Pad Printing with CNC (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

Though the robotic actions of these presses that uses Computer Numeric Control seems rather complicated, it allows simple setting procedures that enable several programs to be inputted into the machine. All actions are controlled by servo-motor drives giving a very smooth and highly controllable printing action, also giving stroke lengths to be infinitely variable to the dimensions of the machine. Manufacturers even claim that using presses with pad printing capability that uses Computer Numeric Control gives considerable energy savings to the industry.

The Computer Numeric system of control can be built on standard machines or modular assemblies that can be produced to suit any application. The degree of complexity is regulated only by the imagination of the designer of the product/s and the number of modules he wishes to use to complete his desired quota.

All of the elements of component manipulation can be achieved by combining with multiple closed cups, pad cleaning, varying pad-stroke lengths, alternative pad shapes and a lot more. This type of system is often used where items must be printed in line with other assembly processes, or for complex multiple prints on different surfaces.

The flexibility of a Computer Numeric Controlled press comes close to producing the ideal machine for a particular application. Although a CNC press is substantially more expensive than that of a conventional pneumatic press. If the workload can justify the use of a CNC press for the increase in investment, then the CNC press is well worth considering.

Although it is wise to not be carried away by the current technology at hand, it still must be a capable printer.

Pad Printing with CNC (part 1 of 2)

Pad printing is a process where a 2-D object is transferred into a 3-D object. It is done by using an indirect offset printing process that involves an image being transferred from the printing plate via silicone pad over a surface that is to be printed.

Pad printing is used on a lot of industries that includes medical, automotive, promotional, apparel, electronics, appliances, sport equipment and toys. Pads are three dimensional objects typically molded of silicone rubber. They function as a transfer vehicle that picks up ink from the printing plate, and then transferring to the thing to be printed upon.

Examples of pad printing are the printing of labels on the keys on a keyboard or the logo of a toy manufacturer on a Frisbee. The unique properties of a silicone pad allow it to pick the image up in a variety of surfaces such as a flat, cylindrical, spherical, compound angle, textures, concave surfaces or a convex surface.

In presses that uses pad printing with Computer Numeric Control (CNC), the substrate or a material that can be printed on, such as paper, film, plastic, fabric, cellophane, or steel, is stationary and the silicone pads are programmed to print one image at a time.

With a press that uses Computer Numeric Control, the substrate is stationary and the pads are all programmed to one image at a time to achieve a multicolor print.

Between March 2001 and August 2004, women lost jobs in a number of key industries. Women lost 347,000 jobs in information alone. In retail industries, women lost 367,000 jobs. The biggest lost will be in the manufacturing industry which cost women over a million jobs. These numbers are  just in the United States alone.

Unemployment rate among adult women workers rise faster compared to men workers. From  3.8 percent in March 2007 it went up to 4.6 percent in March 2008. There is also a significant effect on the wage of women compared to men. Women’s wages are more unstable than men’s wages.

Women have the tendency or risk of seeing large drops in income than men do. It has been culturally imbedded (based on gender analysis of events) that women’s income just fill in the disparity of men’s wage in terms of providing for the family. Thus women’s wage not being a major source of funds is more at risk of deduction.

In developing countries, women are facing poverty brought about by economic recession blowing out of proportions. With lack of work opportunities and immense poverty, women are forced to enter into prostitution and white slavery.

When economic recession hit in Asia in mid- 1997, women was the hardest hit by the crisis. Many women who have entered these industries come from rural areas because they could no longer sustain themselves and their families. Because of the recession, a lot of employees were released from their work. Women, carrying the burden of providing for their families were provided no other options.

Southeast Asian countries were deeply affected by the financial crisis and were left with social scars. Whenever economic recession or crisis similar to this happens, women and children bear the scars.

Insurance issues

Before buying any kind of insurance, shop first for the most competitive price. Prices radically differ worldwide. Get the physical address of your insurer, their toll-free number, and a direct point of contact while abroad, if any.

Determine how long you will be traveling and add two weeks to insure your lost luggage is covered. Read your policy carefully. You may not be covered in some areas. Be ready to pay for additional premiums if you want them covered. Be aware of rules on how and when these companies are notified in the event of a loss.

Regarding home insurance, most policies have a good comprehensive coverage, although insurance policies differ from country to country. Most travelers, therefore, are more concerned about medical and travel insurance as well as car insurance policies. Here’s a quick rundown.

Many insurance companies have different restrictions on benefits if travel is for an extended period. Many try to cover travel assistance, protection, personal accidents, losses, travel interruptions and others. The premiums differ according to the scope of your coverage. Read your policy carefully to find out exactly what you are covered for. Other countries have steep costs for emergencies, and they can be avoided beforehand.

In the United States, a car insurance policy has the usual provision line of “any other person while using such a car within the scope of the consent of the insured and his or her spouse”. This means anyone using the car with the owner’s (policyholder) consent is fully covered. There are exceptions and other restrictions, to be sure, depending from country to country.

As always, double checking your policy is a good practice. Also, provide a permission letter from yourself should you decide to let your home exchange partner use your car. This is for emergency purposes. Have him provide you of his valid driver’s license.

Lastly, be aware that travel and car insurance policies vary. Companies have their own restrictions. Some policies include home exchangers in their coverage by listing them as friends of the insured. Additional policies can be bought separately to insure your adequate protection.

Having these security issues covered and taken care of makes one’s vacation worry-free and enjoyable. And with all the advantages of a home exchange, what could be more satisfying than that?

Home Exchange – Security and Insurance Issues (part 1 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

How do I secure the safety of my valuables?
Will my insurance covers damages to my properties during the exchange?
Does my car insurance cover any damages in case of accidents?

Home exchange, like any other transaction, works like a two-way street. While someone is in your home, you are occupying theirs. You and your exchange partner have exactly the same concerns on everything – your possessions, damages, and possible accidents to your properties.

Fortunately, surveys showed that incidents on security in home exchanges are virtually absent. Local insurers and the police both agree that occupied homes are safer than those that are empty.

Some practical guidelines

The first rule is getting to know your exchange partner as thoroughly as you can. Aside from emails, phone calls and photos, you might want to chat with them in the Internet for a real-time face-to-face conversation, if possible.

You and your partner should be clear on some ground rules – locked rooms or closets, books or things that cannot be disturbed or moved, things to be carefully handled, etc. On certain cases, remove or lock away in safe places items of extreme value.

It is very good to discuss in advance issues regarding breakage or damages. Most people will agree to replace or pay for any broken item. Proper use of utilities and appliances need to be discussed in case of future accidents.

Some people also inform their trusted neighbors of their plans. The neighbors can keep an eye on their property, providing that extra level of mental comfort. They can help the exchange partner, too, if need be.
