China International Industry Fair 2012 is going to be held during November 6th through 10th, 2012 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Theme Shows will be held concurrently under CIIF 2012. CIIF 2012 will occupy 150,000 sq. meters as its display area and attract more than 1,800 exhibitors and 100,000 trade visitors.
Euro-me Shenzhen Trade & Development Co. will be exhibiting at the Industrial Automation Show (one of the themed shows) within the CIIF Fair. They will be located at booth number W1D001.EXAIR Corporation will be supporting our distributor by sending Neal Raker, Application Engineer to attend the exhibition with our Chinese partners. EXAIR products will be on display and available for demonstrations at the booth. If you have an application you would like to discuss, there will be plenty of people on hand to help you determine the best solutions.
Apple seems to be taking some heat about the Maps application on the newly released iPhone 5. In the interest of fairness, I feel compelled to mention that I’m such a dedicated Droid user that I even have the R2D2 model. I will, however, limit my “trash talk” to the following:
I will also freely admit that I don’t fully trust my Droid’s GPS all the time, either…in fact, I would advise against blind trust in ANY GPS, as evidenced by this video from the popular TV show, “The Office:”
Of course, GPS devices, and their forerunner, the “map,” have been indispensable tools since the dawn of the practice of navigation. Key to their effective use, though, is knowing where you want to go. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of helping someone with questions about which EXAIR product to use for a particular blow off application. We discussed both Air Nozzles and Air Knives – I emailed him the catalog sections on both, and I look forward to helping him select the best fit for the new machine he’s designing.
During our conversation, he mentioned that he was anxious to receive the catalog he’d requested, because, in addition to the design of this new machine, he was also party to his company’s energy conservation program, and was specifically responsible for finding ways to reduce compressed air consumption. That made me anxious for him to receive his new EXAIR catalog as well, because it’s a comprehensive, well designed source of information on our comprehensive line of well-designed products.
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will indeed take you there. If you DO know where you’re going, and want to get there in the most efficient manner possible, we have the “navigational tools” to let you do just that:
*You can request an EXAIR catalog, and we’ll mail one right out to you. If you have questions right now, select the option to have an Application Engineer contact you – you’ll get a call from one of us right away.
*www.EXAIR.com contains a wealth of information on our complete product line. There’s even a link for you to chat with an Application Engineer for “turn by turn” directions.
*If you’ve got a mobile device, we’ve “got an app for that,” as they say. This summer, we launched a mobile platform for our website. It’s available at m.EXAIR.com. Here’s a link to a great video tutorial on how to use it. I told you we were comprehensive.
So, regardless of your preferences, we have a wide variety of tools to help you navigate the course towards your goal of optimized compressed air use. If you’d like help with any of them, give us a call.
I’ve said before that one of the reasons I like this job is that I never know what the next technical assistance request is going to be. Yesterday was no exception, but curiously, the “great unknown” was a “remarkable similarity”: I got two calls, in a row, from customers who wanted to discuss E-Vac Vacuum Generators: Both had a pick-and-place application involving lightweight blister packaged commercial goods, and both expressed concern about getting enough vacuum to pick up the package by the irregularly shaped plastic blister, but not getting enough to deform the thin plastic. Both had even picked Vacuum Cups (they were different cups, so I knew the second caller wasn’t just duplicating the first’s efforts; they were indeed from different companies.)
While discussing the respective applications, we (go figure) even came up with the same size E-Vac. THAT’S where it – finally – got interesting. The first caller wanted to install the E-Vac directly to the suction cup, and his machinery could support the E-Vac independently. This made the In-Line E-Vac the obvious choice.
The second caller, however, wanted to mount the E-Vac to his framework, and run a hose to the vacuum cup. The Modular E-Vacs’ block design and series of mounting holes was ideally suited here.
Normally, when I think of versatility in a particular product line, I think of the variety of applications where we see a product used. Yesterday, I got a great new illustration of versatility. This is why we offer the In-Line, Modular (and while we’re on the subject, the Adjustable) E-Vac’s. A quick look through our catalog shows that we don’t really have a “one trick pony:”
*The Atto Super Air Nozzle uses just 2.5 SCFM and is popular for blowing dust from circuit boards. Our Large Super Air Nozzles generate up to 23 pounds of force, and can blow slag and chips from a 20 foot long pipe. And we’ve got 17 sizes/models in between.
Whatever your compressed air application is, I bet we have a product that will work for you, in stock, and available for immediate shipment. Try us.
