New Michigan Contract Engineering Firm Launches

Now many of those same inventions and innovations are being used in the professional services sector, where thousands of new electronics and circuit units are needed each day to make the job easier. That is why DEB Associates was created, to be the professional engineer consulting firm for businesses looking for contract engineering, electronics engineering, and electronics design and prototyping.

”I have over 20 years of management and engineering experience in the automotive industry and thought it was time to share that knowledge. With the launch of DEBAssociates.com, we hope to bring our technical engineering skills and experience to client projects,” said Dave Bruder, founder of DEB Associates.  

Many clients have been surprised by the quality of personal service that they receive from Bruder and DEB Associates:  

”I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with DEB’s services. The quality was excellent, couldn’t ask for more,” said Tom Nussbaum of Dearborn.  

DEB Associates is also committed to the environmental sustainability initiative and LEED building certifications that are encouraged by many communities. Bruder is on the cutting edge of the sustainability initiative, “Our recent projects in renewable energy are promising, not only for our clients but the future. Being on the Internet is a must for sharing these developments!”  

DEB Associates specializes in electrical engineering and units generated by the switched-mode power supply (or SMPS, or simply switcher). This is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator for the most efficient conversion of electrical power. “Like other types of power supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a source like the electrical power grid to a load,” according to SMPS.com.  

This type of power supply is the most efficient and used in manufacturing of embedded systems of computer circuit boards. These circuit boards are then placed in network units and chassis for use at call centers, transportation mechanisms and other manufacturing and professional sites throughout the world. That is why any business who has a new invention should consult DEB Associates who can design the prototype and help them find a firm that manufactures the parts for them at the lowest cost.  

Shelly Jenkins of Warren said, “I received all my parts today and they look phenomenal. Thanks David for all your help. You will definitely be hearing back from us in the near future.”

Sidel launches Bottle Switch to improve mold changeover time

Sidel claims that the result is a semi automatic system that reduces mold changeover time to less than a minute and cuts machine downtime by 50 per cent.
On an SBO 20 Universal2, for example, Sidel said full format changeover now takes 18 minutes ‘bottle to bottle’ for a single operator. The previous system needed two operators and the changeover took 33 minutes.

As well as saving time and reducing complications for operators, Sidel claims that with the new solution customers may avoid additional spending on storage silos and intermediate palletisation.

Semi-automatic

The Bottle Switch replaces what was a manual process with a semi-automatic solution. The system automatically brings the required blowing station in front of the operator, where it arrives already open.

The operator then just has to change the molds and this non-automatic part of the process is made easier as removal and installation in the mold support can be done tool free. Sidel claims that this step takes less than a minute to complete.

The Bottle Switch is available under Options & Upgrades for all recent generations of SBO Universal blow molders. By the end of 2010 the system will become available for all SBO Series2 and Combi machines.

Mold quality assurance is also one of Intertech Machinery Inc’s core competences.  We use only Japan and German imports mold steel.  Steel certificate, including the steel origin…steel property and composition data certified from the original steel producer can all be provided.  Now, due to the hard competition, the market is quite messed now with applying China imports lower price and lower quality steel.  We only insist to use only Japan and German imports steel to assure our quality level. Therefore, all our molds exported can be under good life guaranteed. Our website
