Editors Corner “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Mark Zuckerberg The past year was marked by strong U.S. economic growth, supported by a burst of fiscal stimulus from federal tax cuts and spending increases. That, in turn, underpinned profit growth and the Federal Reserve’s decision to dial up its campaign of short-term interest-rate increases.

Judging by headlines closing out 2018, the global economy is on a wild roller coaster that’s going mostly downhill. The data tells a calmer and happier story.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the global economy grew a healthy 3.7 percent in 2018. That’s exactly how fast it grew in 2017. The IMF Bloomberg forecast for 2019? Again, 3.7 percent.

The contrast between the negative daily buzz and positive underlying conditions is sharpest in the U.S., where the expansion of the world’s largest economy has actually strengthened as it’s lengthened: Annualized growth rates in the two middle quarters of 2018 were 4.2 percent and 3.5 percent. In October alone, the economy generated 250,000 jobs.

Uncertainties abound as we begin 2019. What does that mean for your confidence personally and in business? If you are in the precision manufacturing industry, as many of our readers are, according to Gardner Intelligence, 2018 was record-breaking. Gardner Intelligence further asserts that although growth will slow throughout 2019, the industry will continue growing. In their estimates, machine tool consumption ended 2018 at $7 billion, and 2019 will experience 11-percent growth over that number.

How willing are you to take risks personally and in business? I just read an inspiring article about Axon Enterprise, an Arizona-based law enforcement technology company, and how they are encouraging risk amongst their employees, while simultaneously implementing a plan that encourages longevity with its employees.

At the company, just last month employees were asked whether they want to take part in a plan that gives them a chance to participate in a high-risk, high-reward compensation model.

In Axon’s plan, every employee will receive 60 special restricted stock units this month, and more than 500 employees who make over $100,000 a year can decide to invest between 5 percent and 50 percent of their salary to put at risk in Axon’s new Stock Performance Plan.

It will be exciting to see the participation rate, and the outcome in the next years. are those of the advertiser and not that of the publisher.

Axon’s plan may or may not be right for your business. Regardless, I encourage you to look The Publisher is not liable to any advertiser for any at creative risk taking, and reward based programs that increase retention and offer high misprints or errors not the fault of the publisher, and compensation for those who participate. Until next issue, I wish you an in such event, the limit of the publisher's liability shall outstanding 2019 and God Bless Our Troops! only be the amount of the publishers charge for such advertising.

Linda Daly The plan is not only dependent on how well the company performs, but also how well the stock market does. Axon co-founder Rick Smith, says, “The buy-in is expected to fundamentally change the way Axon employees think about their jobs”. He continued, “This makes everybody more of an owner, and I think this has the potential to unlock creativity and energy from our employees.We’re competing against tech people who want a high-risk return, and now we have a compensation plan that appeals to them, but it will take a decade to get there.”

Hurco Customer Starts YouTube Channel to Attract Millennials to Manufacturing ​ Hurco customer Wade Moore, owner of Moore Engineering, will officially launch his new YouTube channel “MooreCNC” at IMTS 2018. In order to attract more people to machining, he started a YouTube channel to illustrate to his generation how cool and techoriented manufacturing really is.

Wade started his shop in 2014 and does mostly short run jobs.

Even though Wade is the great grandson of Richard Moore, of Moore jig borer fame, he wasn’t planning to start his own shop after he graduated from the University of Connecticut with a mechanical engineering degree. Entering the Chipmaker Challenge, a competition sponsored by Hurco at IMTS 2014, inspired him to control his future and pursue his dream. “Doing the Chipmaker Challenge is what really pushed me to make a business plan, and motivate myself to take a leap towards manufacturing as a full time job.”

Wade purchased his first Hurco CNC machine in 2016. “What I didn’t realize was that the Hurco machine was going to be so easy to train my younger brothers and sister on,” Wade chuckles and proudly flips through his phone camera videos that show his siblings operating the Hurco with confidence.

“I can teach them how to run the machine for a specific job very quickly and they are so proficient that I can relax and let them work all day while I can run other spindles or set up for the next jobs.” Wade has found that the quality of the finishes he gets on the stainless steel medical parts are great on the Hurco. “Part after part emerges flawless. It is by far the easiest machine to operate and the definite ‘go to’ machine for any fast job that needs to be done,” said Wade.

Dear Customers, New, Long Term, And Soon To Be, I trust that you finished up a very successful 2018, and that we will all see a strong 2019. On behalf of the entire Ellison Machinery team, I want to thank you for your continued patronage, loyalty and friendship.

At Ellison Machinery, 2018 was a very good year, albeit a year of change.

Early in the year, the DMG/Mori Seiki Company completed their plan to convert their sales organization to a fully direct sales force. Despite a long and successful relationship, their unilateral decision left us with no choice.

Our first instinct was to rush out and try and replace in kind with new suppliers and new products. We want to thank many of our customers who came forth to offer their advice about how to better serve our market. As always, the voice of the customer proved invaluable. There were three recurring themes: Support what you sell; Sell practical and affordable technologies that make us as customers more competitive and three; Continue to constantly expose us to changes in manufacturing technology that impacts our businesses.

While incorporating this valuable input into our strategy to deal with change, our first action was to concentrate our energies in support of our American made and powerful offering from Haas Automation. We are grateful for the wide market support that allowed 2018 to be a record year for Ellison and Haas. While considering the important suggestions from our customers, we concluded that we would be more helpful to make certain that we offered new and better solutions for: a) Automation, b) Metrology, c) Incoming Material Management and d) high end multi pallet and 5-axis.

We took our time last year. We carefully evaluated several machine tool lines.

We wanted Ellison Machinery to represent a superior and comprehensive portfolio of products and our selection would include: • Automation • Inspection • Metal cutting • Multi axis / multi pallet ...And Not To Forget Our Market Share Leader, Haas Machine Tools Late last year, our selection process was completed. We are very confident that we chose some of the very best lines and technologies that will enable our customers to remain very competitive.

For Automation, we selected Universal Robots. For Inspection, we offer the Mitutoyo line. And, we also added one of the finest metal cutting lines with the addition of our Amada saws and grinders. For high end multi pallet and multi axis we selected Heller.

We’ll provide brief descriptions of each of the new product lines we have added to our portfolio, just enough information for you to allow our team to follow up with you with in-depth analysis of the products you need. We look forward to a fantastic 2019 supporting you.

Cheers, Patrick Ellison

Honeywell Aerospace Startup Looks To Disrupt $4B Used Aerospace Parts Market A startup that’s part of Honeywell Aerospace’s Phoenix operations is looking to disrupt the $4 billion used aerospace parts industry through a new online marketplace that uses blockchain technology.

02/16/10

A2Z Metalworker Trade, similar to Amazon.com, allows 1/3GoDirect page square - 5 3/8 x 5 3/8"

parts distributors to set up their own online storefront to buy and sell used aerospace parts.

The site lists prices, photos and quality documentation for each part, and is meant to be more user-friendly to set it apart from ILS, its biggest competitor, said Lisa Butters, general manager of GoDirect Trade.

“The current sites are very archaic and don’t list prices or photos,” said Butters, who has been working with the startup since April. “Honeywell wanted to do something better for the high-dollar used and surplus aerospace parts space. Less than 2.5 percent of all transactions in this space are done online.”

Honeywell Aerospace Trading, the first storefront set up on the site, is the fifth largest aerospace parts trader in the world. It sells everything from $10 widgets to million-dollar plus engines.

Aircraft parts have an average of four owners. The parts are a mix from dismantled aircraft to parts that are replaced because they need upgrades, she said.

The site originally was meant to digitize Honeywell’s trading group before the idea was born to open it up to other sellers, Butters said.

Accredited sellers from around the world can subscribe to the site for a flat fee of $15,000 a year to set up their store with unlimited listings for the year.

GoDirect Trade makes money from those subscriptions and does not take a cut from any sales, she said.

“We wanted the site to be consumer focused, but geared to B2B,” Butters said.

“We were told we will revolutionize the industry with this. Sellers can’t list parts without the price, photo and quality documents, which is what the customer wants. The parts are worth nothing without the documentation.”

Customers can ask questions with the seller and negotiate on prices, as well as review the seller, which is similar to Etsy. The site also uses the same checkout process as any other e-commerce site, and customers can pay with purchase orders, which is a common way to pay for these parts, she said.

“If Amazon and Etsy had a baby, and that baby came out with a corporate tie, that would be GoDirect Trade,” Butters said.

GoDirect Trade held a soft launch in November with four early adopters who collaborated with the beta launch and design, including Honeywell Aerospace Trading. The site will go live in January.

WG Henschen, a Scottsdale-based aviation parts distributor, is one of the site’s early adopters and has been working with GoDirect Trade since October.

Nate Niebergall, WG Henschen’s director of sales, said he thinks the site will make buying and selling parts online an easier process, and is an avenue to grow his company’s name and brand. WG Henschen has been around since the 1950s and Niebergall acquired it two years ago.

“I’m really excited to bring more technology to the aviation industry,” Niebergall said. “In aviation we always want to get things done quicker.We can’t ever get parts quick enough. On the current system you still have to send an email or a phone call just to get pricing.You have to go through so many hoops.With GoDirect Trade you can have that right upfront.”

“Pricing is such a voodoo topic in this industry, although I don’t see why,” Niebergall said. “This will bring it front and center. This is also an easy way to get to our customers quickly.”

The four-employee GoDirect Trade, which is funded by Honeywell Aerospace, plans to scale and grow fast, Butters said. Honeywell Aerospace is a subsidiary of Honewell International Inc. (NYSE: HON), based in New Jersey.

“Honeywell is like our venture capitalists,” she said. “We operate like a startup.We built the site in 12 weeks, which for this industry is something they haven’t seen before.”

GoDirect Trade also developed the software to allow companies to easily load and categorize photos and documents.

Honeywell Aerospace Trading has scanned 15,000 parts so far at its Phoenix warehouse, and expects to list at least 30,000 parts just in its own store.

This will force the industry to modernize, Butters said.

“Before there was an average of four emails and two phone calls to sell one item,” she said. “If you put in the work it makes it a way better experience for the customer.”By Hayley Ringle – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal

U.S. and China Agree to Suspend January Tariff Boost After a meeting on the sidelines of the G20 Summit between the U.S. delegation led by President Trump and the Chinese Delegation led by President Xi, the countries agreed to a 90-day trade truce, suspending scheduled tariff boosts from 10 percent to 25 percent on $200 billion in Chinese goods scheduled for January 1, 2019.

However, the rate on these 5,745 items will increase on March 1, 2019, to 25 percent if the President does not believe enough progress is made.

In return for the U.S. tariff suspension, the Chinese agreed to purchase an unspecified amount of American agricultural, industrial, energy, and other products.

During this 90-day trade truce the countries plan to reach a broader trade agreement by its March 1 deadline.

Currently, negotiators are working on an agreement where China, over the next several years, will increase purchases of American goods and services by as much as $1.2 trillion. While negotiators seem optimistic a deal will be reached in time, actions by either country during this period, like last week’s arrest of a Chinese national over alleged violations of U.S. sanctions, could make reaching an agreement that much harder.

The lander will survey the planet’s surface for spots to drill up to 16 feet below, where it will measure the soil’s temperature and took other readings, and the data will be used to understand how Mars formed. Its mission is set to last 728 days and researchers hope to unveil insights about Earth’s own geological processes.

SolAero will also play a part in NASA’s Europa Clipper Mission by designing, manufacturing and testing solar array panels for the spacecraft, which is set to take flight in 2023.

United Technologies Says It Will Split Into 3 Companies United Technologies plans to split into three separate companies, the industrial giant said recently.

The breakup, to be completed by 2020, signals a shift away from a kitchen-sink approach to industrial manufacturing in favor of generating returns by specializing in a single

area of business.

equipment among other products.

One of the entities will be called United Technologies, with a focus on aerospace, wrapping up the company’s Collins Aerospace Systems and Pratt & Whitney units.

An o t h e r wil l b e Ot is, manufacturing elevators and escalators, and the t h ir d wil l b e Car r ie r, making heating and cooling

“Our decision to separate United Technologies is a pivotal moment in our history and will best position each independent company to drive sustained growth,” the company’s chairman and chief executive, Gregory J. Hayes, said in a statement.

Last week, Chinese regulators approved the company’s $30 billion purchase of Rockwell Collins, a manufacturer of airplane parts, providing the final green light for a deal struck last year.

With the acquisition, the company added the scale it needed to establish a stand-alone business in aerospace systems, analysts said.

Formed in 1934, United Technologies spent decades getting bigger and broader in reach, and for the most part making a lot of shareholders richer along the way.

But in recent years, the company “struggled to make the conglomerate model produce the same kind of financial outcomes,” said Carter Copeland, an analyst with Melius Research, citing stagnant growth in earnings per share. “Separating allows them to focus on what each business needs to do to be successful on its own.”

After all, Copeland said, producing airplane engines requires a different strategy than making air-conditioners. The aerospace business operates on decadelong timelines, while cooling equipment requires a shorter-term outlook.

The company had conducted a review of its operations and promised to make a decision on a breakup before year’s end.

Hayes, for his part, had dropped hints that he wanted to split up his $103 billion conglomerate.

At a Fortune conference in September, Hayes said that the board and investors had asked: “Will these businesses be better as a part of United Technologies as a conglomerate, or better as stand-alone, focused business.” He added his two cents: “My view is: Focus ultimately leads to success.” Source: Natalie Kitroeff – The New York Times

U.S. Job Openings in October Rise to 2nd-Highest on Record The number of open jobs rose in October to the second-highest on record, evidence that U.S. employers remain determined to hire despite ongoing trade disputes and rocky financial markets.

The Labor Department said recently that the number of job openings increased 1.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted 7.1 million. That is not far from the record of 7.3 million reached in August.

The number of people hired also climbed while the ranks of those who quit their jobs fell slightly.

The data underscore that the labor market remains strong and suggest that last months jobs report, which showed a modest drop in the pace of hiring, does not reflect a pessimistic outlook among employers. The economy expanded over the summer and fall at the fastest six-month pace in four years.

Last month, the government said employers added 155,000 jobs in November, down from 237,000 in the previous month and below the average monthly gain this year.

The unemployment rate stayed at a nearly five-decade low of 3.7 percent.

INTRODUCES THE NEW

PLUG AND PLAY PLUG AND PLAY

The report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, includes data on the number of jobs advertised by employers, as well as total hiring and the number of layoffs and quits. The reported job gain is a net figure.

Many economists saw the hiring decline in the report as a potential sign that the economy and job market are decelerating from robust growth achieved earlier this year after the Trump administration’s tax cuts and increased government spending took effect.

After healthy growth in the second and third quarters, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta forecasts that the economy will expand at a slower but stillsolid 2.4 percent pace in the final three months of the year.

Growth is also likely to remain at roughly that level in 2019, analysts estimate.

Job openings soared 7.6 percent in manufacturing to 522,000, where many employer s say they are unable to find qualified workers. Factory jobs increasingly require higher-tech skills in areas such as robotics

Openings also jumped in construction, financial activities, and retail. They fell in mining and logging, professional and business services such as accounting, and were essentially unchanged in health care.

The number of people quitting their jobs declined slightly and is down to 3.5 million, from a peak of 3.65 million in August. Quits are generally seen as a sign of job market strength, as most people quit for other jobs, typically at higher pay.

The decline in quits is a mild disappointment to some economists.

“Despite an unemployment rate at multi-decade lows ... quitting hasn’t further picked up,” Nick Bunker, an economist at job search website Indeed, said. “Perhaps an even tighter labor market is needed to boost quitting, or a tight labor market isn’t as powerful as once thought.”by Christopher Rugaber, Associated Press Economics Writer A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Enhance Hearing and Reduce Stigma Around Traditional Hearing Aids Manchester Metropolitan University graduate Elen Parry, a current Industrial Digitalisation masters student at the university and an International Autodesk Student Ambassador for the UK, is focused on using “Human-Centred Design methods” to reduce exclusion against people. Her current project is a 3D printed wireless earbud concept, aimed at helping people with hearing disabilities fight the stigma around traditional hearing aids, while enhancing their hearing at the same time.

Parry’s HeX earbuds, which were chosen by the Design Council’s CEO Sarah Weir as the top pick for this year’s ‘New Designers’ event, are audio headphones that can also be used as an advanced hearing device.The concept calls for the use of an advanced chip, which would receive and process sound signals and be able to differentiate and control what you actually want to hear and normal background noise. Users could decrease or increase the volume of their environment, which A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

could help extend their ability to hear while at the same time protecting them against hearing loss.

Thanks to technology like 3D printing and connected manufacturing systems, it’s now possible to produce devices like hearing aids and earbuds, and combined products like HeX, on a large scale.

“My mission is to encourage social inclusion through my designs, to create improved situations for everyone.The driving principle behind creating HeX earbuds was to create a hearing device that is for everyone – whether you live with hearing loss or perfect hearing,” said Parry.

“People with disabilities often feel excluded and conspicuous because of their medical devices, so I want to transform hearing aids into a desirable wearable tech product that gives people enhanced hearing, style and confidence – something that anyone might want to wear.

“3D printing enables us to manufacture them quickly and relatively simply, so HeX earbuds could be easily produced for a mass audience.”

The HeX earbuds would be made out of silicone, with single to three flange protection and medical-grade titanium casing, and able to be personalized and 3D printed to exactly fit any ear size or shape. The product’s hexagonal shape offers a more natural, multidirectional hearing experience, which would make it possible for users to hear and process a multitude of different sounds. The idea is for the hearing aid earbuds to also provide the latest connective technologies, so that no matter a person’s hearing ability or lack thereof, HeX is still a sought after product in the mass market.

“It was my intention to design an accessible hearing aid that removes social barriers and can enhance human ability, making it desirable to a wider range of people,” Parry wrote on her site.

For instance, HeX users could connect with other devices in order to easily complete tasks like streaming music or answering the phone while out and about through the use of embedded Bluetooth, infrared, and motion technologies.

Additional technologies Parry hopes to incorporate into HeX include rechargeable graphene batter ies, along with dual connectivity strips for fast charging.

A 3D printed prototype of Parry’s HeX earbud concept has already been produced at the university’s advanced 3D printing and digital manufacturing hub Print City, which is open to both industry and researchers.

“This is one of many examples of how additive manufacturing and out-of-the box thinking by Elen disrupts the current design of medical devices,” said Professor Craig Banks, the academic lead of Print City.

Few industries have been affected quite as much by 3D printing as the hearing aid manufacturing industry, which switched entirely to 3D printing several years ago after Phonak, owned by Sonova, began using the technology to produce its hearing aids. The global company was seeing such success with 3D printing that the rest of the industry noticed, and quickly followed suit. Not long after, other production methods in the hearing aid world were basically wiped out by 3D printing.

and CF34 engines, the GEnx for Boeing’s Dreamliner, the Engine Alliance GP7200 engine for Airbus A380 double-decker jets, two versions of the LEAP series engines, and the Passport for business jets.

The plane formerly known as Clipper Ocean Spray logged 3,916 testing hours with various GE Aviation products, including two versions of the LEAP series engines developed by CFM International, a 50-50 joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines. CFM has received orders and commitments for more than 16,300 LEAP engines valued in excess of $236 billion at list price. Some 75 percent of all new single-aisle aircraft being delivered today are powered by LEAP engines.

The FAA require engines to undergo rigorous testing in real-world conditions before being certified for commercial use, a job Possert undertakes with obvious pride.

Testing includes everything from basic performance like fuel burn to extreme flight conditions that most engines will never experience during service, such as the high angle of attack during aircraft stalls, zero-G operations, large sideslips and sustained flight in icing conditions. “These are things that are very difficult or impossible to do on the ground,” Possert explains. “You can’t define airplane engine performance unless you’re in flight at different altitudes and Mach numbers.”

The testbed was exceptionally well-maintained under GE’s care, Possert says.

However, the lack of available parts began to catch up with it. For instance, the 747100 uses a unique tire size, meaning GE had to special-order 50 at a time. In recent years, other parts became difficult or impossible to obtain.The 747-100 navigation systems also lacked many modern technologies, meaning that, if GE were so inclined, the plane couldn’t be flown into Europe under the EU’s navigation rules.

In short, through no fault of the testbed’s own, it was time to retire. GE acquired another testbed in 2010 — a 747-400, which remains in service and is currently

testing the largest jet engine ever built, the GE9X GE acquired another testbed in 2010 — a 747-400 (with blue tail in the foreground), which remains in service and is currently testing the largest jet engine ever built, the GE9X. Image credit: GE Aviation.

The original testbed is the largest GE donation to the Pima Air & Space Museum, one of the largest privately funded nongovernmental air museums in the world.The museum’s holdings also include the RA-5C Vigilante, which was one of the largest aircraft to fly off U.S. carriers, powered by two GE J79-GE-10 engines; a Bell UH-1F Iroquois helicopter with one General Electric T58-GE-3 turboshaft; and an F/A-18 Hornet with two GE F404-GE-400 engines that was in service with the Blue Angels. All told, the museum has 26 aircraft featuring GE engines.

On Nov. 15, after guiding the testbed to an easy landing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base just north of Pima, Possert brought the plane to a halt and announced, “Shutting down the engines for the last time.” He paused for a few seconds before moving the fuel levers to cutoff, realizing the significance of the moment. Then, using a chisel-point Sharpie brought along for the occasion, members of the flight crew signed their names to the interior of the cockpit, and walked alongside the plane as it was towed onto the Pima museum grounds and into the hands of history. by Brendan Coffey A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Iridium Receives Contract Extension For Navy Satellite Services Company has facilities in Tempe and Chandler A Tempe-based unit of Iridium Satellite LLC was awarded a $9 million contract extension from the U.S. Navy for its so-called warfighter satellite services.

“Under this contract with NSWC Dahlgren, we look to introduce new capabilities in which our unique lowearth orbiting satellite network can support critical tactical operations,” Scheimreif said. “As an example, now with Iridium NEXT almost complete, we will soon launch Iridium Certus, our higher speed service, for the DoD.” This fixed-price contract is to support commercial satellite-based network services for the Department of Defense in the areas of satellite, ground node, user equipment/terminal software and hardware development, integration and testing.

Half of the work will be done in McLean, while the other half will be done at the Tempe facility. The work is expected to be completed by November 2019, according to the contract.

Iridium’s commercial gateway and testing support centers are in Tempe and Chandler, respectively.

There is no additional hiring expected as a result of this extended contract, according to a Iridium spokeswoman.

In October, Iridium’s Tempe and Chandler facilities were awarded a $44 million contract extension for its Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services program with the Depar tment of Defense.

The test took place at the General Dynamics SGSS laborator y in Scottsdale, Arizona. Future system testing and evaluation will take place at NASA’s White Sands Complex i n L a s C r u c e s , N ew M e x i c o, which serves as the operational headquarters for the NASA Space Network (SN).

Both the SN and the SGSS projects support NASA’s Space Communication and Navigation (SCaN) program. The transition from laboratory to on-site testing and operations validation means that all essential hardware, software and engineering of the new SN digital ground system are on schedule for its first Operational Readiness Review in 2019.

“The success of this final laboratory test is a testament to the close collaboration among the various General Dynamics and NASA teams,” said Manny Mora, a vice president and general manager of General Dynamics Mission Systems.

“Together, we evaluated more than 430 system-level requirements.”

“The next chapter in the SGSS story is to continue end-to-end system testing, while training operators and maintenance teams on the new system,” said Mora.

N A S A ’s S N i s a g l o b a l communications network that consists of a ground and a space segment. The SGSS program is replacing the legacy ground segment, which is experiencing technology and hardware obsolescence. The space segment consists of a constellation of 10 geosynchronous Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS). The TDRS relay communicates data and command and control information from client spacecraft to the ground segment.

The General Dynamics-designed and built SGSS ground segment integrates commercial, digital technologies and custom capabilities to replace legacy SN ground segment components, while it continues day-to-day communications with more than 40 space missions, including the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope. SGSS will be able to expand and support new NASA missions, in addition to those currently operated by the Space Network.

What GM’s layoffs Reveal About The Digitalization Of The Auto Industry News that General Motors plans to cut up to 14,800 jobs in the U.S. and Canada was initially reported as a conventional business-cycle adjustment — a “trimming of the sails.”The main causes of the cuts were understood to be slowing demand in the U.S. and China, slumping demand for sedans, and the need to reduce overcapacity in North America.

GET PAID CASH FOR SCRAP METAL

We purchase all types of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals.

Then the story turned political, as President DonaldTrump lashed out at GM while some observers framed the news as a blow to the president’s promises to bring jobs back to the U.S. heartland.

And then others focused on the community disruption of plant closings in the Rust Belt and how it might be mitigated.

While all of those perspectives are relevant, the most revealing aspect of GM’s announcement may well be what the layoffs say about broader technology trends. GM’s layoffs are not just incremental but existential, in that sense: They are about accelerating the staffing changes mandated by the company’s aggressive transition from analog to digital products and from gasoline to electric power. As such, the new layoffs (and associated future hirings) are likely an augury of much more disruption coming — in the auto sector, for sure, but also in firms all across the economy.

Central to GM’s announcement is, in our view, what we call the “ digitalization of everything.” By that, we mean that GM’s layoffs significantly reflect the talent and workforce strains associated with the diffusion of digital and electronic technologies into nearly every industry, business and workplace in America.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Specifically, the advent of consumer electronics, IT, electric and batterypowered drivetrains and — soon — autonomy in the automotive industry are placing excruciating new demands on its workforce, and forcing painful change. Where once the auto-sector workforce was anchored by workers responsible for mechanical and machinemaintenance roles, the need for electrical skills is now growing exponentially due to the increasing electrical and electronic content of the car. Likewise, where mechanical engineers once predominated, the original equipment manufacturers are increasingly looking for software engineers, energy management experts and data scientists able to build electric and self-driving vehicles.

Our recent analysis of the digital content of hundreds of occupations in the American economy shows that the digital content of auto work has soared in the last 15 years, with huge implications for workforce development in the sector. The mean digitalization score of workers in the advanced manufacturing sector, of which auto is a part, surged 60%, from 24 to 39 since 2002. This has reoriented the occupational mix of the industry, changing its hiring needs and layoff decisions. As of 2016, for example, the fastest-growing occupations in the auto sector were computer network support specialists and software developers, while two of the fastest-shrinking were drilling and boring machine operators and sheet metal workers. Similar patterns of cutting and hiring are visible in GM’s announcement.

Nor is that all: Look for more of the same in the future — from GM, and from all other companies in the sector. According to our calculations, employing tasklevel work assessments provided by the McKinsey Global Institute, nearly 65% of all auto-sector jobs have task-level automation potentials of at least 70% in the next 10 or 15 years, meaning they are potentially susceptible to significant work changes, if not termination. With that said, “GM’s transformation also includes adding technology and engineering jobs to support the future of mobility, such as new jobs in electrification and autonomous vehicles.”

3027 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85034 • (602) 275-1917 In that vein, the layoffs surely were a response to changing near-term market conditions. But beyond that, the cuts went much deeper, to respond to massive, technology-driven changes in the nature of the work at hand.

What should be done instead? As a nation, we should be embracing transformative technology and its widespread deployment, whether it be electrification and hyper-efficient batteries in the auto sector or automation and artificial intelligence more broadly. Likewise, we should be increasing our investments in education and workforce training (and retraining), with a focus on digital skills.

Only in that way will workers be able to ride out the coming waves of tech-driven staffing changes.

And finally, the nation needs to do much more to provide basic supports for people and places struggling with the harsh impacts of labor-market change. To be sure, workers must adapt, but firms, governments and regions all have a responsibility to help.

All of which is to say: GM’s announcement of layoffs is much more than a routine course-adjustment by a company alert to market softening after a good run. Rather, it’s a wake-up call about the labor-market implications of the “digitalization of everything.”By Mark Muro and Robert Maxim – Harvard Business Review

Yes, the company is nearing the end of its 2nd decade, but coowners Steve Macias and Jack Cuddihy had nothing short of an epiphany. An epiphany is defined as an experience of a ‘sudden and striking realization’. Generally the term is used to describe scientific breakthrough, religious or philosophical discoveries, but it can apply in any situation in which an enlightening realization allows a problem or situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective.

Jack says, “We launched our business in 2000, and that year purchased 3 new Haas machines.The market crashed, and we treaded water for the next few years just to stay alive.” Steve adds, “Over the next several A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

A couple of years ago, Steve was on a fishing trip with a few friends who were in the investment banking business. Steve says, “Over the course of our fishing days, we talked about Pivot Manufacturing, including all of the things the company was doing well.” He continued, “We are a HUB-zoned Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), our customers are Tier 1 companies in the Defense industry, we are ISO/AS9100 Revision D certified, ITAR compliant and we deliver quality parts on time.” Pivot Manufacturing is also very involved in the local community, participating on the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona Manufacturers Council, and many more local organizations. Steve says, “We try to contribute to our community in as many ways as possible.”

These friends invest in businesses, and they helped Steve to understand that, while Pivot Manufacturing was indeed an excellent supplier to its customers, it ranked very low on its metrics for investment funding. Indeed, Steve and Jack’s ultra-conservative approach to their business meant that they weren’t investing into the machine tools and technology they needed to grow the business. Steve says, “Basically, they told me that Pivot should have seen substantially higher growth than we were experiencing.”

Jack and Steve took the advice learned from the investment bankers, and when they completed the bankers’ investment template scorecard, their results were enough to convince the two partners that they needed to make some very different decisions about how they would run the business going forward.

One of the c hanges Pivot Manufacturing implemented was their strategy for growing their customer base. Steve says, “We were aggressively targeting new customers.”

He continued, “While this is a sound sales approach, when we analyzed our business, we determined that our time and efforts would be better spent cultivating our current customers, including General Dynamics, BAE Systems, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, Ducommun and NammoTalley.” Pivot Manufacturing already had approved supplier numbers with theirTier 1 Defense customers, and they approached the customers they had been working with for years, asking for referrals to other divisions within the company. Jack says, “Our core business is defense related manufacturing, and our new sales strategy was designed specifically to capitalize on this.”

Jack and Steve made some changes in their team. Steve says, “Every precision manufacturing company out there is having a difficult time finding qualified workers. We were lucky to find some outstanding individuals to grow our team.We had an intern a few years ago, David Guido, who was studying Industrial Design at ASU. When he graduated, we were able to hire him full time. Today, at the young age of 23, David’s expertise in processes was perfect for our Plant Floor Manager position.” Pivot also found some very good additions to their team through the Maricopa Skills Center.

Pivot Manufacturing had been slow to add equipment to their business, and when they did, in the past most machine tool purchases were used machines. Jack says, “We were bidding on projects, in particular, larger volume opportunities, and losing them because our pricing wasn’t competitive with other shops due to our older machines.”

In 2017, the Pivot team contacted Jason McCurdy, Business Manager at Ellison Machinery. Jack says, “Jason has been patient with us over the past 8 years. It paid off, as when we were ready to make 3 new capital equipment purchases, he was there for us as he always had been, and we would purchase our new machines through Jason and the Ellison Machinery team.”

In the past 18 months, the team at Pivot purchased 3 high speed Haas VF-2SS (Super-Speed Vertical Machining Centers) with Through-Spindle Coolant systems.

Jack says, “Jason has always been very responsive for us, and on our team, Dan Way worked very closely with Randy Mulhollen, Application Engineer with

Ellison Machinery. Randy helped Dan in designing the work holding fixtures for our high volume jobs.”

Today, Pivot Manufacturing is winning new jobs on a regular basis, and Steve adds, “In the past, we would win projects with parts in quantities of hundreds, where today we are winning projects with parts in quantities of thousands.” David adds, “We are so much more competitive with our new machining centers. As an example, on any aluminum parts we are machining, we are reducing cycle times by at least half.” He continued, “We just finished a job that previously took us 50 minutes to machine and today we do in 15 minutes.”

Jason says, “Working with the Pivot Manufacturing team has been so rewarding. When they made the decision to aggressively grow their business, buying 3 new Haas machines and optimizing them with work holding, it was so good to see how eagerly the entire team embraced the changes that would facilitate their growth.”

Pivot’s epiphany is paying off for the company.They have grown their relationships with their Tier 1 suppliers, today they are winning orders in much higher quantities, and the company is poised for a record year. Steve says, “We have never seen growth like this, and it is just so exciting.”

Ford And Walmart To Test Driverless Car Deliveries Ford will partner with Walmart to test ways to deliver groceries by driverless car, as the Detroit carmaker struggles to dispel the perception it is trailing rival General Motors in the race to make money from autonomous vehicles.

The carmaker announced that it would set up a pilot program with Walmart and Postmates, the delivery start-up, to “explore how selfdriving vehicles can deliver many everyday goods such as groceries, diapers, pet food and personal care items”.

Ford is looking at different types of partnerships to help build a selfdriving car business. Last month Sherif Marakby, the head of Ford’s autonomous car unit, told the FinancialTimes the carmaker was open to working with rivals to expand self-driving services internationally, adding weight to speculation it may partner with Volkswagen on driverless cars.

Separately, it is partnering with retailers such as Walmart to gain consumer insights and “strengthen our effort to successfully deploy self-driving vehicles in a way that people actually want to experience — whether they are ordering takeout, groceries or anything else they might need,” Ford said in a corporate blog post. No cash changes hands in the transaction, a spokesman said.

“Like us, Walmart believes that self-driving vehicles have an important role to play in the future of delivery, and that true success comes from first learning how individuals want to use them,” Ford said.

GMA GARNET GROUP

Walmart said in a corporate blog post: “We’re still learning — it’s a pilot — but we want to make sure we stay on the cutting edge of grocery delivery by exploring what’s new and next.”

when your abrasive matters!

It added: “We recently explored a small pilot project with Waymo, to start exploring how customers will want to use self-driving cars when it comes to their grocery shopping.”Waymo chief executive John Krafcik on Tuesday said this would involve customer transport.

Ford is using a fleet of what it calls “simulated autonomous vehicles” to deliver pizzas in Miami.The cars are driven by a human whose presence is disguised to make the vehicle appear driverless. The goal is to gather information about how consumers and retail staff interact with the vehicles of the future that lack a human operator.

Walmart has a grocery delivery service that it expects to be available by the end of this year in 800 stores across 100 metropolitan areas in the US, with the number of stores set to double next year.

Ford has completed more than 1,000 deliveries of goods from flowers to dry cleaning as part of the initial phase of building its driverless business, the company said.

US Factory Production Expands for Fifth Consecutive Month

Check Out Our New State-of-the-Art Facility!

U.S. factory production expanded in October for a fifth straight month, the longest streak since 2011 and indicating a solid start to the fourth quarter, Federal Reserve data showed last month.

Manufacturing output rose 0.3% after an upwardly revised 0.3% gain in the prior month. Economists had projected a median increase of 0.2%.

Total industrial production, which also includes mining and utilities, increased a below-forecast 0.1%, reflecting declines in those sectors.

Key Insights Factory output continued to grow at a solid clip, supported by a range of sectors including metals, machinery, aerospace and furniture.While buoyant consumer demand and this year’s corporate tax cuts have helped boost production, the sector faces headwinds including higher costs for materials and supply constraints partly linked to the trade war with China.

The industrial production figures reflect a 0.5% decline in utility output, the biggest drop since June, and a 0.3% decrease in mining, the largest decline since January. Hurricanes Florence and Michael, which made landfall in September and October respectively, lowered industrial production during the two months, “but their effects appear to be less than 0.1% per month,” the Fed said.

Capacity utilization, measuring the amount of a plant that’s in use, eased to 78.4% from an upwardly revised 78.5% in the prior two months, the highest since January 2015. That compares with the long-run average of 79.8%.

Production of motor vehicles and parts decreased the most since May; excluding autos and parts, manufacturing output rose 0.5%. While energy production fell 0.3% in October, oil and natural-gas well drilling was up 1.6%.

The facilities will be used for the production of cutting-edge semiconductor materials at Fujifilm Electronic Materials U.S.A. Inc. The expansion is part of a 10-billion-yen investment (about $88 million) that the company expects to spend on facilities in Mesa and Rhode Island.

The expanded facility will be adjacent to Fujifilm’s existing facility near Pecos and Mountain roads in Mesa, Shohei Kawasaki, a spokesman for Fujifilm said. The company’s existing building totals 243,000 square feet on 30 acres of land. City documents show the expansion will include about 87,045 square feet of space.

According to city of Mesa, about 260 people are employed there.

Kawasaki said the company does plan to hire once the expansion is complete, but the total number of new employees has not been finalized.

City documents estimate the expansion will create about 60 new jobs.

The new Mesa buildings will be used for the development of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurries used to polish the surface of the semiconductors as well as high purity solvents. The buildings will include clean rooms and inspection devices to accelerate product development and expand the company’s quality assurance structure.

Additional investment will be made to increase the production of CMP slurries to accommodate increasing demand, according to an announcement from Fujifilm.

Fujifilm Electronic Materials, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyobased Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, has had a presence in Mesa since 1995, Kawasaki said.

“Fujifilm has been expanding business by actively investing its management resources in the field of semiconductor materials that is expected to achieve strong growth,” Kawasaki said. “Fujifilm will continue to develop and supply cutting-edge semiconductor materials globally to contribute to the further advancement of the semiconductor industry.”

Construction on the expanded facility is planned to begin this month, and operations in the new facility are projected to begin in 2020, according to a company announcement.

Mesa has seen a slew of high-tech employers growing or relocating to Mesa. Last month, Piper Plastics Inc. began construction on its 90,000-square-foot North American Research and Development Tech Center in Mesa, where the company plans to eventually employ 200 people.

“On behalf of General Dynamics Supply Chain Organization, I would like to thank you for the dedicated support your team provided to the US Army.

Your efforts enabled a critical fielding of the MATV vehicles and supported our courageous military personnel. Thank you again for the outstanding performance to General Dynamics and the US Army.” One of many letters sent to APMI by VP General Dynamics “APMI now helps our company with many of the parts we need fabricated.

We are so pleased with their service, price and quality, and now they have a lot of our business. What more can you ask for? APMI provides high quality detailed drawings on custom products we want made and they make engineering design recommendations to improve the cost, design or manufacturability of our products.” Automotive Retrofit Manufacturer “We are a medical manufacturer and much of our equipment is custom.

We use APMI exclusively for our welding and sheet metal requirements.

They make final covers, tables and casings for our finished products. We’ve been using them since they opened for business. We do so because of their quality/workmanship and rates. If they ever have a problem that will cause a date slip (this happens very infrequently), we always get a call in advance. If you have never used APMI, I strongly encourage you to contact them. They are a great company.”Medical Products Manufacturer These are just a few of the excellent testimonials American Precision Manufacturing, Inc. (APMI) has received from their customers. The company, founded by Greg Bickel, is celebrating 20 years in business this year. The company built its reputation on its precision sheet metal fabrication capabilities, including mechanical assemblies and frame weldments (from light to medium to heavy). Their high quality tubular frames are built with state of the art equipment including laser, press brakes, iron workers, and tube benders, to name a few. Their latest purchase for precision sheet metal fabrication was the Amada fiber laser.

During the past 2 decades, the company has served such diverse industries as commercial (including trailers pictured on the next page) to automotive to aerospace to defense.

When Greg launched APMI in 1999, it was a one-employee company (Greg himself) supporting a few customers, including Greg’s former employer. 7 years later, the company had experienced so much growth that it moved into its current facility, which is comprised of ~30,000 feet across its buildings, located in Gilbert, Arizona.

Greg says, “Today, we remain true to our beginnings…we are still a precision sheet metal fabrication business. Our customers also know us for our honest communication. When a customer says ‘they want it in 3 weeks’ but we can’t deliver until 4 weeks, if we get the job, they will see high quality parts delivered to them in 4 weeks.” He continued, “We are still the same company today, but to remain competitive, we’ve naturally evolved with what our customers wanted.”

In 2011, the company purchased its first 2 CNC machines. The first, a Haas GR-510, is a gantry router with a 4th axis drive that has the power to cut aluminum and other metals, as well as the speed to cut plastics and other light materials. These machines easily handle large sheets of material, or can machine small parts by the thousand. The second new purchase was a Haas VF-4 vertical machining center. Greg says, “We opened our start up machining center to support our precision sheet metal fabrication business. We needed A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

this capability internally because when we were outsourcing our machining, turn around times from our suppliers often didn’t meet the schedules we had committed to with our customers.”

APMI’s next step in their evolution was certification. Greg says, “We first certified ISO 9001/ AS9100 in 2013 because our Defense and Aerospace customers, including direct to General Dynamics, Orbital ATK (purchased by Northrup Grumman in 2018), Boeing, Northrup Grumman and 2nd tier to Raytheon, required it.”

It was APMI’s Defense customers who helped push APMI further into CNC machining. Greg says, “When our long term customers came to our facility and saw a few machining centers, they let us know that if we wanted to offer machining capabilities as a business in addition to our sheet metal fabrication, they would bring business to us.”

In 2018, Greg made the decision to launch APMI’s machining business.The company purchased 2 new Haas machines, the first, a Haas ST-25Y, (a high-performance turning center). The 2nd machine they purchased was the Haas UMC-750.

Alex Anderson, APMI’s Sales Engineer for Ellison Machinery, supported APMI with their newest Haas purchases. Alex says, “The Haas UMC-750 universal machining center is a cost-effective solution for 3+2 machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining. It has a work envelope of 27” in diameter by 18” tall.”

Dan Aaron heads up APMI’s machining department. Dan says, “Our new Haas UMC-750 will reduce the number of operation on the Chassis we build for one customer from 6 operations to 3. It will reduce the time required for the part by at least 25%.” Greg adds, “Our 2 newest Haas machines enable us to accept machining work for our customers that we previously wouldn’t be able to bid competitively on.”

2018 will be record breaking in revenues for APMI. Greg says, “It was a year of learning as we grew our Aerospace/Defense business. From the finishes to the tolerances required, we’ve stepped up our capabilities and the level of precision needed for the aerospace / defense industries.” If you are looking for a superior precision sheet metal / CNC machining entity, contact APMI at 480-668-0024 or visit APMI2.com To learn more about the USA designed and manufactured Haas machines, contact Haas Factory Outlet / HFO130, a Division of Ellison Machinery Company, at 480-968-5877 or visit their website at EllisonAZ.com A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

For most people today, robots and smar t systems are servants that work in the background, vacuuming carpets or turning lights on and off. Or they’re machines that have taken over repetitive human jobs from assembly-line workers and bank tellers.

But the technologies are getting good enough that machines will be able work alongside people as teammates – much as human-dog teams handle tasks like hunting and bomb detection.

There are already some early examples of robots and people teaming up. Soldiers use drones for surveillance and ground robots for bomb disposal as they carry out military missions. But the U.S. Army envisions increased teaming of soldiers, robots and autonomous systems in the next decade. Beyond the military, these human-robot teams will soon start working in fields as diverse as health care, agriculture, transportation, manufacturing and space exploration.

Researchers and companies are exploring lots of avenues for improving how robots and artificial intelligence systems work – and technical advances are important. As an applied cognitive scientist who has conducted research on human teaming in highly technical settings, I can say human-robot systems won’t be as good as they could be if the designers don’t understand how to engineer technologies that work most effectively with real people.

1. Different jobs -Teams are necessarily groups of people with separate, though interdependent, roles and responsibilities. A surgical team might include a nurse, a surgeon and an anesthesiologist. Similarly, members of a human-robot team should be assembled to take on different elements of a complex task.

Robots should do things they are best at, or that people don’t want to do – like lifting heavy items, testing chemicals and crunching data.That frees up people to do what they’re best at – like adapting to changing situations and coming up with creative solutions to problems.

A human-robot surgical team might have a human surgeon conducting laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery with assistance from a robot manipulator with cameras inserted into the patient and operated externally by the surgeon.

Planning for this sort of division of labor suggests people shouldn’t replicate themselves in machines. In fact, humanoid-shaped robots or robots and AI that mimic human social behavior may mislead their human teammates into having unrealistic expectations of what they can do.

2. Mutual backup -Effective teams’ members know that everyone has a different role – but are available to support each other when necessary.

Teammates need to understand their own roles and those of the rest of the team, and how they fit together. They also need to be able to use this knowledge to avoid stepping on teammates’ toes, while anticipating others’ potential needs. Robots and artificial intelligence

need to understand how their parts of the task relate to the parts their teammates are doing, and how they might be able to help as needed.

3. Common understanding -Effective teams share knowledge about the team goals and the current situation and this facilitates their interactions – even when direct communication is not possible.The benefit of shared knowledge allows all sorts of collaborations and coordinations. For instance, when inflating a hot air balloon, the pilot is at one end, in the basket monitoring the burner. A crew member must be at the far end of the balloon, steadying it by holding a rope attached to its top.They can’t see or hear each other because the balloon blocks the view and the propane burner drowns out any other sound. But if they’re trained well, neither needs to communicate to know what the other is doing, and know what needs to happen next.

Some scholars have suggested that robots can’t build experience and shared knowledge with humans, while other researchers are working on finding ways to actually do that. Machine learning will likely be a key factor in helping robots develop expectations of their coworkers’ behavior. Coupled with human intelligence, each side will learn about the other’s capabilities, limitations and idiosyncrasies.

4. Effective interaction and communication -Team members need to interact; effective teaming depends greatly on the quality of those interactions. In hospital teams for emergency resuscitation of patients, team interaction and communication are crucial.Those teams are often made up of whatever medical personnel are nearest to the patient, and members need to know right away what happened before the patient’s heart stopped – a life is at stake.

Artificial intelligence researchers are making great strides in advancing computers’ ability to understand, and even produce, natural language – as many people experience with their smart assistant devices like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home, and mobile and car-based GPS directions systems.

It’s not even clear if typical human communication is the best model for human-robot teams. Human-dog teams do fine without the use of natural language. Navy SEALs can work together at highly effective levels without uttering a word. Bees communicate location of resources with a dance. Communication does not have to involve words; it could include sound signals and visual cues.

5. Mutual trust - Interpersonal trust is important in human teams. If trust breaks down among a team of firefighters, they’ll be less effective and may cost lives – each other’s or members of the public they’re trying to help. The best robot teammates will be trustworthy and reliable – and any breaches in reliability need to be explained.

Robots are not automatically capable of teaming with humans. They need to be assigned effective roles on the team, understand other team roles, train with human team members to develop common understanding, develop an effective way to communicate with humans, and be reliable and trustworthy. Most importantly, humans should not be asked to adapt to their nonhuman teammates. Rather, developers should design and create technology to serve as a good team player alongside people.

Take Note, Small Business Owners —InLoan ​Apple Computers Used To Be Built The Approval Rates High U.S.Are It Was A Mess.

In 1988, when Jean-Louis Gassée took a close look at Apple’s “highly automated” Macintosh factory in Fremont, California, what he saw was not pretty.

Gassée, a French specialist in office automation, had just been promoted to president of Apple’s product division by John Sculley, then Apple’s chief executive, and was responsible for the company’s engineering and manufacturing work. When he first started, Gassée decided to spend two days learning how the company actually built its products by working on a factory production line.

Static Test Qualifies Crew Safety Launch Abort Motor For Flight In Cold Conditions Northrop Grumman Corporation along with NASA and Lockheed Martin successfully performed a ground firing test of the abort motor for NASA’s Orion spacecraft Launch Abort System (LAS) at Northrop Grumman’s facility. The abort motor is a major part of the LAS, which provides an enhancement in spaceflight safety for astronauts.

The completion of this milestone brings Orion one step closer to its first flight atop NASA’s Space Launch System and to enabling humans to explore the moon, Mars and other deep space destinations beyond low-Earth orbit.

“Our astronauts’ safety is our top priority,” said Steve Sara, director, launch abort motor program, Northrop Grumman. “We never expect the launch abort motor to be used, but just like an ejection seat in a fighter pilot's aircraft, if they need it, it needs to work every time.”

The mission for Orion’s LAS is to safely jettison the spacecraft and crew out of harm’s way in the event of an emergency on the launch pad or during initial launch ascent.The abort motor test, Qualification Motor-2, A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

was the culmination of a series of component tests conducted over the past few years in preparation for qualification. Data from the test will confirm the motor can activate within milliseconds and will perform as designed under cold temperatures.

The abort motor, which stands over 17 feet tall and spans three feet in diameter, has a manifold with four exhaust nozzles. With its nozzles pointing skyward, it fired for five seconds; the exhaust plume flames reached approximately 100 feet in height. The high-impulse motor burns three times faster than a typical motor of this size, delivering the thrust needed to pull the crew module to safety. The motor achieved approximately 350,000 pounds of thrust in one eighth of a second, as expected. More analysis will be performed in the coming weeks, but all initial results indicate a successful test.

Northrop Grumman’s next major abort motor milestones include the Ascent Abort-2 Flight Test (AA-2) set to take place at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, in 2019. Previous large-scale tests of the launch abort motor included a development motor test in 2008, a pad abort test of the complete launch abort system in 2010 and the Qualification Motor-1 static test in 2017.

For the AA-2 flight test, in addition to the launch abort motor Northrop Grumman will also provide the Abort Test Booster (ATB), which will launch NASA’s Orion spacecraft and LAS to on a preplanned trajectory to obtain data to be used for LAS performance assessment.The ATB uses the same rocket motor as the first stage of a Minotaur IV rocket.

Northrop Grumman is responsible for the launch abort motor through a contract to Lockheed Martin, Orion’s prime contractor.

Zero Mass Water plans to install its hydropanels through partners in key regions, including the U.S., Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa and Latin America. Expansions will be in countries where solar has a strong foothold, Friesen said.

“The scale of the problem is massive,” he said. “Essentially we’re still in the Roman era when it comes to water.With water we still wait for the stuff to fall out of the sky.Water poverty is extraordinarily common in the U.S. and around the world. Our primary goal is to level set water poverty so it is as scarce as information poverty.”

The company’s device has a process to remove the moisture from the air and use sunlight to convert the water vapor into liquid water for drinking and cooking purposes. Two panels are enough to produce enough water for a family of four’s drinking and cooking needs, Friesen said.

“With the new capital we are really positioned going into 2019 and continue to evidence this game-changing technology,” he said. “I don’t think there can be a bigger problem to solve.”

Other than Gates’ Breakthrough EnergyVentures, Friesen said he couldn’t disclose investors other than to say they come from a range of large family offices and venture capital groups.

Bill Gates Is Lead Investor In Scottsdale Drinking Water Startup Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his Breakthrough Energy Ventures led the latest funding round for a Scottsdale-based developer of a hydropanel that extracts drinking water from sunlight and air.

Zero Mass Water Inc., founded in 2015 as an Arizona State University spinoff, closed a $25 million Series C round in October after raising $22 million in a Series B funding in March.

The $65 million total capital raise for the three-year-old company is helping propel its “very aggressive growth mode” of partnering with banks, schools and organizations to put from two to hundreds of panels on homes, schools and government buildings around the world, said CEO and founder Cody Friesen.

“We’re no longer a startup, we’re a scale-up,” Friesen said. “Today we’re installed in 17 countries. Our vision is to have water for every person, every place, to fix the challenge of clean, potable drinking water. The opportunity to fundamentally shift the way people get their drinking water is pretty dramatic.”

Zero MassWater doesn’t disclose how many panels it has sold, but Friesen said the company has hundreds of partners and many thousands of panels already deployed.

On the commercial side, Zero Mass Water is partnering with Macquarie Group Limited, an Australian investment bank and financial services company, to develop large-scale projects with thousands of panel arrays meant to produce large quantities of water for towns.

“We’re looking to do many of those in 2019,” said Friesen, adding the first one in another country will be announced early next year. “An important part of our strategy is a strong set of partnerships. Our goal is to really make sure that we fundamentally change the human relationship to water and finding the best partners to change the world.”

Other partners for smaller projects include Asian Development Bank in the Philippines;Australian Renewal Energy Agency in Australia; Caribbean Climate Smart Accelerator, chaired by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, which operates in all 26 Caribbean countries; and Arizona State University and U.S. AID in Lebanon and Jordan for Syrian refugees.

While Friesen did not want to disclose how many employees Zero Mass Water has, he did say the company plans to hire about 20 more U.S. employees in the next six months. Open positions will range from business development, to engineering, manufacturing and operations.

The headquarters and panel manufacturing facility are in former car dealerships at 6500 E. McDowell Road, with Zero Mass Water taking over four nearby dealerships.

“We have a tremendous amount of room here to grow,” Friesen said. “We have the ultimate dream situation to repurpose buildings that have a lot of charm and a cool space for people to come in and be creative and entrepreneurial.” By Hayley Ringle – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal

Farmington , NM Manufacturer To Expand And Add 180 New Jobs Farmington manufacturer Process Equipment and Service Co. announced it is growing and adding jobs.

PESCO is expanding its operations and is expected to create up to 180 new jobs, Gov. Susana Martinez’s office announced Monday.The company also is set to invest more than $7.5 million, adding 20,000 square feet onto its facility.

The state will invest up to $2.35 million in Local Economic Development Act funding for the expansion. San Juan County will act as the fiscal agent for the LEDA award. LEDA is a financial incentive used by the state and local governments as a closing fund to recruit new businesses and grow existing businesses in New Mexico.

“By expanding their manufacturing facility and creating more well-paying jobs, PESCO is expanding their impact on the local economy and helping New Mexicans find good jobs,” Economic Development Secretary Matt Geisel said in a statement.

The company tapped into LEDA funding to add 170 jobs in 2017, according to a release.

“PESCO has become a leader in process equipment in the western United States and is able to compete head to head with large companies from A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Denver to Houston,” PESCO President and CEO Kyle Rhodes said in a statement. “The quality of our workforce, which is 70 percent Native American, is exceptional including our outstanding engineers and our fabricators that are second to none.”

PESCO, which manufactures process equipment for the oil and gas industry, recently partnered with Albuquerque-based BayoTech, an agricultural tech firm by producing components for reactor units. The expansion allows PESCO to follow through with that, according to a news release.

“PESCO’s manufacturing expertise allows BayoTech to focus on developing our core technology and expanding our market,” BayoTech CEO Justin Eisenach said in a statement. “This allows for profitable sales growth and greater economic activity centering around skilled manufacturing job creation, economic diversification and acceleration of New Mexico’s innovation ecosystem.”

Last month, the governor’s office announced two international manufacturers expanding their operations to the Land of Enchantment, creating nearly 700 jobs. Taiwan-based Admiral Cable is expanding to Santa Teresa and creating 342 jobs while Rhino Health LLC is expanding to Church Rock on the Navajo Nation, bringing 350 jobs.

“Our future is bright, as we look to expand, partnering with BayoTech, another New Mexico company, to bring technology developed in our state in innovative products to the chemical and agricultural industries worldwide,” Rhodes continued.” By Ron Davis – Albuquerque Business

Dreaming of lights-out machining?

Do it right with a Linear Pallet System from Doosan.

Picture it. You program your horizontal machining center on Friday. You turn out the lights, lock up the shop and have yourself a great weekend. You return Monday morning with pallets upon pallets of precise, ready-to-ship parts.

That’s what you get with a Linear Pallet System from Doosan. A single LPS allows for up to 99 pallets and supplies up to 7 Doosan horizontal machining centers.

Want to know more? Talk to your local Doosan distributor and get ready to fire a couple acronyms at them: “I want an LPS for my HMC.” Learn more at DOOSANMACHINETOOLS.COM

Proudly representing Doosan Machine Tools for 23 years.
