engineers who have just opened a sealed cabinet for the very first time and found a mysterious object marked “Indramat.” Often the cabinet has been ignored for years, even decades, and it was only found by following the cable to it from a piece of equipment that has stopped doing… Read more »

Industrial Automation North America

The upcoming Industrial Automation North America conference is expected to focus on robotics. 2013 was a banner year for robots and robot sales are expected to increase by another 6% this year. Why? An aging workforce and the skills gap are top contenders for the impetus behind increasing use of robots, but there are other… Read more »

Rexroth STEM Grants

The Bosch Rexroth Corporation’s Bosch Community Fund has given $100,000 in grants supporting STEM education to Pennsylvania schools. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. These are, frankly, areas in which the American educational system doesn’t always shine. Innovators in education, along with forward-thinking corporations and the government, are trying to fix that with… Read more »

Outsourcing to Solve the Skills Gap?

The skills gap continues to be an issue for manufacturing — Congress has even gotten in on the conversation. Increasingly, there’s concern that it isn’t only that the current workforce doesn’t have the needed technical skills, but that they’re not willing to learn them, either. As Manufacturing.net put it, “manufacturers are being held hostage by… Read more »

Robocup

Robots to you and me are probably mostly arms and other disembodied bits, but the humanoid robot is alive and well in fiction, in Asia — and at the international soccer competition called RoboCup. It’s coming up in Brazil this month. The players are robots. These are not robots programmed to play soccer, though. These… Read more »

Building for the Future

They don’t build ’em the way they used to. That’s true, but it’s usually not because we don’t know how, or because we don’t have the skills or the technology. In fact, the opposite is true. People who built things centuries ago had no idea how strong those things would have to be. They built… Read more »

Emphasis on Mobility

You use them to keep in touch with friends and family, to shop, to take pictures and listen to music, to take notes and store documents, to read books and to make phone calls. Your smartphone or tablet has become such a central part of your life that it’s probably hard to imagine what your… Read more »

Happy Independence Day!

We hope you’re visiting your family, enjoying the fireworks, or maybe on the lake with a fishing pole and a great sandwich. However, if you have a Rexroth Indramat emergency, it’s good to know that you can call on us.

A Wasted Generation?

Even as American manufacturing jobs increase for the 12th consecutive month, economists are worrying about youth unemployment. 5.8 million Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 are neither at work nor in school. That’s about 16% — more than twice the national unemployment rate. A recent study calculated that this unemployment costs the United… Read more »

Is Remote Monitoring Enough?

Increasingly, factories rely on remote monitoring of machinery performance to make sure that everything is working well. Increasing automation makes sense; the more processes can be automated, the more cost-effective they’ll be. In many plants, the increase in automation has led to reduced manpower, and there just aren’t enough man hours to cover direct monitoring… Read more »
