Part marking systems are often integrated into lean assembly cells and custom automation equipment. Application of choice depends on the product material, functional requirements, budget, production rate, and end-use environment. Nine common marking processes include paint dot and hot stamp. Part marking systems are often integrated into lean assembly cells and custom automation equipment. While …
Business travel doesn’t have to be stressful. Maximize space when traveling for business and travel light. Join TSA PreCheck and Global Entry program. Travel has become difficult and even stressful. Sometimes it’s a lot of work just getting where you need to be for a business meeting, and your real job hasn’t even started yet. …
Verifying a component conforms to the dimension and tolerances specified by a design engineer is important. Dimensional inspection devices rely on a number of factors of which to use and lead to the correct equipment to use. Selecting the right dimensional measurement tool to produce the result you need is critical. When manufacturing high-precision parts …
Custom-manufactured components are defined by engineering drawings for consistent production. Drawings define the allowable tolerance of each dimension. Dimensional tolerances should be determined based on how the parts fit together and what the parts are intended to do. How much will a custom-manufactured component ultimately cost to produce? The answer depends on several factors. These …
KTC engineers helped to mentor St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute students. Faculty and KTC representatives worked alongside students to provide guidance in building a working robot. Students participated in First Robotics competition that attracted 50 high school teams. Engineers from Keller Technology Corporation’s (KTC) Buffalo location invested in the next generation by taking on a small …

KTC-supplied undulator for free-electron laser project was given the DOE’s “seal of approval” in the form of Secretary of Energy Rick Perry’s signature. Perry visited the SLAC National Accelerator Lab to see progress being made on the superconducting upgrade to the accelerator that powers the X-ray laser. KTC has played a key role in the …
KTC partnered with The LEAD Institute to complete a three-day Leadership Skills and Style Development (LSSD) for 13 of its current and future leaders. The Center for Industrial Effectiveness at the University at Buffalo trained 12 KTC employees on Root Cause Analysis. INSYTE Consulting Group performed LEAN101 refresher training for most of its North Tonawanda …
Object detection is a critical task in the automation industry. Industrial controls engineers and software developers need to know when an object or target has arrived at a particular location. The seven most common types of object sensing technologies include electro-mechanical, pneumatic, capacitive and photoelectric. Whether detecting the presence of an object passing by on …
Keller Technology has played a key role in the production of SXR and HXR undulators for an LCLS-II free-electron laser. Keller Technology has been involved with the LCLS-II program at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) for the past five years. Keller Technology has manufactured the mechanical systems, frames and strong backs, as well as integrating, …
