A key system in the range of mixing and dispersing equipment offered by Netzsch Mastermix is the plant dispersion system PMD and PMD‐VC. Coupled with various process sytems, it enables the requirements of modern coatings and printing inks manufacturers to be carried out efficiently.

THE invitations which some 4,000 scientists and technologists accept every year to visit the National Physical Laboratory during the two Open Days in May are equally available to such accredited representatives of industrial concerns as care to apply for them.

More than half of the industrial robots throughout the world are used in the automobile industry. The following deals with the most important application so far, spot welding in car‐body construction, and one with a promising future, namely, assembly.

Describes the benefits of using robots for advanced composite lay‐up procedures. Particular emphasis is on aerospace structures. Argues that the use of robots now makes viable many fabrication operations that were previously too expensive, and highlights the improved quality afforded by consistent and rapid, automated lay‐up procedures.

By implementing a high‐speed welding system with a new arc welding robot, researchers have far exceeded current welding speeds. The heat warp of the work piece and adhesion of spatter onto the workpiece has been decreased, reducing the cycle time, and total heat input.

H. Haeffner have recently acquired a new warehouse and land in Chepstow. This additional storage facility allows considerably larger stocks to be held, and offers improved delivery via the new motorway system to the West Country and to the Midlands.

The whole garment technology offers a solution for the production efficiency by directly knitting a seamless tubular garment. Due to its complexity, high requirements and few references, the technology has not been widely applied in mass production. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to show garment technology’s detailed design method, the technique calculation process and its merits compared than common technology.

This paper first analyzes the knitting principle of the four-bed computerized flat knitting machine from its configuration. After that, the design method is putted forward as well as the technique calculation process. To reveal the advantages of the whole garment technology, this paper builds a comprehensive evaluation system by comparing the knitting time, labor cost and the yarn consumption.

With the evaluation system, the whole garment technology is proved to be more productive, cost-saving and less materials-consuming. Moreover, this advantage stands more out when the machine gage is higher.

Due to limited research time and references, this paper only presents the whole garment technology for knitting common and traditional styles. More complicated and fashioned garments can be studied in the future research.

The design method and technology presented in this paper can be used as a reference for both the designers in the manufacture industry and the scholars for academic research works.

This paper has presented the whole garment technology and a specific method for technique calculation with consideration of garment structures. It also builds a evaluation system to show the advantages in terms of knitting efficiency, labor cost and yarn consumption.

For many types of automated manufacturing equipment there is a requirement to supply the equipment with parts which invariably need to be presented in a single orientation. For metal cutting and forming work there is limited applicability and invariably the parts to be presented are simple shapes. For assembly, many different and sometimes complex shapes need to be presented and it is in this activity that small parts feeding has its biggest application.
