Before joining Rockwell Automation, he held supply chain, manufacturing engineering and manufacturing operations positions with General Motors for nine years. holds a bachelor's of science in manufacturing systems engineering from as well as an MBA in operations management and master's degree in manufacturing systems engineering, both from the

The process avoids harsh solvents or chemicals, enhancing safety and sustainability for manufacturing operations. Laser marking offers several manufacturing benefits that can positively impact the production process. For manufacturers and brand owners of plastic caps and closures, fiber lasers are generally the preferred choice. 2.    

The medical device manufacturing sector across Asia is growing quickly, and this region is also the clear leader in the manufacturing and export of electronics,” said Barto Du Plessis, vice president Asia, at PolyOne. This higher Tg frees manufacturers to design parts that can withstand greater operating temperatures and high-temperature sterilization without warping. In addition, compared to PEEK, the materials can be processed at lower temperatures to help manufacturers save energy during injection molding.  

Replacing metal with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ conductive polymer enables Sylumis to manufacture the lamps more efficiently and with even more innovative designs. Transitioning from metal to specialty engineered polymer solutions helps our customers meet their goals for efficient manufacturing, innovative design and weight savings.” PolyOne supported the design and production engineers at Sylumis with thermal simulation and mold filling analysis to help the manufacturer optimize the geometry, heat transfer and manufacturability of the heat sinks.

New metal replacement solutions and thermoplastic elastomers for sealing applications help manufacturers effectively and economically increase fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and improve manufacturing efficiencies. By replacing aluminum with Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymer in the heat sink,manufacturers can significantly reduce total part weight and optimize production and logistics. OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

Simplifies manufacturing Cable Grommet for Auto Mirror & Camera Manufacturer Tool Handles for Tool Manufacturer

– PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, will exhibit its Geon HC family of healthcare solutions for medical device housings this week at Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West 2014.  Some medical device manufacturers are experiencing a sharp rise in field failures as device housings develop stress cracks from frequent exposure to chemical disinfectants,” said James Stephenson, director, global marketing, PolyOne Geon Performance Materials. The PolyOne team works collaboratively with medical device manufacturers, offering a variety of support services, including part and mold design, manufacturing, agency approval, and other services to minimize the time and help manage the risks involved in bringing a new medical device to the market.

The purpose-built facility was opened in Pune, one of India’s leading manufacturing centers, in 2014. Specialty engineered materials manufacturing capability is currently being installed within the facility, and production trials begin later this year.

These latest solutions build on a long history of working closely with unique realistic skin materials to leading medical manikin and training model manufacturers. We’ve seen growth in demand for medical manikins and training models, putting, manufacturers under constant pressure to differentiate and find ways to quickly introduce innovative new products,” said James Petrie, marketing director, PolyOne Color and Additives. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology – Adds a protective barrier to help prevent the growth and spread of germs; creates a competitive advantage for manufacturers

Recent developments in laser marking equipment allow manufacturers to run wire and cable production lines at rates up to 400 meters/minute. For manufacturers, this development means they can increase production rates while also maintaining the excellent quality of their laser marking. We encourage manufacturers to collaborate with our laser marking experts to ensure that marking and contrast can be optimized for each color and polymer.”
