Repair, Rebuild & Resurface Machine Parts With Master Bond Steelmaster 43HT
With maintenance costs at an all time high, how about a little managed care to control expenses? Master Bond Steelmaster 43HT, a newly developed stainless steel filled high-performance epoxy resin compound offers an innovative, cost-effective solution for rebuilding, repairing and resurfacing worn and/or damaged machine components -- without breaking your budget. Steelmaster 43HT is a two-component epoxy system that cures quickly at room temperature and has outstanding corrosion resistance.

Epoxy Adhesive Has A "Forgiving" One To One Mix Ratio
Room-temperature curing epoxy adhesive Master Bond EP21 has outstanding physical properties and durability. It has a one-to-one mix ratio by weight or volume. It also permits adjusting the properties of the cured system for altering the mix ratio. Adding more Part A (e.g. 2:1) gives a more rigid cure (enhanced machineability), while adding more Part B gives a more forgiving cure (greater impact resistance). EP21 can also be used in food applications.

New One-Part RTV Silicone Cures in Minutes in Thin Films
Master Bond Inc. is proud to announce the successful development of a one-part RTV silicone adhesive/sealant that cures rapidly at room temperatures. Master Sil 711 requires no mixing and no heat. It solidifies in 2-3 minutes after application in thin films.

    INDUSTRY TRENDS
    *** Innovations for Machine Vision Integration Driven by Imaging Technology and Core technology drivers such as electronic miniaturization, advancements in camera technologies and imaging techniques as well as enhanced processing power drive the computer vision market. Vision systems assist with the achievement of manufacturing efficiencies, regulatory compliance and the avoidance of costs associated with defective products. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan Advances in Machine Vision Systems, finds that machine vision systems are becoming critical to the emerging requirements of industrial automation and robotics. These systems add a new dimension to statistical quality control principles and process control systems. In addition, advancements in semiconductors and reductions in computing costs have provided an impetus to the deployment of machine vision systems. Cost-effective manufacturing in developed economies starts with eliminating human labor wherever possible to reduce the high cost of labor. Furthermore, quality control processes exhibit lower reliability due to human error which can further increase costs. Today's manufacturing industry has a zero defect tolerance which necessitates the utilization of machine vision systems.
