Our guest article this week, New Era In CNC Control & Maintenance, was written by Pete Bartelme and Dave Michalets of MachineMate, Inc. The article discusses the maintenance advantages of using PC-based technology for CNC control. You can link to the complete article from the Featured Article section below.
As indicated in last week's e-news, we are running a subscription referral promotion until the end of June. Refer five of your colleagues and enter a drawing for a $500 gift certificate. It does require a bit of networking on your behalf, but think of it as an opportunity to reconnect with some colleagues that you maybe haven't communicated with in a while. I'm guessing the chances of winning will be pretty good, but that depends on the number of people that participate. Read below for more details.
And, as usual, don't forget to review the News and Job Postings added to our site in the last week.
Well, since Memorial Day is next week and many people will be on vacation, I won't be publishing an e-newsletter. We will, however, continue to publish news and other content on the site. So, check back often for the latest developments. Look for the next e-news on June 9th.
On to the good stuff...Enjoy the rest of this e-news!
I was recently introduced to a Web site dedicated to the devices that measure temperature, www.temperatures.com. This site, along with it's companion sites, www.tempsensors.net and www.temperaturesensornews.com offer a wealth of news and information resources regarding temperature sensors and their application. These sites are unique, free internet information/education Web sites aimed directly at Engineers, Scientists, Technicians and Students. So, if you have an interest in temperature sensors, be sure to check out these sites.
It turns out that these site(s) selected Automationtechies.com for their "Hot Site" award as an outstanding Web resource site. Here's a link to the write-up regarding Automationtechies.com: http://www.tempsensor.net/displayarticle68.html.
For other links relating to temperature sensors, please refer to the following web page: http://www.temperatures.com/links.html.
In January, we introduced you to a new program that ISA was in the process of developing, the Certified Automation Professional (CAP) Program. The CAP website launched last week and includes many details about the CAP program that may be of interest to you. Visit www.isa.org/cap and you'll find the following information regarding CAP:
If you have any questions about CAP, please contact ISA at 919-549-8411 or info@isa.org.

New Era In CNC Control and Maintenance When Bob Smith, the first shift supervisor for the strut-machining department, arrives at his office Monday morning, one of his first tasks is checking emails. Not only does he want to see whether anyone in his building has sent something important to him, he also wants to see whether any of the machines in his department require attention. The introduction of PC-based CNC technology into factory automation has changed the CNC maintenance activities from those for previous CNC hardware generations. These new CNC controls are able to interact among themselves as well as with other PCs, such as the standard PC sitting on Bob's desk, to an extent not possible just a few years ago.
