A washdown environment — a facility where high pressure washing with water or chemicals takes place — creates special needs for machinery. It doesn’t take an engineer to understand that blasting electronics with a pressure washer and chemicals can cause some problems.

Modern robots are amazing. The speed and precision of industrial motion control systems are far beyond anything early factory workers could have ever dreamed of. A century ago, modern industrial robots only existed in science fiction. Those workers would have loved to hear stories about a mighty and fantastic machine known as “Indramat” that could… Read more »
Upgrades are good, right? To upgrade means that you’re improving upon what you currently have. Marketers and advertisers tell us all the time that we should always want something better than what we already have, and feel bad for having anything less than the best.
