Action Bearing Announces Manufacturing Day Event
National Celebration of Manufacturing Includes Tours, Special Events
BOSTON, Sept. 30, 2015 -- Action Bearing, among the largest independent distributors of ball and roller bearings in the United States, looks forward to joining manufacturers and educators nationwide in celebrating National Manufacturing Day.
The company will open their doors from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on October 2, 2015, to invite the public to learn more about bearings, their applications and their process. Specialty parts on display will range from a 5mm bore to 360mm. Informal dress is acceptable.
The event will also feature complimentary refreshments and giveaways.
Rolling bearings are a fundamental part of most machines, and can be found across a wide range of industries - robotics, steel mills and processors, ski areas, food and beverage, automotive facilities and more. If you've driven a car or used a household tool, odds are strong that you've counted on a bearing.
"We're excited to host visitors and answer their questions," said Action Bearing President, Steve Katz. "We'll have the team on hand to talk about materials, managing load and speed, clearances, specialty bearings, how our process works - the whole story. We love taking part in events like Manufacturing Day; it gives us a chance to get people involved and show them what we do."
October 2, declared Manufacturing Day nationwide, opens the manufacturing industry to the public through educational programs, tours, Q&A sessions, digital presentations, open houses and more. Working in collaboration with STEM educators and participants like Action Bearing, the event aims to bring awareness and inspiration to aspiring engineers and their communities.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
