Does Removing the EGR Increase Power?

by

Is removing the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) worth doing or a potential mistake? And what are the pros and cons of removing the EGR? Does it conform to the emission regulation and requirements? All your the questions and doubts will be addressed in this article.

If you have such queries about the removal of EGR and all its drawbacks and benefits will be discussed in this thought-provoking article.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) removal is a systematic design of an emission controlled technology to reduce the emission of nitrogen (NOx) in engines by circulating the exhaust via engine. This balks soot from the rolling up in the engine when it is recirculated with other impurities. [Read more…] about Does Removing the EGR Increase Power?

Toyota Research Institute and Stanford Engineering achieve ‘world’s first’ fully autonomous tandem drift sequence

by

Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Stanford Engineering have demonstrated what they say is “a world first” in driving research: autonomously drifting two cars in tandem.

For nearly seven years, the teams have collaborated on research to make driving safer. The experiments automate a motorsports maneuver called “drifting”, where a driver precisely controls a vehicle’s direction after breaking traction by spinning the rear tires – a skill transferable to recovering from a slide on snow or ice.

By adding a second car drifting in tandem, the teams have now more closely simulated dynamic conditions where cars must respond quickly to other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Understanding machine vision in automation

by

Article contributed by Wauseon Machine

Machine vision has become an integral component of automated manufacturing processes. In older automated manufacturing lines, less efficient methods were used to corral a product part down a conveyor and into a precise position for fixation.

This more manual process often required additional hardware to corral pieces down the assembly line in the proper direction or would require pre-fixturing a part with manual labor.

This not only was more time intensive but also made manufacturing processes more susceptible to alignment errors.

Causes of Tire Noise: A Comprehensive Guide

by

For many drivers, tire noise is a major problem that detracts from the overall driving experience. What causes tire noise?

The sound made by tires, whether it’s a soft hum or a deafening boom, can be upsetting and distracting. The contact between the tires and the road, the tire’s construction and composition, and environmental factors like the weather and road surface can all contribute to this noise.

In the end, a quieter and more comfortable ride can result from drivers making educated judgments when choosing and maintaining their tires. [Read more…] about Causes of Tire Noise: A Comprehensive Guide

Lincoln Electric acquires Inrotech

by

Lincoln Electric has acquired Inrotech. Headquartered in Odense, Denmark, Inrotech is a privately held automation system integration and technology firm specializing in automated welding systems.

Inrotech says its automated welding systems are differentiated by proprietary adaptive intelligence software and computer vision which guides and optimizes the welding process without the need for programming or the use of CAD files.

The vision-based technology has proven to be valuable in the shipbuilding, energy, and heavy industry sectors, where welding accessibility can be challenging for traditional automated systems, but precision and quality are mission critical. [Read more…] about Lincoln Electric acquires Inrotech
