BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): Two Covid-19 antibody drugs developed in China have yielded promising results in studies and clinical trials, researchers said during an academic conference over the weekend.
#15 - Straighter deep-hole drilling
Top articles from 2020: Counter-rotation gundrilling delivers required concentricity for deep hole applications in precision medical devices.
Manufacturers achieve concentricity tolerances when the hole follows the desired axis of the part, eliminating drift from the point of entry to the exit. In a round part with on-center drilling, this is easily illustrated; some applications may include off-center deep holes or holes in non-round parts that still have tight concentricity requirements.
Low concentricity in some applications can weaken sidewalls, lead to mismatched holes, or force producers to scrap parts. Adding a counter-rotating process on deep-hole drilling equipment allows manufacturers to economically achieve critical tolerances.
October 2020 US cutting tool orders up 7.6%
Recovery is in line with rising demand from manufacturers of electrical and medical equipment.
September s $156.1 million and down 22.4% when compared with the $216.4 million reported for
October 2019. With a year-to-date total of $1.6 billion, 2020 is down 23% when compared with October 2019.
These numbers and all data in this report are based on the totals reported by the companies participating in the CTMR program. The totals here represent the majority of the U.S. market for cutting tools.
According to Bret Tayne, president of USCTI, “Cutting tool sales for October appear to confirm that at least the bleeding has stopped. We may have taken a step backward in November as COVID cases surged and due to typical seasonality, but the overall direction is encouraging. The beginning of vaccine distribution, along with the potential for significant pent-up demand in some customer segments, bodes well for our industry as we head into 2021
