No engineering - no cars

Participate and amazement was announced at the Day of Action "hands-on technology" in the Audi Forum in Neckarsulm. Young inventors were allowed their skills to the test.
NECKARSULM. Meet in an Audi, a BMW, a Mercedes and a Vauxhall in the Audi Forum in Neckarsulm. No, this is not a car-joke, but last Saturday was the day of action "hands-on technology" in and around the Audi Forum in Neckarsulm reality in many places.

With many hands-on activities, a DTM special, the stop of the Heidelberg Historic and many more Audi attracted about 4,500 visitors at its production site on the Neckar. "It is a day of action for the whole family with a focus on children and young people," emphasized organizer Yvonne townspeople against the Frankish messages.
For the youngest generation in that day, most caution. Particular attention will attract the workshop: Once build a solar racer himself, or modify an Audi R8 on the PC. No problem. Get the young inventor explains how a solar cell works and can be implemented by experts in the CAD program. Then comes the exciting part: "The young people may speak their own facelift of the Audi R8, create," says city dwellers and would really prefer to join. The result of getting the children on a USB stick home.

From toolmaker to corporate leader

Manfred Thiele from Bonn village is now 70 years old / 40 years he has worked for Dunkermotoren and youth work.

BONNDORF. Almost an example to read the biography of Manfred Thiele, who has lived 40 years in Bonn village and today the 70th Birthday. Born middle of the war in Berlin and grew up influenced debris, hunger, raisin bombers, Berlin Blockade and the Berlin Wall's childhood significantly. "It was not a good time, but it was indeed all the same," says Manfred Thiele today, looking back.

After his secondary school level Thiele first learned the trade of tool maker, prepared already during the training courses in the evening before at the School of Engineering gauss, where he then continued to the manufacturing engineer qualified and worked as such at AEG in Berlin.

The atmosphere in Berlin was at that time but "not great" and he readily followed in 1970 an offer of Dunkermotoren. Initially responsible for rationalization, it was here, after four months, the management of the production preparation transferred. Ten years later, Manfred Thiele, head of materials management. His actions led to reduced inventories to about a third, reduced lead times and improved delivery performance was mainly what led to significant sales increases.

View this image in big size
The new 3-axis accelerometer family CMA3000 made ​​by VTI (Sales HY-LINE Sensor-Tec) was built in the new Chip-On-Mems technology. The sensor is currently the smallest (2 x 2 x 0.95 mm) and also the lowest power generator available with the acceleration sensor on the market. The supply voltage is 1.7 V to 3.6 Vdc. The measuring range is from 2 g and 8 g and is electronically switchable. The sensor can be operated via an analog or digital SPI / I ² C interface.
Interruptsignalerzeugung by Data Ready, Motion and Free Fall, the sensor is also possible.

U.S. supports manufacturing with lower tariffs

Thursday 12 August 2010, 10:09 clock
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government is boosting the manufacturing sector among: President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed a law that brought the industry in the U.S. lower import duties on the materials they need from abroad to manufacture its products .
Some duties will in fact be suspended completely. Examples are certain types of computer chips, or even leather, from which running shoes are manufactured.

mechanical engineering

The art of mechanical engineering is concerned with the application of mechanics, thermodynamics and structural engineering to machines. A mechanical engineer usually works with the design, manufacturing and maintenance of machines. Fortunately there are good websites that work with the field of mechanical engineering .

manufacturing
