Adhesives and tape costs can reach thousands per line each month. The case for quantifying a transition to mechanical kinematic systems comes down to the net financial impact.
Construction and engineering experts must find a way to stabilize structures, regardless of space constraints. Compact machinery could work, but it has not been feasible due to its limited torque and strength—until now.
To prevent corrosion on fasteners, and to improve their looks, they are often coated or plated. Here’s a quick look at some of those coatings and platings.
