Why Is Structural Steel Important?

 

Structural steel is big business in Canada, so it is no surprise that you find steel beams everywhere. The fabricated metals sector of the manufacturing industry includes an overwhelming volume of manufacturing all the time. In fact, it is the eighth largest sector. With over 150,000 people employed in the fabricated metal products manufacturing industry, this means that this industry makes such a huge impact in the lives of Canadians.

Nonetheless, the fabricated metals industry accounts for a quarter of all shipments in the world. In Canada, shipments are delivered from Quebec and Ontario to all parts of the country. The majority of metal producers in Canada are small and medium-sized businesses that are manned by no more than 100 workers.

What Makes Structural Steel Important?

Structural steel components are important when it comes to the building of any steel structure. We understand our client’s need for high-quality steel beams. Thus, we provide them with the best steel products that include steel bars, steel HSS sections, steel deck and steel channels.

Structural steel components are important for these reasons.

• It has a high level of endurance – There is no amount of tension and bending that can actually destroy structural steel. It can also withstand large external loads. Structural steel beams are actually wide and heavy enough to be able to display such endurance.
• It is extremely versatile – In the manufacture of structural steel, many kinds of materials are involved and added. These include niobium, aluminum, and These materials are useful in improving the strength, endurance, and composition of structural steel.
• It can make construction fast and easy – Structural steel beams have a framing system that can be finished in a relatively much shorter time compared to other construction materials. In addition, structural steel is easily used for the construction of large ships and pipelines.
• It can produce minimal waste – Structural steel components do not produce so much environmental waste during its use. This serves as an advantage to anyone who is considering costs and insulating steel against fire. In addition to that, you can form steel into many nonlinear designs.

DOS AND DON’TS OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY

 

Printed circuit boards are used in all but the simplest electronic products. They are also used in some electrical products, such as passive switch boxes. This is why printed circuit board assembly is so important to North American industry.

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components or electrical components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Components are generally soldered onto the PCB to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it.

If we talk about printed circuit board assembly, companies emerge that offer full Turn-Key and partial Turn-Key Circuit Board Assembly Services, focusing on both rigid and flex PCB assembly. In Full Turn-Key PCB, handling everything including making circuit boards, ordering components, online order tracking, quality inspection and final assembly.  In partial Turn-Key, you can order the PCBs and partial components, and have the remaining parts fixed for you.

Rubber Sheets for Soundproofing Purposes

 

One of the interesting projects we often get called upon for at VibraSystems is the use of our custom products for acoustically treating, or “soundproofing” a room, usually for a recording studio or a shared living space. Our rubber sheets and foam products are extremely handy for this kind of work, and we are capable of moulding our products to fit any shape or size that you might need for your quiet space.

But first, how can rubber sheets benefit a quiet environment?

Acoustically treating a space can be boiled down to a few simple concepts: dense walls, damping, and decoupling. VibraSystems’ products are designed to do exactly these things, with padding and mounts, on an industrial scale. To accomplish this, we can use foam and rubber, in sheets and pads, to isolate vibrations and noises from your recording equipment (or nosy neighbors).

Damping and using dense walls are straightforward steps that utilize heavy surfaces to slow down or prevent vibrations that can carry sound outside of the room. A building that’s being built for the specific purpose of soundproofing or recording will usually be constructed with a highly dense material to manage this; failing that, however, specially-designed rubber sheets can be formed and/or cut to “shield” the walls of the room.

Decoupling, on the other hand, prevents vibrations by making sure that different surfaces in the same room touch each other as little as possible. This is because vibrations affecting one structure can be transferred over to another easily, which helps sound to travel within a room. You certainly won’t be stapling rubber sheets everywhere to fix this problem, but many of Vibrasystems’ mounts and other isolators for exactly this purpose.

To thoroughly soundproof and acoustically treat a space, you’re going to need a lot to work with, and potentially a bit of help to do so – feel free to browse through our product listing and ask us about custom projects anytime!

The Basics of Laser Cutting Technology

 

The metal fabrication industry had undergone great evolution and one of the latest developments made is the laser cutting technology. It uses a very high-powered beam of light to cut through a material according to computer controlled programs. One of the key reason why laser cutting in Toronto is popularly demanded is that it produces high-quality surface finish which usually don’t need any further finishing.

Fabricators use two different systems in performing laser cutting. One system is called gantry wherein laser is placed perpendicular to the workpiece and the beam is directed over it. This system is usually used to produce prototypes because it cuts slower than the other system called galvanometer. This one uses mirrored angles in repositioning the beam and cuts much faster up to 100 ft per minute, making it ideal for high volume production.

The machine used during laser cutting in Toronto utilize both stimulation and amplification methods in converting electrical energy into a beam of light. An electrical arc is used to excite the electrons and so stimulation happens. Whereas amplification occurs within the optical resonator and when a photon is not properly aligned with this resonator, the mirror will not redirect the beam light. This is to make sure that a coherent beam is produced by amplifying only properly oriented photons.

Setting up a laser cutting machine is quite simple and the entire process won’t take much long. More so now that advanced machinery makes every step of laser cutting in Toronto much easier while achieving much higher results. Newer tools and systems can even do a simulation job, making the job of operators much faster and more efficient by automatically correcting any errors in imported drawing exchange format and drawing files.

In case you need a laser cutting in Toronto for your project or application, experience the best service and quality results from Metal Tronics. We can work on almost any type of materials you want to laser cut using our state-of-the-art equipment and facility.

Mouldings Toronto: What Are Their Uses?

 

Mouldings in Toronto are capable of adding beauty to your home or business. As these mouldings help increase the value of your property, they do so without burning a hole in your pocket.

 

Different Types Of Mouldings And Their Uses

 

• Wall Mouldings. When there is a visible end grain located on the wood wainscoting, you can use a cap to cover the said area. A wainscot cap can also be used at the top part of flat baseboards. Picture moulding also belongs in this category, which is installed for hanging paintings. It is typically used with metal hooks.
• Chair backs can cause damage to the walls. You can add a chair rail to prevent such damages. There is also a corner moulding that is useful in providing protection to the drywall outside corners. It also effective in areas that have high amount of traffic.
• Ceiling Mouldings. The corners that show the insides of the sheet panelling are usually covered with cove mouldings in Toronto homes. The built-up crown mouldings that are installed at the ceiling and wall junctures can create a dramatic effect. This is also a good place for cove moulding.
• Base Trim. This kind of moulding is used to cover the lower part of the walls. It also covers the gaps that are visible between the floor and the wall. If there is a variation from the base bottom to the floor, the base trim is also applied.
• Casing. This is effective in hiding the gap between the jambs and the walls that surround them. The space between closely spaced windows is usually installed with a mullion casing. It is important that the center trim matches the thickness and style of the window casing.

Mouldings in Toronto have amazing benefits to any structure. It can transform the look of any room and make the area look bigger than it seems.

Differentiating the 3 Major Categories of Bandsaw

 

Just like a new machinery, a used bandsaw is still regarded as one of the most versatile power tools available due to its ability to cut through about any material. However, you can’t just purchase one without knowing the kind of material you will be working with since it comes in different types. The major ones include vertical, horizontal, portable or handheld. Choosing one requires good knowledge of how each one works and for what purposes it is designed for.

Horizontal Bandsaw

Whether new or used bandsaw, this broader category of bandsaw works by holding the material in place while the blades cuts through it. Once a cut is completed, the tool shuts off automatically to prevent any potential injuries to the worker. A horizontal bandsaw is perfect for cutting longer materials but not so ideal for working on curved lines or more complicated shapes. However, it provides excellent accuracy and precision when dealing with straight lines. It’s also quieter to operate than most saws and offer safer operation with no heat-affected area after each use.

Vertical Bandsaw

The key difference between this type of saw and its horizontal counterpart is that it is the workpiece that moves through the blade. Also, it’s known to be very versatile for creating complicated lines and shapes that other bandsaws can’t rival. A vertical bandsaw can even perform precise straight cuts, earning a title of an all-rounder power tool. Even a used bandsaw of this type can cut through the workpiece fast and easy. It even features a built in welder that is great to create or repair blades and useful in making interior cuts to the workpiece.

Portable or Handheld Bandsaw

This one is a wise investment if you often need it on the go, or require various cutting jobs in different places. It is also very flexible in cutting curved lines, irregular shapes, and straight cuts. It uses the same technology as to the other types to perform its cuts. It has a continuous band of metal being pulled along by two wheels. Portable bandsaws have so plenty of uses that make them very popular and handy for amateur and large scale workers.

Whichever type of used bandsaw you need for your specific application, Industrial Bandsaw Services is your first stop to get the best machinery you’re looking for.

More About Color Pigment

Color pigment is an insoluble material that provides color, opacity, gloss control to specific functions. It is applied not as solutions but as finely ground solid particles mixed with a liquid. Color Pigments may be organic or inorganic. The majority of inorganic pigments are brighter and last longer than organic ones. Organic pigments made from natural sources used for centuries. Synthetic organic color pigments obtained from coal tars and other petrochemicals. Inorganic pigments made by relatively simple chemical responses or are found naturally as piles of earth.

The dried precipitated pigment might be in a form used immediately, but often these raw pigmentary materials require further mechanical processing, heating or chemical treatment to render them more useful as pigments. Inorganic pigments have a much larger average particle size than organic pigments. The particles sizes of inorganic pigments are much closer to this optimum than those of organic pigments, which tend to be much lower. It is the main reason why most organic pigments are considered transparent and most inorganic pigments opaque. With their larger surface area, organic pigments give much higher color strength.

Knowing the difference between organic and inorganic color pigment, you can choose which will best suit your specific application. We, at A. S. Paterson Company Limited, are excited to be of service to you. For more information, give us a call or check out our website.
