Engineering Services

August 20th, 2010

Engineering Services is the rapidly evolving business segment in today’s recovered economy. The challenges in product development are reduced cycle time, low cost and domain competency. The product life cycle is much lesser compared to even last decade in almost all product lines. Rapid development of technologies, lack of skilled resources and attrition are main reasons for small and medium sized enterprises to focus on engineering services outsourcing.

India is the leading country among other competing countries like Brazil, China, Russia etc., with proven skills on Information Technology (IT), English fluency, low cost resources, availability of large number of engineers etc. However, there are few drawbacks like non-availability of industry ready engineers, domain competency etc. Government of India and most of its State Governments have announced several promotional schemes for engineering services companies. Some of the promotions are cash assistance for recruitment, subsidy on electricity, subsidy on office rent etc. These factors are enabling most of the companies to focus on engineering services business.

The key factors for any engineering services providing company is the availability of globally leading CAD, CAM, CAE software tools, strong domain knowledge, well trained and experienced resources and strong leadership.

Jytra Engineering Services is one of the leading consultancy firm operating from Hyderabad, India. Jytra Engineering Services has business partnership with Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software (India) Pvt. Ltd.

November 7th, 2009

With the appointment of Lech Wiecierzynski as the new System Administrator at cabletiesandmore.com there are big changes in store for the company.  Susan Gardener, VP Purchasing and Product Development, puts it this way, “Lech brings to our company the knowledge that is required in today’s the fast paced IT environment.”

Along with this new addition to their staff, cabletiesandmore.com has recently introduced a new line of Network Products.  This line includes Network Cables, Patch Cords, Network Tools, Patch Panels, RJ 45 Jacks and Plugs, Wall Plates, Junction Boxes, Wiring Ducts, and Cable Management items.

As if this wasn’t enough, cabletiesandmore.com has also added a new aspect to their complete line of cable ties.  While they have always offered cable ties, they will now customize these with a company logo and phone number.  Gardner says, “All that is required is our customer to call and give us the information they require and we will do a custom quote for them.”

With all of these changes cabletiesandmore.com offers the same reliable service they have always offered.  All of their products are in stock and shipped within 24 hours.  They also display videos of the configuration of various cables and installation procedures associated with them on their website.  “Now is the time to organize your cables and wires around desk and work areas,” states Gardner and it looks as though she is right.

Formdrill Uses Friction Heat to Drill Through Sheet Metal, No Nuts or Bosses Needed (Z074)

May 6th, 2009

Chicago, May 5, 2009 (word count: 415)

High-resolution images are available on request.


The Formdrill process uses a special carbide tip to drill through thin materials such as sheet metal by friction, removing the need for nuts and bosses and cutting costs in half compared to traditional connecting methods. Although the Formdrill process goes back several years in Europe, it is seen as an innovation in North America. Veteran machinists at trade shows are amazed at the simplicity of the demonstrated assembly process and think back about all the nuts and bosses they welded over the years. Some even refer to the wasted time and costs they could have avoided.

The Formdrill process is so simple it is elegant. It involves a carbide conical tip (Formdrill) that heats up the material by friction into a super-plastic state enabling the Formdrill to push through and form the hole and displace the material into a bushing that generally triples the material thickness. This additional wall surface is then threaded, eliminating the need for welded nuts, bosses or inserts. This bushing is also used as support for brazing or as a bearing wall in rotating shaft applications. It can be used on most drill presses, milling machines or CNC systems. The only parts required are a tool holder, a collet and the Formdrill. Each Formdrill will perform from 8,000 to 10,000 cycles in mild steel, a little less in stainless steel, more in aluminum and copper.

This will become the preferred drilling method because of its demonstrated ability to reduce costs from 50% to 90% when compared to conventional methods. The savings come from the fact that overall cycle times are reduced and consumable costs almost eliminated. There is virtually no post-process cleanup. The joints created have exceptional torque and pull-out strength values that equal or excel the welded nut equivalents.

Formdrill has emerged as the market leader using its extensive hands-on experience as users and manufacturers of these tools. It continues to do research and development alongside with its customers, universities and independent laboratories. It combines all this knowledge and experience with a heavy investment in automation to produce the most efficient thermal drills with the lowest prices in the market.

Their automation extends into its website and the way it sells and configures the tools for each application. Check out the Wizard at www.formdrill-usa.com. Simply enter the type of material, the material thickness, the type of thread and the diameter. A complete listing of the tools and accessories complete with the price is provided. Formdrill accepts online payments.
