Dropped Objects: Hidden Risks and How to Prevent Unpredictable Trajectories

Dropped objects are one of the most frequent and dangerous risks in industrial work, especially in tasks performed at height. One aspect that aggravates this risk is that the trajectory of falling objects is not always linear. This unpredictable behaviour means that prevention and control systems must go beyond traditional measures.

BASIC GUIDE TO NUTS: CHARACTERISTICS, TYPES AND RULES

A nut is a hollow part, which is threaded internally and is used to attach to a screw in a threaded joint in a fixed or sliding way. It is used to hold and fix joints of removable elements.

Complete Guide to Standards and Selection of Bolts and Nuts for Efficient Mechanical Joints

Screws and nuts are used to fasten and fix joints of removable elements, therefore, if the helix of the thread is external, it is a screw and if it is internal, it is a nut. The most important part of screws and nuts is the thread.

Everything You Need to Know about Threads

A thread is a surface whose axis is contained in the plane and around it describes a cylindrical helical path (this is the name given to any curved line whose tangents form a constant angle (α), following a fixed direction in space).

Tool cases with foam trays: A great solution in installation and MRO operations

In the energy sector, whether in the installation of wind or solar structures or in power generation plants, fieldwork requires precise planning and the proper use of specialized tools. This article will explore the problems associated with not having an organized tool kit in this type of work, as well as the advantages of using tool cases with foam trays.

The Latest Advances in Floating Wind Structures

Floating wind has emerged as a promising solution for expanding energy production capacity in deeper offshore areas, where traditional fixed-bottom wind turbines are not viable. Thanks to innovation in materials, design and anchoring technology, floating structures are revolutionizing the offshore sector.

Energy Storage Systems (BESS): An Efficient Solution for the Energy Future

Energy storage systems (BESS) are technologies designed to capture and store energy from different sources, such as solar, wind, or from the power grid, for later use. This storage capacity is critical to balancing energy supply and demand, improving grid stability, and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources.

Everything You Need to Know About Acetylene: Properties, Uses, and Safety Information

Acetylene is one of the most important compounds in the chemical and manufacturing industry, used in a variety of processes due to its unique properties. In this article, we'll explore what acetylene is, what industries it's used in, the processes it uses, its associated hazards, and the safety measures needed to work with it.

Optimization and Organization: Applying the 5S Method in the Organization of Tools

Find out how to apply the 5S method specifically in the organization of tools, as well as the importance of having a single and close supplier to optimize the workspace according to the user's needs.

Why is tool inventory control important in turbine assembly?

Turbine assembly is a complex and critical process that requires precision and meticulous coordination. Poor management of the tools required for this assembly can trigger a number of significant issues that affect both the efficiency and safety of the project. Below, we explore the challenges that arise when you don't have proper inventory control and propose effective solutions.
