Editors Corner
25 years ago, I was working for a start-up division at Motorola in Dallas, Texas. My daughter Alyssa would turn 9 , and son Alex would reach 6 years of age at year end. Just about 1000 miles away, Bill Lambert had started up a new magazine, the ‘Arizona Metalworker’. Today, we’re celebrating 25 years, one quarter of a century, since this magazine first launched. Bill had retired from the machine tool industry, in a sales position, and with a high energy level, made the decision to launch a magazine for precision manufacturing, targeted to Arizona.
Well, it has changed pretty substantially since the early days.Today, the magazines are called the ‘A2Z Manufacturing’ magazines (to represent a more comprehensive precision manufacturing industry), and we offer 3 regional editions, the legacy for the Southwest (Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico), the Rocky Mountain, introduced 10 years ago (Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, andWyoming), and theWest Coast, introduced 8 years ago for California, Oregon and Washington. What were we all doing 25 years ago, and what major events occurred a quarter of a century ago? Hmm. Let me think. No Google. No Netflix. No iPhone. In 1994: • The Internet got real, with the founding of bothYahoo and Amazon.We all know about Amazon and its founder, Jeff Bezos. But less well known is the origins ofYahoo. It was started at Stanford University, founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo, who were Electrical Engineering graduate students when they created a website named “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”. Not only could you chat to strangers thousands of miles way, but also buying books would never be the same again.

Autonomous Truck Tech Startup Raises $95 Million Series D Round, Expands In Tucson The San Diego-based self-driving semi-truck technology startup TuSimple Inc. closed on a $95 million Series D round to ramp up its Tucson office expansion and autonomous road testing in Arizona. With the funding round, TuSimple now has a pre-money valuation of $1 billion to include the company in the coveted unicorn status. A startup is considered a unicorn when it has a valuation of more than $1 billion. The $95 million round will help TuSimple towards its goal of hiring 500 people in Tucson, expand its commercial autonomous fleet technology and continue testing in the state, said Robert Brown,TuSimple’s director of public affairs.“This is a down payment towards that expansion,” Brown said. “This enables us to scale the way we want to scale.” TuSimple announced in September it was expanding itsTucson facility to 50,000 square feet and hiring up to 500 people. The plan is to grow its fleet to more than 50 trucks by June. TuSimple has 80 employees now in Tucson. It is hiring for mechanical engineers, safety and test engineers, test drivers, business development and other support staff. The company has developed an innovative camera-centric perception solution that allows TuSimple’s trucks to see 1,000 meters ahead of the vehicle, according to the company.

U.S. Factory Worker Productivity Rises; Shutdown Limits Picture Productivity of U.S. manufacturing workers rose in the final three months of 2018, but a broader measure of nonfarm business productivity was not reported due to the effects of the partial government shutdown. The productivity of manufacturing workers, measured as the output of goods for each hour on the job, increased at a 1.3% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the fourth quarter, the Labor Department said. That compared with a 1.1% productivity gain for factory workers in the third quarter. A more closely watched measure, productivity for workers at all nonfarm businesses, was not reported in the release. That is because the Labor Department needs output figures from the quarterly gross-domestic-product report to calculate productivity. Number crunchers at Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis, which produces the GDP figures, weren’t on the job for weeks when that report is typically compiled. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal projected overall productivity grew at a 1.6% rate in the fourth quarter and unit labor costs advanced 1.7%. Overall worker productivity has mostly grown at a sluggish rate in recent years. Through the third quarter, year-over-year productivity gains have held below 2% since late 2010, the longest such streak on records back to 1948. But productivity for nonfarm business workers increased at a better rate in the middle of last year, advancing at an 3% annual rate in the second quarter and a 2.2% pace in the third quarter, according to revised figures. From a year earlier, productivity rose 1.3% in the 3rd quarter. Source:Wall Street Journal

printing—affordability in production, speed in turnaround, ability to create and edit iterations without hiring or waiting on a middleman—the greatest gift is in being able to fabricate parts that simply were not possible before. For this project, the Ford engineering team was behind the creation of a complex geometry that took five days to make. Using aluminum as their material of choice (just one example of the wide range of materials available today offering extreme strength and durability for industrial endeavors), they created the largest 3D printed piece made from such a material for functional use in a vehicle. The intake manifold required a web like structure that could not have been manufactured with conventional techniques: “We are fortunate to have access to incredible technology, but this was one project that pushed us—and our computing power—to the absolute limit,” said Raphael Koch, an advanced materials and processes engineer at Ford of Europe. Historically, the technology and processes used in automobile manufacturing has been just as fascinating (if not more so) as the products themselves. That trend has never stopped, propelled even further today with the advent of 3D printing and additive manufacturing and its wide use in the auto industry; in fact, some cars are now being completely constructed along those lines. The aluminum 3D printed intake manifold Leading manufacturer s like Ford have been using 3D printing since its inception, mainly for prototyping, and long before the mainstream even had a clue about technology that would come along and rock the world not only with a major cool factor, but also allowing for infinite possibilities in creation never before imagined.

Automotive Manufacturing Leads the Way as Digital Factory Market Grows to US$673 Billion in 2030 The Digital Factory market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 33% to reach US$673 billion in 2026. According to a new report published by ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, these sales include the actual hardware revenues for entire industrial robots, collaborative robots, connected PLCs, intelligent industrial battery management systems, electric motors, pumps, tank management systems and smart glasses as well as data and analytics service revenues, device and app platform revenues, connection revenues, network service revenues, professional service revenues and security service revenues for all the above applications plus asset tracking and other equipment monitoring. Of these applications, only asset tracking includes connections both on and off the factory floor. “Currently, most manufacturing equipment still communicates in proprietary protocols and connecting it in a cost-efficient way without too much custom code often requires the expertise of IIoT integration specialists such as Telit or PTC Kepware,” said Pierce Owen, Principal Analyst at ABI Research. “For new factories, we have started to see how telcos and network infrastructure vendors can deploy private LTE, but so far, it only works if the plant owner has the negotiating power to demand cellular connected equipment from all its suppliers.

in factories.” The automotive industry leads the way in the adoption of most digital factory technology technologies and represents the largest opportunity globally with US$139 billion in digital factory revenues forecast for 2030, but this does vary somewhat country to country. For instance, by the end of 2022, digital factory revenues in electronics manufacturing will overtake those in the automotive industry in South Korea, the fifth largest Smart Manufacturing market. “The automotive industry has demonstrated a willingness to scale transformative technologies ranging from generative design and additive manufacturing to IIoT connectivity and robotics of all kinds more than any other industry, but other industries will start to catch up over the next decade. The companies that follow automotive OEMs’ lead first and scale technologies with proven value will gain a competitive advantage. Likewise, vendors that not only compete at the highest level in automotive but also continuously pursue new types of customers in other industries will build sustainable relationships and advantages across the sector,” Owen concluded. These findings are from ABI Research’s Digital Factory market data report.This report is part of the company’s Industrial Solution, which will help manufacturers digitize operations to create better quality products at lower costs.

Armed With Cash, Scottsdale Ammunition Manufacturer Makes Push Into Defense Industry Ammo Inc., a Scottsdale-based ammunition manufacturer, has raised millions of dollars from private investors over the past year that will help bolster its expansion into the defense munitions industry. The company, with corporate offices in Scottsdale and a manufacturing facility in Payson, raised about $10 million in equity financing in April 2018 and raised $1.71 million in debt financing earlier this month, according to multiple regulatory filings. The company is now out raising more equity financing, and has recently sold $194,000 of new $10 million equity offering, according to an SEC filing on Jan. 9. It has raised between $17 million and $20 million since it was founded in 2016, said Kathy Hanrahan, president of Ammo’s Global Tactical Defense Division. The most recent funding will be used to complete the acquisition of Wisconsin-based Jagemann Stamping Co., which serves multiple markets, including the ammunition casing and projectile sectors, Hanrahan said. Led by CEO Fred Wagenhals, Ammo is known for making ammunition products for the sporting industry, but it has recently made a push to capture a share of the lucrative market for defense munitions. The company said last August it would expand its product line and enter U.S. military channels. One month later it completed its acquisition of SW Kenetics, an Arizona-based research and development firm with a portfolio of modular projectiles primarily designed
for military use. “The vision for the CEO when he formed Ammo was to actually innovate the ammunitions industry through technology, and that’s what the company has been doing,” Hanrahan said. “It’s acquiring technology that gives us that edge.” Hanrahan previously held a number of executive positions at Taser International, now known as Axon Enterprise, including chief financial officer when the Scottsdale company went public in 2001. Axon is best known for its line of Taser weapons used by law enforcement. “In my time with Taser, we did an amazing job disrupting the industry,” Hanrahan said. “[Ammo] has the ability to do the same thing in the ammunition space. We have an innovative line of products that fills a need that’s been unanswered.” The defense industry is a major piece of Arizona’s economy.The Department of Defense doles out about $61 billion in contracts around the state on an annual basis.

His company reaches out to area students to tell the story of the current state of manufacturing – a high-tech industry that is innovative, well-paying and a great place to build a career. To demonstrate the benefits of a career in manufacturing and attract talent, Brose uses a three-year state created apprenticeship program. The program offers students both classroom and on-the-job training. It pays students for time spent working at a company and will cover tuition. The company began the program in 2013 and in 2015 had 30 apprentices. Currently, they have 75. Understanding the needs of the current and future workforce is important in designing apprenticeship programs. “As millennials value the opportunity to actively participate in a company’s mission, after each of the apprenticeships segments they present their work to management,” says Herwig.

career. A couple of years ago I met Ray, coowner of CNC PROS. Initially, we used Ray and company for machine maintenance and servicing. Their service was outstanding – both from their machine tool knowledge and from their amazing customer service. About a year and a half ago, we purchased our first machine from CNC PROS, a Kitamura Machinery Mycenter-2XD Sparkchanger. It is a compact, powerful, allin-one Vertical Machining Center designed for fast, accurate simultaneous 3-axis machining. Our latest acquisition from CNC PROS just arrived at the shop. This Kitamura Supercell-300G is a 5-Axis multi-pallet (20) Horizontal Machining Center for our production machining. It is our entrée into 5 axis machining. Application Engineering Manager Brian MacDonald, is here today, working with our programmer. The team at CNC PROS doesn’t sell you a machine; they sell you a solution, one that they will support you with throughout the life of the machine. They are committed to making their customers successful. There isn’t another machine dealer I’ve encountered who offers this level of support – CNC PROS is just so much better than others in the industry.” Jon, Machine Shop Manager a very useful asset if they opened a machine tool dealership. And so this happened. CNC PROS was launched 5 years ago, in January of 2014.
Cornel says, “We haven’t had to issue a credit yet.” Ray adds, “What other dealer can you go to where the owners have tools in the back of their trucks?” If a machine shop has purchased at least 1 machine from CNC PROS, they will service every machine in that shop, regardless of where or when it was purchased, Ray says. Ray and Cornel first met 20 years ago when they worked together in the service department for a dealer in Arizona.They became business owners and partners when they launched their service business 14 years ago. Ray says, “Our service business was successful, but it was totally driven by how many hours Cornel and I could work.” The two knew that their service capabilities on nearly any CNC machine could be A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

The two owners knew that if they were to open a machine tool dealership in a mature (and crowded) market, they would have to be different, be better, in so many ways. Cornel says, “We were the dark horse, a long shot in this industry.” Ray adds, “People wondered how two service guys could sell multi-pallet systems.” By all measures, it seems to be working. There are so many reasons why CNC PROS has grown more than 30% each year since they have been in business. As we go to print, CNC PROS is moving into its new facility. It is much larger than the building they occupied up until now – which was ~3000 square feet with a 1400 square foot
“I recently purchased my first machine from CNC PROS; it was an INDEX C200 production 3 turret turning machine. Prior to this machine tool purchase, I was using Ray and the CNC PROS team for scheduled maintenance on all my machines. Ray also introduced me to a tool monitoring system that we’re using now. The only thing I can say about the service at CNC PROS is, ‘it’s amazing!’ They have taken service to a new level - I don’t know how I will ever be pleased with anyone else’s service capabilities. It is, without doubt, the best service we have ever gotten. When we have an machine down, whether it’s evenings or weekends, the CNC PROS team does everything in their power to get us up and running again.” Frank, Machine Shop Owner
turn his part. We looked at the part and knew there was no way that he could make the part with a mill/turn process.We instead proposed a horizontal machine with multi-pallets.The customer purchased our solution and he says that his customer told him when he delivered the finished parts that they were the best ever made.” Ray says, “Our goal is to help our customers work smarter, not harder, and that means productivity is #1. Generally speaking, we advocate horizontal machining versus vertical machining. If a shop adds a 2 pallet horizontal machine versus a vertical machining center, for example, he will likely be 30% or more productive.” CNC PROS has, Ray and Cornel believe, some of the best machine tool lines in the industry. They include:
Kitamura - For over 85 years, Kitamura Machinery has
created innovative machining centers that meet the strictest demands of manufacturers worldwide. By combining the best practices from decades of hands-on experience, extreme personal attention to detail and the latest technology advances, Kitamura Machinery has created a line of some of the best horizontal, vertical and 5-axis machining centers that provide customers with improved productivity through easy adaptability, reductions in defects, and accurate, reliable long-term performance.
Months ago, Kitamura invited a select 5 dealers in the United States to an Executive Dealer meeting. CNC PROS was invited to attend, and Cornel says, “We were the newest dealer at the meeting, with only 3 years carrying Kitamura’s line.” He continued, “It was an honor to have been invited to participate in this forum.”
GROB - GROB Systems, Inc. in Bluffton, OH, a subsidiary
showroom. Ray says, “Our new building, centrally located in downtown Phoenix, is 6800 square feet with a 4700 square foot showroom. We expanded our building substantially because it will take on a new role: it will be the Regional Tech Center for our machine tool partners.” He continued, “Now dealers throughout the Southwest and West Coast don’t have to take their customers back East to see a machine – they can come to CNC PROS.” CNC PROS Regional Tech Center will house some of the most advanced technologies available, with a focus on Advanced Manufacturing. Ray says, “We don’t believe the future of manufacturing is in rows of standard 3 axis machines.” Cornel added, “When we meet with customers, we don’t take the approach of focusing on specifically what they say they need. We look at their business and examine how we can help them build parts faster and less expensively. In the end, we want our customers to take a part from start to finish with just one touch.” Cornel shares a story about a recent sale to a customer. “He had a proposal in his hand from another machine too dealer for a machine that would mill/
of the German company Grob-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, builds universal (5 axis) machining centers that are like no other.The retractable spindle and swivel-rotary table provide unmatched accessibility to the work piece. They are easy to install and maintain and provide outstanding performance in high-precision industries like automotive, medical, aerospace, mold & die.
As stand-alone units, they are ergonomically designed for shops with small-to-medium production volumes requiring manual part exchanges. If you need high-volume or lightsout production, GROB provides automatic pallet-changers, automation systems, and expanded tool magazines. Ray says, “We added the GROB machining line to our portfolio at CNC PROS specifically for our customers who need a superior machine with a larger envelope for their parts.”

“We recently purchased 3 Kitamura Horizontal ultra compact horizontal machining centers (each with 10 pallet changers) from CNC PROS. The Kitamura HXG-Series Mycenter-HX250i machines are superior machines for our high speed, quick processing needs. With the Kitamura horizontal machines, we bought them equipped with High Pressure Coolant from CoolJet Systems, which increases throughput, reduces process cycle times, improves surface finishes, improves chip control, reduces the number of processes and increases tool life.” He continued, “Prior to purchasing the Kitamuras from CNC PROS, we purchased a Samsung MCV50 vertical machining Center from them. Not only do we get great machines from CNC PROS, we get outstanding service. I give them an A+ for their service capabilities. If I have a machine down and I call them on a Friday at midnight, or on Xmas eve, they will take my call and help me to get my machine back up and running. Their Application Engineering Manager Brian MacDonald is incredible, knowledgeable and so helpful. I would rather deal with CNC PROS for our machine purchases and service than anyone out there.” George, Engineering Manager
TRAUB brands (the 2 companies became 1 more than 20 years ago), the company offers the largest program for complete machining of turned parts, both for series and single-item production. Cornel says that through the INDEX TRAUB brand, CNC PROS has solutions for gearing, grinding and high-speed whirling requirements.
ProtoTRAK - Since 1963, Southwestern Industries, Inc. (SWI) developed and manufactured a conversational language CNC for knee mills in the early 1980’s under the brand name ProtoTRAK.
SWI has expanded its product lines to include machines that address the inefficiencies associated with high-mix, low-volume type work. These products consist of the TRAK LPM Vertical Machining Center and TRAK 2OP Portable Vertical Machining Center. Cornel says, “We added the SWI ProtoTRAK line because they make a great product for every shops that has a prototype division or a tool room.”

a team of 8, no wait, now its 10. Just as we go to print, Ray is pleased to announce, “As CNC PROS continues to invest in the Arizona market, we have added 2 more direct support team members, one who will join our Service team and the other who will join our Engineering team. These additions will only enhance the commitment CNC PROS has to our partners who invest with our technology and our team.” Ray continued, “Our average age is 36 years, which means we have a mixture of experienced people coupled with some very young talent, millennials, who are new to machinery but well versed in technology.” Cornel adds , “We have an average of 14.5 years of experience in the machine tool industry.” It is perhaps this youthful talent coupled with highly knowledgeable owners that has helped establish the company’s direction in Advanced Manufacturing.” There is something special about the synergy these two owners share. Cornel says, “In our 20 years of working together and 3/4 of these as business partners, we have never had a major disagreement. We both have faith in God, and when you do right by God, what is there to fight about? We share a mutual respect, integrity and faith.”

commercial service robotics, IDC. “Slowdown?” Santagate replied. “What slowdown?”Okay, maybe for certain industries, such as auto making, continued sluggishness could be coming down the line, he conceded. “But we expect to see demand for robotics overall to grow around 20% each year for the next 5 years,” Santagate said. He and other experts in the space say that even if U.S.-Chinese trade tensions escalate, there likely will not be a reduction in demand for robotic arms, as well as for end effectors, or specialized tools, that are paired with the arm; think hands, or, rather, talons. Of course, a malaise in automotive manufacturing inherently can’t be couched as anything but potentially troublesome for robotics, as the auto industry is the largest buyer of industrial robots. However, even as there was an ebb in robot sales to automakers, other industries experienced significant increases in orders. Nonautomotive industries cumulatively experienced more than 20% growth in orders during the first three quarters of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, Santagate said.
Industrial Robotic Arms Race Leaves Experts Asking ‘What Manufacturing Slowdown?’ New Year’s Day hangovers were still being nursed when analysts around the world, spotting declines in various industrial activity indexes, blew their noisemakers: The U.S.-China trade spat was causing a global manufacturing slowdown. But it turns out there’s at least one corner of manufacturing that seems to be on the upswing, and on a pace, even amidst trade tensions, to experience a spurt during the next few years: industrial robotic arms. Analysts at industry research firm IDC recently forecast that the total market for robotics spending will reach nearly $120 billion in 2019, an 18% increase over last year’s spending. By 2022, the size of the robotics market – robots, drones, and all related technology and services – will total $210 billion. Around half of that will be in manufacturing, said John Santagate, research director of A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

This past fall, the International Federation of Robotics released its annual World Robotics Report that examined global sales of robotic ar ms using 2017 data. Some 381,000 “units” worth $16 billion shipped in 2017, an increase of 30 percent. “Industrial robots are a crucial part of the progress of manufacturing industry,” Junji Tsuda, President of the International Federation of Robotics, said. Robots within manufacturing are evolving as more types of cutting-edge technologies rise to the fore. These technologies include skill lear ning, failure prediction utilizing AI and the burgeoning realm of man-machine-
collaborations, Tsuda said. By 2021, the annual number of robots being supplied to factories around the world will reach about 630,000 units, the IFR said. A closer look at one particularly massive sub-sector of robotic arms – we’re talking Full Metal Popeye, or what’s known as the heavy payload market – reveals further positivity.The size of the heavyweight sector alone is expected to reach $14 billion by 2025, up from around $10 billion as of 2017, according to Allied Market Research. Despite all of this anticipated positivity for the robotics sector, there rightfully remains palpable consternation among humans employed in manufacturing. Robotics evangelists emphasize that the rise of machines is not to be feared – that it’s merely an extension of a centuries-old rolling arc of innovation that impacts, ultimately, job descriptions more than net total of jobs available for humans. But even the pro-robot champions admit that not all assembly line workers can be re-assigned. Add to this picture the possibility of a protracted, perhaps worsening, trade spat, as well as a continued drip feed of negative manufacturing activity statistics – the latest U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) reading (December’s), for example, revealed the weakest pace of expansion in the manufacturing sector in 14 months – and it’s not easy to feel super psyched if you are made of flesh and bones, and work in a factory.
“We are really seeing a global [manufacturing] slowdown into this year,” Irene Cheung, an ANZ Asia strategist told Reuters on January 1. In Asia, particularly, export-oriented countries are hurting. Asia is most firmly in the grippers of automation. This is especially true for China. As a manufacturing juggernaut, China represents the largest market in terms of industrial robotic arms sold and purchased. But there’s another motion being sensed here: decades of strict population control measures have reduced China’s available workforce, leaving it even more reliant on machines. According to IFR, five major markets comprised roughly three-fourths of total robotic arm sales in 2017: China, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. and Germany. China, which has the strongest demand, enjoys the largest market share, producing 36 percent of the total supply in 2017. With sales of about 138,000 industrial robots (2016-2017, up 59%) China´s sales volume surpassed the total sales volume of Europe and the Americas combined. Foreign robot suppliers increased their sales in China by 72%, up to 103,200 units. This includes robots produced locally by international suppliers in China. This is the first time that foreign robot suppliers have a higher growth rate than the local manufacturers, the IFR said. Chinese robot suppliers, meanwhile, saw their market share decrease, from 31 percent in 2016 to 25 percent in 2017.

Using machine learning to ensure that the pieces of an aircraft fit together more precisely -- thus cutting assembling and testing time-- is one of the users behind new technology being developed by researchers at Purdue University and the University of Southern California. “We’re really taking a giant leap and working on the future of manufacturing,” said Arman Sabbaghi, an assistant professor of statistics in Purdue’s College of Science, who led the research team at Purdue with support from the National Science Foundation. “We have developed automated mac hine lear ning technology to help improve additive manufacturing.This kind of innovation is heading on the path to essentially allowing anyone to be a manufacturer.” The technology addresses a current significant challenge within additive manufacturing: individual parts that are produced need to have a high degree of precision and reproducibility. The technology allows a user to run the software component locally within their current network, exposing an API, or programming interface. The software uses machine learning to analyze the product data and create plans to manufacture the needed pieces with greater accuracy. “This has applications for many

WWW.MULTITOOL-USA.COM industries, such as aerospace, where exact geometric dimensions are crucial to ensure reliability and safety,” Sabbaghi said. The researchers have developed a new model-building algorithm and computer application for geometric accuracy control in additive manufacturing systems. “We use machine learning technology to quickly correct computer-aided design models and produce parts with improved geometric accuracy,” Sabbaghi said. The improved accuracy ensures that the produced parts are within the needed tolerances and that every part produced is consistent and will perform that same way, whether it was created on a different machine or 12 months later. Sabbaghi said the Purdue technology also allows users to create complex designs that would not be possible with traditional manufacturing processes. Their work aligns with Purdue’s Giant Leaps celebration as part of Purdue’s 150th anniversary.The researchers are working with the Purdue Office of Technology Commercialization to patent the innovation, and they are looking for partners to continue developing it.

“They eat when they want, lie down when they want and feed when they want,” Grady said. “And a happier cow produces more milk and better milk.” It takes a week or two for the cows to get accustomed to the robotic milkers and the built-in incentives, said Rodney Rankin, who leads the dairy operations.The milking stations have vanilla-flavored feed pellets, but a cow cannot just come back repeatedly for the treats. Sensors and a scale — a cow’s weight can vary by up to 75 pounds in a day — prevent cows without reasonably full udders from getting in. Robotic milkers have been available for years. But the technology has steadily improved, requiring far less human assistance than a few years ago. The machines cost about $200,000 each. Without them, and an automated feeding system, the milking barn at Rivendale would require five workers instead of being mainly overseen by one, Grady said.

company and a leader in the industry. In some European countries, up to 30 percent of the cows are milked by machine, while in the United States the share is about 2 percent, estimates Mathew Haan, a dairy technology expert at Pennsylvania State University’s agriculture extension program. The gap, Haan said, is largely explained by more generous programs that support milk prices as well as higher labor costs than in America.These two factors have encouraged investment in automation in Europe. In the United States, even large-herd producers with thousands of cows in California, which have been labor-intensive operations, are beginning to try robotic milking machines. That is driven partly by changing immigration policies that may create a shortage of farmworkers. But to date, the main market has been smaller operations with 120 to 240 milking cows, said Steve Fried, Lely’s North American sales manager. George Kantor, a senior systems scientist at Carnegie Mellon’s robotics institute, is leading the effort at Rivendale to develop “scouting robots” to identify disease and weeds in the vegetable field, and then send smartphone alerts if there is a problem.

Leadership Lesson: Want Big Results? Make Compounded Little Decisions Daily Big choices. Big successes. That is what we want. And it is not often that we achieve it. Most successes are based upon many small choices made every day across time. Something like the financial “miracle” of

compounded interest. When we focus on infrequent big decisions, we are looking for the “on big hit.” Remember the baseball analogy: most ball games are won on single hits, rather than doubles, singles, and (especially) home runs. We want big at the risk of failure. The truth. “Small, daily elevations compound into massive results over time.” – Robin S. Sharma, Canadian lawyer, author, teacher As leaders and managers, we face decisions every day. Mostly small. But we tend to address the “big” ones. Careful with the word “big.” Does “big” mean important, high impact, critical, urgent, first in the queue, or something else? OK, so there are one or more high-impact decisions to make “today.” Really, what if those decisions can be made later? Versus what is the list of smaller decisions to be made today? Make any necessary big decisions now, and then get to the smaller decisions for today. This is tantamount to making a batch of small deposits in our interestbearing “Success Account.”These earn compound interest in the sense of creating an ever-increasing “home run.”A satisfying game. Popcorn, please. You have a list of small decisions to make today. Rather than treating all of them equally, why not prioritize them? Which ones are more likely to contribute to a positive, long-term effect?Which decisions must be made today? Can another member of your team make the decision? Or, is it a decision that really needs to be made – or made today?
Don’t ignore small decisions – make many of them. Include both a short and long term view. Make small decisions quickly. Daily. Where do small decision opportunities come from? Here are a few: • Suggestion box – the older wooden box on the wall has been replaced with online versions. Promote this to your organization and look for some good small decision possibilities. • Customers – existing customers, new customers, and prospective customers become providers of small decision to be made. Them for suggestions. •Vendors – when they know your business well enough, they will have ideas that small decisions can accommodate. •Staff member – directly one-on-one or in a staff meeting, suggestions will emerge where an easy decision can be made immediately. • Competitor – observing others in the industry offers opportunities to Remember that small-decision suggestions can be about people, products, processes, places. Anything. On April 1, 1975, Steve Jobs made a simple decision to build a hobbyist computer kit in his family garage. Today, Apple Inc. is the most valuable public company in the world. Small decision, big result. Simple. Many easy decisions compounded together over time can equal a big decision. Daily, make small, quick decisions that matter. Find ideas for easy decisions from employees, vendors, customers. And, yes, competitors. Small deposits, big account.By Tom Zender A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

As US Payrolls Rise 312,000, Manufacturing Adds Most Jobs in a Year U.S. employers added the most workers in 10 months as wage gains accelerated and labor-force participation jumped, reflecting a robust job market that nevertheless faces mounting risks in 2019. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 312,000 in December, easily topping all forecasts, after an upwardly revised 176,000 gain the prior month, a Labor Department report showed. Average hourly earnings rose 3.2% from a year earlier, more than projected and matching the fastest pace since 2009. Meanwhile, the jobless rate rose from a five-decade low to 3.9%, reflecting more people actively seeking work. The dollar surged, U.S. stock futures remained higher and Treasuries tumbled following the strong report. Hiring and wage increases will support consumer spending and offer some respite after a spate of weak economic data and cuts in corporate revenue forecasts fueled stock-market jitters. Still, it may be hard to replicate such labor-market gains in 2019 amid the U.S.-China tariff war, softening manufacturing, a housing slowdown and a projected cooling in global growth. From the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: Manufacturing added 32,000 jobs in December. Most of the gain occurred in the durable goods component (+19,000). Manufacturing employment increased by 284,000 over the year, with about three-fourths of the gain in durable goods industries. Manufacturing had added 207,000 jobs in 2017. The figures brought the 2018 payrolls gain to 2.64 million, up from 2.19 million in 2017. Economists have expected the pace of gains to ease this year, consistent with their forecasts that gross domestic product growth will moderate amid the trade war and a fading boost from the Trump administration’s tax cuts. Even so, President DonaldTrump is likely to cheer the results as evidence that his policies are still boosting the economy, rather than dragging it down. What Our Economists Say This is the strongest employment report of this economic cycle -- hands down. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

While we’ve seen greater job gains in some months, the plus300,000 number along with another increase in average hourly earnings clearly signals that the economic expansion ended 2018 on strong footing. Perhaps most surprising was the two-tenths rise in the unemployment rate due to an increase in participation. It’s one month of data, but talk of the Fed cutting rates in the near future should be off the table for now. -- Tim Mahedy, Bloomberg Economics The labor strength spanned most industries, including the biggest gain in construction since February, and the most manufacturing jobs added in a year. Private service providers boosted payrolls by 227,000, the most in more than a year, amid gains in education and health services, leisure and hospitality, and retail. While the unemployment rate increased to a five-month high, it may not be much of a concern because the participation rate rose to 63.1% -- the highest since September 2017 -- from 62.9%. The jobless rate remains well below the level that central bankers consider sustainable in the long run. Average hourly earnings for all private workers rose 0.4% from the prior month following a 0.2% gain, the report showed. The annual increase followed a 3.1% advance. Another measure, average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers, increased 3.3% from a year earlier. While worker pay has risen very gradually during most of the economic expansion, companies have been competing more vigorously in recent months to attract and retain workers. Private payrolls rose by 301,000, well above the median estimate of 185,000. Government payrolls increased by 11,000. The employment-population ratio, another broad gauge of labormarket health, was unchanged at 60.6%. The average workweek increased to 34.5 hours from 34.4 hours in the prior month; a shorter workweek has the effect of boosting average hourly pay. The U-6, or underemployment rate, was
unchanged at 7.6 percent.This measure includes part-time workers who want a full-time job and people who are less active in seeking work. In annual revisions to data based on the household survey, the unemployment rate for October was increased to 3.8% from 3.7%. Labor Department economic releases are proceeding as scheduled, as the agency isn’t part of the partial federal- government shutdown. By Shobhana Chandra, Bloomberg
Rail Network To Pump Millions Into New Mexico In 2019 A segment of central New Mexico’s rail service is set to get a multimillion-dollar investment. Texas-based BNSF Railway released its 2019 capital program for New Mexico on Wednesday, which calls for $80 million to be pumped into the state. The investment will include more than 850 miles of track surfacing, the replacement of about 20 miles of rail and laying roughly 200,000 railroad ties. BNSF will emphasize the Southern Transcon rail line, which runs from Chicago to Southern California and passes through central New Mexico. BNSF will add a fourth track on the Clovis Subdivision in Belen. Joe Sloan, director of public affairs for BNSF, said extending the track in Belen was essential for the volume of train cars that runs through the subdivision, which can range from 80 to 100 cars a day. “The Southern Transcon is the primary route for BNSF’s intermodal franchise. Building upon our investments totaling more than $1 billion in 2018 on the route, the extension of the quadruple track in Belen highlights our commitment to provide a safe, efficient and reliable network to our customers,”
said Keary Walls, general manager of operations for BNSF’s Southwest Division, in a statement. Sloan said there isn’t a specific timeline for adding the fourth track as it will be worked on throughout 2019. The city of Albuquerque noted over the summer that it needs to use its transportation infrastructure better in order to bolster the local economy. Randy Trask, president of the New Mexico Trade Alliance, pointed out the BNSF railway as an advantage the city could use. The rail network has invested about $555 million in the state over the past five years, according to a news release. In total, BNSF plans to invest $3.57 billion in its 2019 capital plan. Of the total investment, $2.47 billion is set to replace and maintain core network, $760 million is planned for expansion and efficiency projects and about $340 million for freight cars and other acquisitions.

Meet the M1A2C Abrams: The U.S. Army’s New Tank The U.S. Army has revealed its newest tank.The new M1A2C Abrams boasts new active and passive protection that could help to protect it from the latest enemy weaponry. The photo depicts one of the new fighting vehicles at the Army’sYuma Proving Ground in Arizona.The most obvious new features of the M1A2C that are evident in the photo are the vehicle’s Trophy active protection systems and an additional slab of armor on the front of its turret. Trophy uses a radar to detect incoming missiles and rockets then fires tiny projectiles to intercept the munitions. The Army also is back-fitting Trophy to some older M1 models. The M1A2C is the latest variant of Abrams to enter production. Congress gave the Army $1.5 billion to buy 135 M-1s from General Dynamics in 2019, extending a program that began in the 1970s. The first M1 entered service with the Army in 1980. The original M1 packed a 105-millimeter gun. The Army bought 3,300 of them. In 1984 the Army added thicker armor to a batch of new M-1s and called these 900 tanks M1IPs. The U.S. military no longer uses these early M1s. A major upgrade in 1986 added a new 120-millimeter gun.This is the M1A1.The Army and Marines bought 5,200 copies through 1992. Roughly a thousand M1A1s still are in service with the Marines A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

There are a bewildering number of subvariants of the M1A1, each boasting incremental improvements in drive-train, armor and electronics. The latest upgrade, the M1A1SA, has a factory-fresh engine, digital electronics and a top-secret armor blend that includes a thin layer of uranium. The Army plans to retire all M1A1SAs by 2025. The M1A2 appeared in 1992. It’s pretty much a new tank, with better armor than the basic M1A1 plus a new internal layout and fresh sensors that together allow the gunner and the commander independently to search for targets. The Army has acquired around 1,500 M1A2s and converted most of them to the System Enhancement Package Version 2 standard. The M1A2SEPv.2, which General Dynamics describes as a “digital tank,” features high-end computers, a remotely-operated machine gun on the turret and a dozen batteries that allow the tank quietly to operate its sensors without turning on its engine. “The Abrams M1A2C can host any mature technology the Army deems operationally relevant,” the Army stated. The latest version of the M1 arguably is the best tank in the world. For now.“We rushed with the Type 99A too close to the frontline, which did not optimize the use of the tank’s combat capability,” CCTV quoted Xu Chengbiao, a battalion commander. “We only studied the capabilities of older tanks, but have not completely understood new ones,” Zhao Jianxin, another battalion commander, reportedly told CCTV. Anticipating the day when Russia resumes modernizing its tank corps and China figures out how to use its own new fighting vehicles, the U.S. Army already is planning a new M1 variant to follow the M1A2C. The “cornerstone technology” of the M1A2D is a new infrared sensor, according to the Army. The newest Abrams will also sport a new laser range-finder and will be compatible with artificial intelligence that could make the tank more autonomous, the Army stated. Source: David Axe

MAKstride is best introduced through the credentials of its founder Dr. Monty Moshier — they are just that impressive. Here are some notables: • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME), California Polytechnic University. • Masters in Science, Virginia Tech University. • Doctorate in Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University. • Assistant Professor Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona. • Inventor of theTREKK line of prosthetics and recipient of 2 patents. When you send your parts to MAKstride you literally get the expertise that comes from a gifted engineer, teacher, and inventor. The precision machine shop offers a wide variety of services, including: 1) Waterjet cutting 2) CNC machining (mill, lathe, 5-axis) 3) In-house material testing 4) Assembly 5) Design of new products for manufacturability through Monty’s Engineering Design Company They can machine a range of materials including, carbon fiber composites, fiberglass, glass, and metals (including exotic metals). MAKstride was founded by Dr. Monty Moshier. He first became interested in prosthetics at age 11 when his father lost his leg below the knee in a lumber milling accident. While Moshier was earning his doctorate in mechanical engineering from Purdue University, his father’s prosthetist asked for help with a new prosthetic foot he was developing. He began consulting A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

on prosthetic design and manufacturing and in 2006 he launched his own company, MAKstride manufacturing. The company was born in the Moshier’s garage in Saint George, Utah. MAKstride prosthetic feet are fabricated from lightweight, high strength materials using precision machining, casting, laminating, and molding processes. The unique design lets users feel more connected to the ground they walk on due to the absence of the compression heel and the reversed calf shank. Together they provide a more natural experience for the amputees. Five years ago Monty received an offer to teach Solid Mechanics as a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ, and once he accepted the position, he moved his family and the business from Saint George, Utah, to Prescott Arizona. Monty says, “Over the past decade we have expanded our business with some machine tool purchases. These purchases include a number of Haas machines, a couple of waterjets, some material (stress) testing equipment, and inspection equipment (a Mitutoyo CMM). These purchases have allowed us to have the capacity, to begin offering precision machining to a number of customers, many in the aerospace, robotics, and other industries.” The company also achieved ISO 9001 certification and they are in the process of certifying to AS9100 which will coincide with their completed implementation of their new ERP software suite. Chris Hansen, Sales Engineer for Ellison Machinery, supports MAKstride. Chris says that he first met Monty when he knocked on the door of the company in Prescott. Chris says, “Monty told me I didn’t need to call on him, as the company purchased only used Haas machines.” Chris wasn’t put off by the owner’s ‘recommendation’, and continued to stop by the shop to talk with the machinists. “They were familiar with our company”, Chris elaborates,
our business with new customers in the aerospace, defense and medical industries, I would need to go a step further in our equipment with the addition of 5 axis machining.” Monty was very pleased with the Haas machines he had purchased over the course of his business. “Haas machines, made in the USA, are very good machines. When you take good care of them, they just keep working.” He continued, “We just made a part for an aerospace customer on one of our older Haas machines (circa 1994). We regularly cut titanium and carbon on our Haas machines.”
“because they have used our Service Depar tment for spare parts and nonroutine maintenance.” Chris says that he is so impressed with MAKstride’s capabilities to do most repairs and maintenance on their older Haas machines, as well as their ability to make outstanding, difficult parts, even when all they have had was older machine tools. Monty admits, “We love the Haas machine tools — they are exceptional for cost, value and performance.” In late 2017 Chris contacted MAKstride with a great deal. He says, “I had been talking for months with GarrettWeaver (Production Manager and Lead Machinist) about MAKstride’s requirements and ‘areas of improvement’ with their current machines.When a customer had to postpone an order for their Haas ST-15Y lathe with live tooling, this put it into our inventory and I knew this was an excellent machine addition for MAKstride’s business. Things worked out and the company purchased their first new Hass machine, the Haas ST15Y with live tooling.” Chris says, “The Haas ST Series high-performance turning centers were designed to provide setup flexibility, extreme rigidity and high thermal stability.The ST-15 is an extra-small footprint, big-bore lathe that provides a generous work envelope. It is ideal for high-volume, high-production environments.” Garrett says, “We were outsourcing ‘pyramids’ we need for the TREKK prosthetics to a company in China because we couldn’t make them cost effectively. Once we had the Haas ST-15Y with live tooling, we were able to bring the pyramids back in house and we’re manufacturing them for just about the same price we were paying the Chinese company. Today we have the benefit of competitively priced pyramids done in house and instead of a 12 week turnaround we can manufacture them as needed and we control the quality.” Monty made the decision to purchase his first new CNC machine when he bought the Haas ST-15Y.This gave him the opportunity to see the immediate productivity gains a new machine offers compared to older machines. Monty says, “I knew that if I wanted to grow
There was no question about whom MAKstride would procure their 5 axis machining center from. Monty says, “We’ve been using Ellison Machinery for parts and service since we moved to Prescott 5 years ago. Their service is absolutely amazing - hands down they offer the best service we’ve ever had from a machine tool distributor. It’s like night and day.” Monty continued, “Last September, we made the decision to purchase the Haas 5 axis trunnion on a VF-4.” MAKstride purchased used Haas machines for their first years in business. Monty says, “When we were a young company, we could only afford used machines. The new machines have such great features, and so many opportunities for productivity improvements - we’ll buy new going forward whenever possible.” Garrett says, “Our 5 axis capabilities with our Haas VF-4 now means we can bid on work we couldn’t previously bid on.We are using it for parts that are 3+2 with compound angles and in general for parts where position accuracy is difficult.We are also using it on a part we did on our 3 axis Haas machine. It used to take 10 operations and today we are doing it in 2 operations.” Garrett has machined parts on a variety of machines over the course of his years in precision machining and he admits, “I’ve always liked the Haas machines.” Monty says, “We make our own molds for our prosthetic feet. We will be starting a new mold for our next product line. We will make the new mold preforming one operation using our new 5 axis Haas machine.” He continued, “We purchased the tool pre-setter for our Haas VF-4 and we’ll never buy a machine without one.” Chris elaborates, “Through automatic tool probing you can easily offset a new tool and also can check for excessive tool wear.” MAKstride is an exceptional precision machine shop with a superior team. Today two of Monty’s sons, Konner and Kameron, along with about a dozen employees, support MAKstride’s customers throughout the USA.

Pinal County Buys Land For Lease, Eventual Sale To Electric-Car Maker Pinal County purchased 500 acres of land in Casa Grande to be leased and eventually sold to Lucid Motors Inc., which plans to create a $700 million production facility on the site. The Arizona plant’s focus will be on the Lucid Air, an all-electric luxury sedan the company claims has a 400-mile range and top speed of 200 mph. The county stepped in to help the deal by consolidating the land under one ownership that eventually would be sold to Lucid, Pinal County Manager Greg Stanley said.The county closed on the land at the end of 2018, spending $29.94 million through the issuance of bonds. As part of the agreement, Lucid will pay $1.8 million per year in rent for the first four years of the agreement, and will buy the land in the fifth year, Stanley said. The county will break even on the deal. Lucid eventually plans to employ 2,300 people at the site, which is expected to begin construction in the second quarter of this year. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Lucid is required to keep funds in an account that, if the plant does not come to fruition, will be used by the county to complete infrastructure improvements on the site to make it a shovel-ready industrial park. Most of the land was owned by Scottsdale-based Saint Holdings before being purchased by the county. Kirk McCarville of Land Advisors brokered a deal for 80 acres from a separate seller of adjacent land, which was purchased by the county as part of the 500-acre total purchase. Saint Holdings is owner and developer of the Central Arizona Commerce Park, which contains the Lucid land. “We have quite a bit of interest in the northern parcels,” said Jackob Andersen, president and CEO of Saint Holdings of the Central Arizona Commerce Park, which is also part of an opportunity zone. “We are open for business on the neighboring sites, we hope the others will get auxiliary uses.” Saint Holdings also owns and is developer of the Inland Port of Arizona in Coolidge, where Nikola Motor Co. plans to build a manufacturing plant. Nikola plans to manufacture its hydrogenelectric semi-trucks at the facility. Andersen said he sees a good opportunity for Arizona to become a manufacturing hub for high-tech alternative fuel or autonomous vehicles. By Corina Vanek – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal

Business Tax Deduction Has—CPAs TakeSmall Note, Small Business Owners Loan Their Heads Approval Scratching Rates Are High Millions of small business owners will be in uncharted waters this tax season as they try to determine if they qualify for a deduction that could exempt one-fifth of their income from taxes. Five months after the IRS issued guidelines to help business owners and tax advisers understand how the complex deduction works, accountants and tax attorneys still have questions. Even those who have attended seminars and workshops about the new law have come away scratching their heads, especially about a section that bars service providers like doctors, lawyers and consultants from claiming the deduction. Some of these company owners have businesses that don’t easily fit into the IRS guidelines or proposed regulations the agency has also issued.

There might be some unpleasant surprises when owners in such situations get to their CPA’s offices.The new law requires separate records for the different types of work. “They might find their books may not be in good shape for tax reform — they may not show the data CPAs will need to know,” Dotson says. In that case, either the owner has to go back and change the books, or pay extra to have their tax advisers do the work. Owners who have more than one business with employees may be able to aggregate, or combine the qualified business income of the companies, and lower the impact of W-2 wages on the deduction, says Miguel Farra, a CPA and tax attorney with MBAF in Miami. But the businesses must be in a related industry. “If you are a real estate developer and somebody that owns real estate as investment property, you probably can aggregate,” Farra says. But someone who owns a cleaning service and an auto servicing shop wouldn’t be able to aggregate their income. QUESTIONS AWAITING ANSWERS The guidelines the IRS issued in August aren’t set in stone although the agency said taxpayers could rely on them in compiling their 2018 returns. The agency has issued proposed regulations, and tax professionals have already asked the IRS to clarify a number of issues, including which service providers can claim the deduction. For example, the NewYork State Bar Association, which asked the IRS for multiple clarifications, said many taxpayers, including those who and rent a small number of real estate properties, may be uncertain about whether the deduction applies to them. Many of Ed Reitmeyer’s clients don’t like to get extensions of the filing deadlines for the returns. But the uncertainty about the new law is a good reason to get an extra six months to complete and submit returns, he says. “It may be wise to do so with more clarity

The Fastest-Growing Jobs– 2018 Edition
GET PAID CASH FOR SCRAP METAL
In March 2018, the unemployment rate was a low 4.1%, with about 6.6 million Americans unemployed. This is good news for job seekers, as it’s the lowest U.S. unemployment has been since 2000. Different types of jobs are available in different parts of the country, and it can be immensely valuable for workers today to get ahead of tomorrow’s employment trends. It can mean the difference between a secure retirement and a working retirement.
We purchase all types of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals.
In order to take a look at this issue we looked at employment trends to find the fastest-growing job in every state. We looked at the 5-year percent change in people employed in every occupation that the Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks from 2013 – 2017. Check out our data and methodology below to see where we got our data and how we created our final rankings. The fastest-growing occupations in nine states – Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota, Alabama,Tennessee, Indiana,Virginia,Washington and Vermont – were production occupations.The most impressive growth and occupation combination was Arizona and metal and plastic machine tool setters. In 2013, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there were only 210 people working in this occupation in Arizona. By 2017, there were 1,560. That’s a percent increase of 642%. STEM jobs tend to be some of the most in demand thanks to their high pay. However STEM jobs are the fastest-growing occupation in only two states – South Dakota and Delaware. The fastest-growing job in South Dakota is systems software developer and in Delaware it is operations research analysts. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Israeli Self-Driving Tech Startup Opens U.S. Headquarters In Tempe Imagry Inc., an Israeli autonomous driving technology startup, has quietly opened its U.S. headquarters in Tempe with plans to start a local pilot test in the fall. Imagry was lured to the Valley because of the autonomous test driving environment and regulations in the state, said company CEO and cofounder Adham Ghazali.“We like the innovative environment in the Valley for autonomous technology,” Ghazali told the Phoenix Business Journal. “We also like the access to great talent.” The Phoenix area has been home to a handful of autonomous vehicle companies testing technology onValley roads. Uber Technologies Inc. is the only company that pulled out of the Valley after a pedestrian was hit and killed last year by one of its self-driving vehicles. Imagry Inc. opened an office in Scottsdale last year and subsequently moved toTempe in December to be close to the Arizona State University campus. Starting in October, Imagry will launch a self-driving robotaxi pilot program with an undisclosed ride-hailing company to pick up students around ASU’s Tempe campus, Ghazali said. Imagry is funded by a $10 million seed round raised through venture capital and government grants from 2017. The company was founded in 2015, Ghazali said. The company’s autonomous vehicle technology uses vision-based, realtime mapping software to identify the road, route, vehicles, obstructions and presence of pedestrians without requiring an online connection or GPS. GMA GARNET GROUP
“Our technology learns how to drive in an unknown environment, which is what we as humans do,” Ghazali said. “We don’t need a map to drive, just basic knowledge to drive. This allows us to scale much faster.” Imagry does its simulator software training at its Tempe office.

The majority of autonomous driving technology uses high-definition mapping and satellite GPS to update maps during testing. Imagry’s technology eliminates the need for this technology, according to Ghazali. Imagry’s software is prompted by a patented simulator the company developed in-house.Through machine learning and artificial intelligence, the simulator trains the software to identify a four-way intersection, other vehicles and obstructions in order to drive the vehicle autonomously, Ghazali said.

The software features a patent-pending Aleph Star algorithm that uses physics-based planning to compensate for perception errors in real-time. “Our really unique technology is highly disruptive,” Ghazali said. “Our technology is able to understand the driving conditions in real time.” Imagry has shown its technology the past two years at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. In January, Imagry debuted its latest version of its mapless platform. By Hayley Ringle – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal

ARIZONA IRON SUPPLY, INC. Proudly Offering A Complete Steel Inventory For 41 Years
When The Windshield Helps Drive The Car, A Repair Isn’t So Simple Fixing a cracked windshield used to be the kind of repair a technician could perform in a few minutes in your office parking lot while you were at work. Today, the same repair could take hours and require expensive computerized equipment in a special facility. And it will probably cost much more. If the repair is not done properly, it could have dire consequences. In this new world of advanced driver assistance systems, features like lanekeeping assistance, automatic emergency braking and collision avoidance are integrated with windshields. They can prevent horrific accidents and save lives, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but they also involve a complex suite of sensitive components, including ultrasonic, radar and video sensors.

Cameras nestled behind the windshield, radar sensors hidden in the front grille and ultrasonic components embedded in bumpers work within narrow tolerances. A seemingly minor impact can knock them out of alignment. And as vehicles — and drivers — rely on these systems more and more, tuning these components properly can be a life-or-death matter.

A camera that hasn’t been recalibrated after a windshield repair, for example, could mean the difference between keeping you between the lines or steering you off a cliff. The driver-assistance systems may also require so-called static recalibration using custom laser and targeting equipment in a specially configured garage. Many repair shops use Bosch’s DAS 1000 calibration equipment. Cars are aligned using a complex system involving lasers that requires proper lighting and an open, level area free of interference. Certain cars from Fiat Chrysler, Honda and Toyota require such static calibration, with each model using different measurements — even if the cars use the same camera systems — according to Edward Sprigler, a vice president at Safelite Autoglass. The Bosch equipment also uses green lasers to bisect the car and create virtual lanes for the vehicle. Even the pitch of the windshield glass has to be perfect; otherwise, the sensors may look too far down the road and brake the car prematurely even when there’s no danger of a collision,Webley said.

Some vehicles, including cars from Ford, General Motors and Dodge, require what is known as dynamic recalibration, meaning the vehicle has to be test-driven according to very specific parameters. “The repair facility may drive it 25 miles,” said Richard Beckwith, senior manager at Allstate’sTech-Cor applied research and collision repair center. “It’s not for a joy ride but just to recalibrate the lane-departure warning system.” Webley demonstrated the process on city roads and highways. Using a scanning computer plugged into an SUV’s onboard diagnostic port, we had to drive on roads with clearly marked lanes, not an easy assignment around New York City. The vehicle also had to be driven at over 50 mph

3027 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85034 • (602) 275-1917 for at least 20 minutes — in clear weather — enough time for the sensing system to confirm that it was correctly calibrated. Some cars, like certain model years from Honda and Mercedes-Benz, require both static and dynamic recalibration, adding an hour or two of testing to a typical repair.That, plus the added cost of the components, has raised the price of repairs after a simple fender bender, according to AAA. Replacing a cracked or chipped windshield, for example, in a car with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning systems could cost as much as $1,600. Furthermore, many cars are now bristling with embedded ultrasonic and radar sensors. So a minor driving misjudgment that damages a side mirror and rear bumper could require fixing rear radar sensors used with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems. The price? As high as $2,050. Even tapping a curb and putting a car out of alignment could require a $300 adjustment to make sure the driver-assistance system is still operating properly, Calkins of AAA said. Consequently, Calkins recommends that new car buyers take two important steps: Check their insurance deductible so that they can cover potential driver-assistance-system repairs, and understand what safety systems are in their new cars so that they can make sure any repairs include those systems as well. Of course, driver-assistance systems are supposed to reduce the frequency of collisions, justifying the added expense, and hopefully avoiding costly repairs. A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
of General Motors vehicles in 23 states found that models with autobraking and forward-collision-warning systems had 43 percent fewer front-to-rear crashes reported to police. It also found 64 percent fewer injuries from such collisions compared with similar models without the driver-assistance technology. Moreover, the AAA Foundation forTraffic Safety estimates that assistance systems could prevent over 2.7 million accidents, 1.1 million injuries and nearly 9,500 deaths in the United States each year. The caveat: The driver-assistance systems would have to be in all vehicles on the road. “The whole question in the industry is frequency” of preventing accidents, Beckwith at Allstate said, “but we’re dominated with vehicles that do not have this equipment on them now.” “We field 15 million repair calls a year,” Sprigler at Safelite said. “Now, about 10 percent of these have ADAS.”Those percentages should go up in the future given that all the top automakers have voluntarily committed to making automatic emergency braking systems standard equipment in all vehicles by 2022. Down the road, as more semiautonomous driver assistance packages are added, the complexity of such systems will increase, fusing together radar, camera, ultrasonic and lidar technologies. That will make repairs even more challenging, and consumer awareness of the technology even more important. “Ultimately, if it’s not operating properly,” Beckwith warned, “it might not avoid an accident.” By John R.

What Employers And Employees Must Realize Now About The Future Of Jobs As we head into 2019 with a booming job market of over 7 million job openings and 5.9 million unemployed individuals, you may wonder what this new year will bring in actual job growth. Job gains have averaged 170,000 for the last 3 months and unemployment has held steady at 3.7 percent. With such a strong demand for skilled talent, some economists are surprised that the actual job growth numbers have been below expectations. So what’s really happening on the front lines of the job market?
OIL MIST AND SMOKE IN YOUR SHOP? Low-Cost, Highly Efficient Mist and Smoke Collectors Designed Specifically for the Metalworking Industry www.mistcollectors.com 1-800-645-4174
First of all, the skilled talent shortage is real.The U.S. skills gap has been a hot topic of discussion for more than 10 years – and it is only getting worse. Employers today are struggling to find experienced skilled talent in many areas from technology and health care to manufacturing and logistics. At the same time, we are beginning to see declining jobs in many lower-skilled areas where jobs are being replaced by robotics and artificial intelligence. Many jobs are declining at a rapid pace and will be eliminated by technological advancements. The top declining jobs in the U.S. are dataentry clerks, accounting, bookkeeping and payroll clerks, assembly and factory workers and customer service representatives. The emerging jobs of 2019 will be in science, big data (data mining and analysis), marketing analytics, digital transformation, software and application development, security and network engineering. We will continue to see a strong demand for registered nurses and physical therapists. In fact, some of the fastest growing jobs in demand are in the health-care sector. A recent study by Deloitte found a broadening gap between the jobs that need to be filled and the skilled talent pool proficient of filling them in the manufacturing sector. According to the study, the skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled between 2018 and 2028, with a potential economic impact of $2.5 trillion. Further, the study shows that the positions relating to digital talent, skilled production and operational managers may be three times as difficult to fill in the next three years. This certainly begs the question as to whether the U.S. is ready to meet the needs of its workforce and industries to sustain a growing, competitive economy. I would suggest employers need to think more aggressively about on-the-job training and apprenticeships to develop the workforce of tomorrow. If nothing is done, this gap will only continue to widen over the foreseeable future. Mix that with the rapidly changing advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, and as I see it, it will become impossible to find a job if you don’t have specialized training or education.

FULL 5-Axis Machining Plastics to Metals Fabrication Woman-Owned Design / Manufacturing of FOB Tool Control ISO 9001/AS9100 Certified
“You Are A Great Shop, But If You Want More Business From Us, You’ll Need To Be Cutting Edge.” PlaSteel is a Woman-Owned, Heidi Clausen, ISO 9001/AS9100 Certified Machine Shop that specializes in machining a wide variety of exotic metals as well as high performance plastics. Additionally, it excels at fabrication, and even designs and manufactures its own FOD Tool Control product line. Today, Plasteel is indeed cutting edge while also being able to continue on with a family environment/atmosphere. Loyal Clausen, Founder and CEO of the company, says, “We have traditionally driven our machine tool purchases by customer demand.” He continued, “You could say we were conservative in our investments over the better part of our 20 years in business.” Jayson Clausen, Sales Manager for the company, says, “It was one of our key customers who told us of our need to be cutting edge that fundamentally morphed us into what we are today.” Travis Gooden, VP of Operations for the company, adds, “We made a number of significant changes, from new, high end latest technology in machine tools to the hiring of ‘Top Shop’ talent that has allowed PlaSteel to evolve into the technology savvy company we are today.” Travis joined Plasteel a number of years ago. He says, “I knew of PlaSteel’s quality of workmanship and their expertise because when I was with Honeywell; they were one of my superior suppliers.” One of Plasteel’s key hires was Chris Dennis, who is the Production Manager for the company today. Travis says, “Chris is a superior programmer and he has substantial experience with 5 axis machining. It is fair to say that Chris was instrumental in our success in moving to 5 axis machining.” Loyal adds, “We made another ‘Hot Shot’ hire in Zsolt Demeter, who is our Quality Assurance Manager.” When the ‘Hot Shot’ team is introduced to a new product from a customer, one that we hadn’t manufactured before, Travis says, “they look at the product or part, and say with confidence, “We can do this!” When the management team at PlaSteel made the decision to invest A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

in 5-Axis machining,Travis says, “We contacted a number of machine tool dealers and we evaluated their product offerings and I will assure you choosing a Mazak was a simple and an easy one.” Loyal added, “Chris helped us to understand the need to purchase higher end machines – he told us that the initial cost would be higher, but it would give us 3-4 times the life of an inexpensive or entrée level machine.” In the end, the PlaSteel team selected the MazakVC-500A/5X. Made in Kentucky, the innovativeVC-500A/5XVertical Machining Center has a trunnion-style rotary/ tilt table that allows for the accurate, cost-effective processing of small complex parts via full 5-axis machining. Its reliable tool monitoring maximizes production efficiency and lowers operating costs via early problem detection. Furthermore, the axis travels for the VC-500A/5X measure 19.88” in X, 19.88” inY and 20.07” in Z, allowing it to accommodate a part sizes up to 19.68” in diameter and 12” high. Chris says, “The Mazak VC-500A/5X is ideal for processing small, complex work pieces. What separated it from other comparably priced 5-axis machining centers was its rigidity – both in the spindle and in the MX Hybrid Roller Guide System.” He continued, “We purchased the probing option which is a big help in determining work coordinate systems during setup; this is something that is extremely beneficial in 5-axis machining.” Travis adds that the fact that it is the only 5 axis machining center of this caliber that is manufactured in the United States helped make their decision even more rewarding. The productivity improvements with the Mazak VC-500A/5X were so immediately obvious to Plasteel that within 3 months of purchasing their first one, they ordered their second. Chris says, “We can machine parts on our 5 axis
machining centers in 2 operations, where in the past the same part took 4 or more operations.” Jayson adds, “Not only can we make the same parts faster and more accurately, but the Mazak 5 axis machines have opened up our capabilities to really complex parts that we couldn’t do before.” If you are looking for a shop that offers full 5-axis machining, not just 4+1 as is much more common, Plasteel is a company you should contact. Travis says, “We are sold on the USA made Mazak machines, and we value the relationship we have with our Mazak dealer, Magnum Precision Machines.” He continued, “Magnum treats us as if we were their only customer – their service is just that outstanding. Awhile back, we had a machine malfunction on a Friday night at 7:30 pm, and I called Chris Edgar, owner of Magnum. Chris answered the phone, and immediately contacted one of his application engineers.The applications engineer was on his way back from business travel in Northern Arizona. As soon as he had cell phone coverage, he pulled over and walked me through the process to get the machine back up and running.You just don’t get this kind of service from other dealers.” Today, in addition to the 2 Mazak 5-axis machining centers, Plasteel also owns a Mazak HCN-4000 horizontal machining center. Remember I said that PlaSteel’s growth and expansion was driven by customer demand? When they were a very young company, they were located across the street from a large aerospace company. They knew the engineers of this aerospace company well, Jayson says, and they would work with the engineers to look at alternative materials to reduce product weight and improve performance, switching from metal to plastic materials. “We worked so well with these engineers and we heard enough times that if we had some CNC equipment, they would keep us busy”, he elaborated. That is what got PlaSteel into machining in the first place. Today, the team at Plasteel help their customers to select the most cost effective materials for their projects. Jayson says, “We have helped customers move fromVespel SP-1 (a high-performance polyimide material), to Torlon (cutting the cost in half), and sometimes even to Ultem, which is 1/10 the cost of the Vespel SP-1 and still meets the customer’s requirements.
Plasteels’ Tool Control Products PlaSteel has developed tool control methods that are effective for managing both Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and the cost of tool control.Their solutions have helped many customers cut costs and avoid catastrophes while setting up tool control methods in the workplace. Here’s how they got started in this. One of their customers was manufacturing jet engines and had a problem with tool loss (to the tune of ~$150K).Their dilemma was this – if a tool (i.e. Calibers, Micrometer, Wrench, Screw Driver) went missing, they would have to stop everything to find it. This tool simply couldn’t find its way into a jet engine.To alleviate this problem, they needed 6000 ‘shadow boards’, and they shut down their production line each day for 2 hours using sharpies and exacto knives to hand-cut the shadow boards out of soft foam. Another customer was producing missiles and had a similar problem. Their concern was about FOD – dust, particles, and contaminants - making their way into the missile and potentially causing a malfunction. They needed a demanding material that could hold up to a specific environment. Foam and most other materials actually created FOD and introduced even more problems. Yet another customer in the food industry lost one of their spatulas in the production process.This lost spatula resulted in a recall of more than 7 million boxes of the food they had produced. With their background in plastics, Plasteel came up with a solution for their customers’ dilemmas. First, they developed a light box system that allowed their customers to lay out their tools and take a picture to create the shadow boards. They used their knowledge of raw materials and developed solutions for a variety of applications. Ranging from ESD safe, to food safe, to clean room safe materials, to something that would be priced similar to soft foam but more robust and wouldn’t
break down over time.Thus GotFOD was created. Interestingly, Plasteel’s Vice President of Operations, Travis Gooden, was one of Plasteel’s earliest GotFOD customers. During his tenure at Honeywell,Travis was charted with improving Honeywell’s accountability of tools in conjunction with their 5S Lean Program.Travis says, “Plasteel’s solution was safer and far more robust than the foam we were cutting out for our own solution. Remarkably, their final product cost less than the foam we would need to purchase for the project!”
PlaSteel took Got-Fod a step further, when they created a partnership with SKB Cases, one of the largest manufacturers of Industrial cases. They took their Tool Control solution and married it into SKB’s high quality industrial cases, providing their customers with another solution for organization and protection. Plasteel’s GotFOD solutions are often utilized in kitting for assembly across many industries. Daylan Passey, who manages PlaSteel’s FOD Tool Control products, says, “If you do anything in manufacturing, time in production is lost looking for tools and components. Our GotFOD custom products are excellent solutions and we make it easy for our customers. Just take a picture of the tools, send it to us, and we develop a custom solution for you.” Plasteel just celebrated their 20th year, and it was a record breaking year. With the right tools, technology and talent, coupled with their GotFOD product line, they are an excellent partner to any manufacturing entity.

Aerocircular provides green, economical end-of-life aircraft recycling/upcycling services.The company has created a niche market that salvages parts for reuse in aircraft; repurposes parts for other uses outside the aviation industry; or breaks down materials altogether, resulting in high-quality raw materials, like composite or aluminum to be used in entirely new products. This will be Aerocircular’s first and only operation in North America.The company plans to hire 35 employees this year in management, certifying staff and non-skilled labor positions. “Arizona is a leader in the maintenance, repair and overhaul sector and provides the top talent, history of expertise and excellent infrastructure that Aerocircular was seeking,” said SandraWatson, President & CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We thank Aerocircular for their investment in our state, and look forward to supporting their continued success!” “We are proud that Aerocircular has chosen Mesa for their first location in North America,” Mayor John Giles said. “Their aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul operation is a perfect fit for Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and we look forward to welcoming more than 130 jobs to southeast Mesa.” Aerocircular will occupy hangar space at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport to allow for the disassembly and dismantling of three 737s at one time, with two planes in the hangar, and one on the apron.The turnaround time for completion of one aircraft is three weeks or less. “We are very fortunate to be working in collaboration with the City of Mesa and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority to deliver the first private hangar development at the airport in almost ten years,” said David Wetta, founder and owner of developer Wetta Ventures, LLC. “The 45,000-square foot MRO will be custom-designed for Aerocircular. This development has so many exciting aspects; aviation, sustainability, and technology.” Currently, Aerocircular’s focus is on jetliners, but the company is also beginning to enter the market for recycling/up-cycling of military planes. "Greater Phoenix has a long history with the aerospace industry and it’s exciting to welcome Aerocircular, a Belgian aircraft upcycling business to the market,” says Chris Camacho, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “Their innovative business model is in great company in Mesa and the location at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport puts them alongside many other exciting ventures." More than 55,000 people work in Arizona’s 563 aerospace and defense establishments, including 140 FAA-certified MRO operations. Arizona MRO operations have the third-highest total economic impact in the nation of over $4 billion, behind only California and Washington.

If you’ve watched the Waymo vans making their way through the Valley, you have a sense of what I’m talking about. And if you’ve seen your reflection in their windows as they brake in the lane next to you, you might even imagine your own place in this new world. When what formerly was known as the Google self-driving car project named Arizona its global testing location, we didn’t entirely know the magnitude of what this really meant. Even if we’re not passengers in Waymo’s Early Rider Program or its new Waymo One service, we all will be touched in some form. And I mean beyond a call from your friends in Pittsburgh wondering whether you’ve seen the driverless vans on the road. Arizona is on the ground floor of a new economic sector that’s more than just a wish. In 2017, Intel coined the phrase “passenger economy” in a study that predicted an economic trajectory that will grow from $800 billion in 2035 to $7 trillion by 2050. U.S. companies alone are expected to spend $61 billion in R&D and capital investments on autonomous vehicles by 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Intel has a front-seat perspective to this growing phenomenon. The company was the first private-sector partner named to the Institute of Automated Mobility, a consortium of companies, public officials and university researchers created by Gov. Doug Ducey to collaborate on state-of-the-art research and testing in the state.It makes sense that Intel will help take the lead. Waymo’s self-driving Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans feature Intel-based technologies for sensor processing, general computing and connectivity. Combined, the new technology enables real-time decisions for full autonomy on city streets. With the forecast for the passenger economy so huge, you know this all has to go beyond Waymo and Intel.We already have companies with Arizona ties involved in helping autonomous vehicles gain traction. Chandler-based Local Motors, developer of the first 3D-printed car, has rolled out Olli, the first self-driving, electric, co-created and cognitive shuttle. One of its first stops is the East Valley Institute of Technology, which recently won a contest to use a pair of eight-person shuttles to try for about three months. TuSimple, a company with headquarters in San Diego and Beijing, has been usingTucson as its base for developing self-driving commercial trucks. Plans for expansion are expected to have an economic impact of $1.1 billion over the next five years, with 500 jobs added inTucson by fall 2020. A critical component to the autonomy is connectivity. A company with experience developing the sensors to make self-driving a reality is Phoenixbased ON Semiconductor. Forbes recently cited the company’s work with LiDAR, radar and cameras — the only manufacturer to make all three. The big automakers already have been doing some exploration of these new
types of vehicles and related technology in Arizona. Besides Chrysler, reported to be going about their own R&D are Ford, GM and its Cruise Automation unit, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen. In a conservative estimate, Intel forecasts that 585,000 lives will be saved due to self-driving vehicles from 2035 to 2045. Add to that the reduction in public safety costs related to traffic accidents could amount to more than $234 billion in the same period.By Steve Zylstra , Phoenix Business Journal
Raytheon To Turn Glide Bomb Into Cruise Missile For Navy Jets The U.S. Navy plans to award a contract to Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems for development of a longerrange version of a precision-guided glide bomb for its F/A-18 Hornet and F-35C combat jets. The Joint Standoff Weapon-Extended Range (JSOW-ER) adds a turbojet engine to more than quadruple the range of the unpowered JSOW C-1 to about 345 miles, essentially creating a short-range, air-launched cruise missile with the ability to hit moving ships. The Navy plans to award Raytheon a sole-source contract to carry out so-called risk-reduction and engineering and manufacturing development of the JSOW-ER — for deployment of the weapon no later than fiscal 2023, according to a notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website.The proposed contract requires Raytheon to extend the range of the existing JSOW C-1 while keeping the same targeting and performance capabilities, and to fit the JSOW-ER on the
F/A-18 and for internal carriage on the F-35. Last April, Raytheon announced that it had completed testing to fit the JSOW C-1 in the internal weapons bay of the F-35, an important capability to maintain the fighter’s radar-evading profile. In July, the defense contractor was awarded a $10.3 million contract for JSOW-ER flight tests and necessary modifications to add range to the JSOW C-1. Originally a joint Navy-Air Force program, the JSOW has undergone a series of upgrades since it was first used in Iraq in 1998.The C-1 version, declared operational in 2017, added a weapon data link and an infrared target seeker to track moving targets in the final moments of flight. The Navy and Raytheon have been working on an extended-range version of the JSOW on and off for a decade, with its first successful free-flight demo in 2009. In 2017, the Navy awarded the company a $9 million contract to resume testing of the JSOW-ER. By David Wichner Arizona Daily A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Engineering Life Science & Medical Solutions’ Las Vegas Division Improves Productivity & Profitability With The Help Of Their Haas Machine Tools
IMI Precision Engineering is a British-based engineering company that is a leader in motion and fluid control technologies.The company has a global team of key account managers and over 400 engineers – their team is represented in 50 countries, and they have manufacturing plants in the USA, Germany, China, UK, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Mexico, Brazil and India. The company serves a wide range of industries, including; Automotive, Energy, Food & Beverage, Industrial Automation, Mobile Pneumatics, and, Life Science and Medical. Across these industries, IMI Precision is renowned for its actuators, valves, switches and sensors. In a sprawling facility in the outskirts of Las Vegas is one of IMI Precision Engineering’s Life Sciences and Medical facilities. It is on this campus that such products as precision dispense pumps, valves, syringes and manifold subassemblies are designed and manufactured. AdamTruster, manufacturing engineer for the plant’s machine shop, says, “In our manufacturing environment, we are generally ‘high mix and low volume’. We have ~14,000 part numbers, because the majority of our products are custom. Our syringe, valve and pump products, while most commonly used in medical diagnostics, are also used by customers in just about any application where the customer requires precision dispensing. For example, we have a customer that uses our products to cycle ink through, and another in Europe that uses our products to pump milk.” Joe Micheels, Production Supervisor for the machine shop, says, “We are a turnaround manufacturing entity for IMI Precision Engineering. 3 years ago, we had quality and delivery issues, our machine tools were old, morale was low, and the company’s outlook on our shop was poor.” He continued, “We brought in a new Operations Manager and he helped turn our business around with the efforts of our entire team.” Adam and Joe are millennials, not many years out of engineering school. Both worked through the former environment that was anything but energizing. Today, they are proud to be a part of a highly successful entity. Even more rewarding is the fact that they were part of a turnaround organization. Joe says, “Through in-sourcing (taking back manufacturing from outside entities), we have saved our plant hundreds of thousands of dollars.” He continued, “I could not be prouder of our team, and that includes everyone in the machine shop.” Joe says that the machine shop even has some machinists who came to the Las Vegas plant from Brea, California, when they moved with one of the company’s acquisitions. “A few of our guys have over 25 years with our company”, he elaborates.

Adam says, “We had some very good machines in our shop, but they were several years old. Last year, since our shop is now a top performer for the company, we received budget to make our first new machine tool purchases.” Adam and the team looked at a number of different machine builders’ products. In the end, they purchased 4 new Haas machines; • 2 Haas DM-2 machines, one a 3 axis and one a 5 axis (with a TRT-100).The DM-2 is a compact, highspeed Drill/Mill Center with 28” x 16” x 15.5” travels. Adam says it is faster than the Haas VF-1 with the same precision. “For our parts”, he elaborates, “which never weigh more than 4 lbs., the DM-2 machines are perfect.They are insanely fast and you can’t beat the accuracy.” • 1 Haas CL-1, which is an ultra-compact CNC chucker lathe that comes standard with an 8-station automatic turret, making it ideal for dedicated smallpart production, second-op parts, or short runs and prototyping small parts. • 1 Haas MINIMILL. Jason McCurdy, Business Manager for Ellison Machinery, supporting Ellison Machinery’s customers in Las Vegas, says, “Haas MINIMILLs are the industry standard for compact machining centers. They provide an economical solution for small parts machining in a compact package that is loaded with full-size features.” The Haas CL- and Haas MINIMILL are placed within inches of each other for workflow productivity. Adams says, “Between the two new machines and the placement of them, on one of our products, where we used to machine 100 parts on a shift, we are now
machining up to 300.” He continued, “We’ve had a 90% reduction in set-up, and change overs are virtually nonexistent.” Adam and Joe both agree the Haas machines are outstanding for the requirements in the IMI machine shop in Las Vegas. Joe says, “Their controls are the best – they are so user friendly.” Adam adds, “They are an excellent value, and they work well over time. We have a VF-3 that is 7 years old that we use exclusively to cut 96% Alumina ceramic. It is definitely standing up over time despite being dedicated to cutting such a tough material.” “The Ellison Machinery team does a great job for us”, Adam says. “We buy our machines through Jason McCurdy. He understands our shop and where we are going — he is really knowledgeable, and he has an outstanding attention to detail.” I mentioned that Adam and Joe are both millennials.The two both agree that Haas’ marketing materials are the best in the industry. Joe says, “We value the ‘Haas Tip of the Day’, and their YouTube videos are outstanding and informative.” Adam adds, “When we were purchasing the Haas DM-2, I shared the HaasYouTube video showing its speed and productivity to our Finance Director to help her understand what a value it was.” Adam, Joe and the team are pursuing Automation as a next step in their machine shop evolution. Adam says, “We just purchased our first two robots and we’re getting ready to install them.” About IMI Precision Engineering The company’s origins begin in 1927, when Carl Norgren founded his air preparation business. 45 years later, the Norgren family sold the business to IMI plc, forming the IMI fluid power division. Over the next decades, the company grew through acquisitions around the world, including;Watson Smith, Martonair, Buschjost, Herion, KIP, Fluid Automation System of Switzerland, Syron, GT Development, Kloehn,ThompsonValves,Adsorbent MediaTube (AMT), and Bimba. IMI Precision Engineering is growing, and the work environment in its Las Vegas facility is better than ever. Adam and Joe are proud to be a part of the team. Joe says, “We are looking for experienced machinists to join our team, and if you have experience with Swiss lathe machining and are willing to move to LasVegas, please email me.” (joe.micheels@imi-precision.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 •

New US Workforce Policy Board Includes, Apple, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, IBM The U.S. workforce needs to be revamped and the administration wants to hear from industry leaders how it can achieve this. The need to find workers is paramount given the 7.3 million job openings which exceed the number of people unemployed, according to the Commerce Department. “This Administration is committed to making sure all Americans can participate in the opportunities created by the booming economy,” said Ivanka Trump co-chair of the Advisory Board. We want all Americans to have the skills and opportunities to secure good paying jobs and successfully navigate technological disruptions and the rapidly changing nature of work.” The Advisory Board’s goal is to have varied perspectives on workforce issues facing communities and businesses across the country, while raising awareness of multiple pathways for American workers to obtain faily-sustaining careers. The Advisory Board’s recommendations will help guide the National Council’s critical work in establishing a strategy to ensure that America’s students and workers have access to affordable, relevant, and innovative education and job training that will equip them to compete and win in the global economy. As part of this strategy, the Advisory Board will assist in: • Developing a national campaign promoting multiple education and training pathways that lead to family-sustaining careers; • Recommending a specific course of action for improving labor market data to better match American workers and students with the skills and competencies employers demand; • Identifying strategies to improve private sector investments in American students and workers to establish a culture of lifelong learning; and • Increasing transparency and outcomes of education and job training programs, as well as enhancing skills-based hiring to better identify the needs companies seek in job applicants. The members of the Board include: Tim Cook, CEO, Apple Jay Box, President, Kentucky Community and Technical College System Walter Bumphus, CEO, American Association of Community Colleges Jim Clark, CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America Tom Donohue, CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Juanita Duggan,CEO, National Federation for Independent Business Elizabeth Goettl, CEO, Cristo Rey Network Marillyn Hewson, CEO, Lockheed Martin Eric Holcomb, Governor, Indiana Barbara Humpton, CEO, Siemens USA Al Kelly, CEO, Visa Vi Lyles, Mayor, Charlotte, North Carolina Bill McDermott, CEO, SAP America Sean McGarvey, President, North America’s Building and Trades Unions Doug McMillon, CEO, Walmart Craig Menear, CEO, Home Depot Michael Piwowar, Executive Director, Milken Institute Scott Pulsipher, President, Western Governors University

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
