Have you noticed a degradation or breakdown in your equipment post-COVID?
At several of our customer locations, we’ve noticed a unique problem since the start of the pandemic. In an effort to keep work areas sanitary, facilities have implemented more regular cleaning and sanitation on the line which often includes spraying sanitizing agents. The repeated application of harsh chemicals has resulted in equipment issues caused by rust, corrosion, or the hardening of grease. The effect is particularly true for torque tools and hand tools because they are handled so often and need to be cleaned more regularly. The impacts of sanitizers may be obvious on the outside of the tool. But the impact is happening on the inner workings of the tool as well, making the devices difficult to operate and measurement data unreliable. If you are concerned about this issue in your facility, contact our team today. We can help with preventive maintenance, repairs, and replacement.

GD&T
Your drawings have GD&T on them (or perhaps they are supposed to)! If you have attempted to work with GD&T and you lack the confidence to choose which geometric controls to apply or you have trouble interpreting existing specifications and reading the “language” of GD&T, this course is for you. The improper use of GD&T can be far more costly than not using it at all! This program is a complete introduction to the ASME Y14.5 Standard.
In this program we focus on the “What, When, Why and How” of GD&T. The main goal is to bring all participants to a common, basic and operational level of understanding. The course is a thorough introduction for those with a little, to a moderate, level of experience using GD&T. Complete GD&T training requires more than just a few days and a single class; however, this class is the first step in the journey to forming a solid foundation of GD&T knowledge from which a true grasp of GD&T principles (and the ability to properly apply and interpret the complex simplicity of the “language” of GD&T) will come.
If you’re interested in the course, as well as earning additional Continuing Education Units, please click on the button below to see the program outline, and additional details about the seminar. We hope to see you in Greenville in October!
