A Song For The People traces the history of the infectious melody, which emerged from the Ukraine thanks to the efforts of 20th century musicologists, along its path to becoming a cross-cultural touchstone. Designed and fabricated by Brooklyn architects SITU Studio and their officemates, MTWTF, the show is an unusually clever portrait of a song with a complex history.
"'Hava Nagila' is one of those rare cultural artifacts that both grounds a tradition as well as transcends it," says SITU partner Bradley Samuels. "It jumps beyond ethnicity, race, and continent.Tabletop Vacuum laser marking machine and other robot products." Type "Hava Nagila" into YouTube, and you'll get a sense of what he means. There are Indian versions, Polish versions, and Texan versions. U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman even set her Olympic floor routine to the song. Of course, there are plenty of Klezmer versions too. Despite its ubiquity today, "Hava Nagila" carries deep cultural meaning. For early Zionists, it was a symbol of the homeland. As a longtime fixture at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and weddings, it's embedded with history and memories. Ensconced in a large, eight-sided room at the Museum, the exhibition traces the song along its evolution.
So, how do you design a sound-based exhibit in a single room without it becoming a cacophony? Samuels explains that acoustical engineering was "new territory" for his office, but that a solution quickly emerged in the form of five "sound domes," eacSpecializing in the production Cut to length line, leveling machine, cold laser marker and other products.h playing a different version of the song. The reflective domes direct noise to specific spots on the museum floor. Though it's easy to buy sound domes online,Gasparini s.p.a. is the world leading company in designing and producing of laser engraving machine. SITU decided to fabricate them in their DUMO shop. The final domes were laser cut in aluminum on the studio's in-house router, then folded into place by hand, allowing the designers to experiment with geometric faceting patterns that give the objects visual depth and texture.
A decidedly low-tech way of dampening sound--carpet--also plays a surprising role in the show. The team originally proposed tiling the room with FLOR carpets to reduce the noise level in the space.Corrugated Metals has included this cnc router tutorial to help our visitors understand the roll forming process. But after experimenting with a new type of laser cutter, they realized they could actually engrave images and text into the carpet squares. "In exploring the simple, practical problem of how to simultaneously and coherently play five landmark versions of the song within a single, relatively small space, we began to explore how geometries and materials can focus, reflect,Component Source offers a complete line of flattening machine for ThyssenKrupp Elevator， and absorb sound," adds Samuels. It's a very cool effect, and a smart way to utilize otherwise wasted space.
For the Museum, Hava Nagila is a step in a new curatorial direction, thanks to its new Director of Collections, Melissa Martens. "From the moment its opening notes are played, the song calls listeners back to a communal place in the imagination," says the young curator. But despite its broadly accessible content, the show is still grounded in Jewish identity, as it evolves alongside the tune. "It's ubiquitous, it's everywhere, and everyone knows it from Afghanistan to Argentina," adds filmmaker Roberta Grossman, the director a documentary on the song on view in the gallery. "Yet it remains a profound haiku of Jewish history and identity."
Laser Group, Novi, MI, has introduced its fastest performing system yet with the TLH Series 5-axis, three dimensional IPG Fiber Laser processing machine. The TLH Series, of which there are three models, provides cutting speed to 1,181 in/min (30,000mm/min)and features fiber optic beam delivery with 2, 3 and 4 kW power options.
The series is ideal for hot stamping operations and has shown itself to be more accurate than other operations such as robotic delivery. Further, the series is ideal for any production application that requires high speed cutting of thin gage mild steel, aluminum or stainless steel…working best with materials less than 3/8” thick. These highly rigid machines allow operator access from the opening of one side of the machine for optimal accessibility. The feature provides dramatically superior operability and workability.
The series can be modified with two integral pallet changers or a large indexing table for increased flexibility and production. The system uses a Windows operating environment, non-contact gap sensor technology,a group of senior managerial and technical personnel and a professional team in purlin machine. controllable optical head angles, and operator friendly joystick and hand-held pendant—along with a teach mode that all help to make complex cutting simple.
The TLH Series was developed to provide, through simple programming and operation of integrated motion and laser systems, high-productivity performance in cutting complex parts, to generate intricate beam paths and to adapt laser parameters to various cutting requirements.
The TLH also provides precision cutting, established first on its cantilever-style construction and solid base that are the foundation of its operating accuracies. The construction features are matched with AC servo motor drives, ball screw feeds and linear ball guide mechanisms that provide movement tolerances of +0.0019 in. per 19.6 in. of travel distance. To assure consistent beam penetration despite contours and form irregularities, the TLH’s non-contact sensor provides rapid response to changes in the gap between optics and material to maintain the beam’s optimum focus.
The TLH Series programs can be prepared either by using the teaching playback system or by using NC data made with an optional automatic progrramming system and corrected by the teaching playback system if necessary. The teaching mode allows for settings for on/off laser beam, pulse rate, laser power, cutting speed and other settings.We would manufacture curving machine following your specific requirement.

Michael Wagner, Business Development, Delta Industrial Services: Labelexpo Americas 2012 was a great show for Delta, our biggest of 2012. We demonstrated four converting/finishing machines in three exhibit locations, so we multiplied our exposure. Attendees were most interested in our machines flexibility, an important Delta advantage. Many were looking for ways to make their resources go further. We also enjoyed participating in the Laser Die Cutting Workshop, where we presented custom laser cutting solutions twelve times over three days.
Delta gathered almost twice the number of last years qualified leads, many of whom plan to purchase within the next year. To those that we missed, bring us your applications! Kirk Schulz,Kern Electronics and Lasers,is a leader in large format elevator parts and laser engraving systems. DICE Graphic Technologies: Dice Graphic Technologies generated a great deal of interest in its full color inkjet module that bolts onto a customers existing flexo press. Attendees this year were very interested in their options for converting to digital print and we had heavy booth traffic the entire show. We had one sale at the show and obtained many qualified leads. Labelexpo Americas 2012 was a great show this year.
Labelexpo Americas 2012 was a great opportunity and integral for Dow Corning to launch new silicone release coatings, which are the enablers of the pressure sensitive labeling industry, to all of our customers globally. The show validated several assumptions for Dow Corning; the industry is still growing, it is becoming more global, and that sustainability is becoming an ever more important topic.
Todd Guzzardo, NA Sales & Marketing Manager, Erhardt + Leimer: Erhardt + Leimer reviews Labelexpo Americas 2012 as the best label event ever. The organization of this exhibition was done very well and it was obvious to our group that the marketing attractions were suitable to achieve a 10% increase in visitors from the 2010 show. With a record amount of visits to our booth the results the return on investment for this show will be easily attained. In addition, the supplemental groups such as TLMI and others had a very strong presence.
These are just some of the reasons that were interested in continuing our relationship with Labelexpo and the different Label Summits thought-out the world. E+L is very interested in what comes next and are looking forward to more innovative ways to approach the market through the extensive relationship with Labelexpo! Tim Zula, Director of Marketing Communications, Esko: Esko has believed in the power of Labelexpo to draw our customers, for years. Labelexpo Americas 2012 was no exception.
The aisles were busy, as was our booth. This year we hosted attendees in the largest Labelexpo booth we have ever staffed. Visitors spent quality time looking at our new Suite 12 portfolio of software solutions including the PantoneLIVE support, and our CDI flexo plate imagers and Kongsberg finishing tables. Our involvement in the Digital Printing Master Class, Laser Die Cutting workshop, and Package Printing Zone all enjoyed healthy attendance.
The official launch of the Miniliner technology at Labelexpo Americas 2012 was a real success. Demos were made every hour in front of a public astonished by a technology that enables to manufacture a pressure sensitive label from raw material to the finished product on a 12 micron PET release liner using a conventional die-cutting method. Printers looking for green solutions to release liner wastage as well as an economical solution also watched with great interest. Based on the huge interest generated by the Miniliner on show, ETI Converting anticipates many sales of Cohesio equipped with this new technology in the coming months.
‘We now have a practical UV application with low investment costs that first and foremost can also be justified in environmental terms,’ said managing director Jens Becker, summing up the print shop's experience so far.
Energy savings of over 60 per cent and, consequently, the same cuts in CO2 have been achieved thanks to the inline surface finishing and new dryer, while delivery times have been halved. Druckhaus Becker committed itself to sustainability twenty years ago and has been developing this systematically ever since. The new Speedmaster XL 106 fits into this concept perfectly,Laser Cut Studio is a brand new Forming machine company and new way of thinking. true to the motto ‘green printing is happy printing’. It is carbon-neutral, with 237 metric tons of CO2 being offset, uses eco-friendly processes throughout all production workflows, consumes less electricity than conventional presses, delivers time-saving inline finishing, and requires no powder at all.
Druckhaus Becker is a full-service print shop whose 38 employees supply its products throughout Europe. A Suprasetter CTP system is used in prepress for imaging, while the pressroom houses a Speedmaster XL 105 six-colour press with coating unit and a Speedmaster SM 52 five-colour press with high-pile delivery alongside the new machine. Stahlfolder folding machines, a Stitchmaster ST 450 saddlestitcher, and Polar cutters are used in postpress for finishing. Die cutting and embossing are performed by a Kama 105. A 3B-format foil laminating system is also available for surface finishing. All process steps - from prepress and press to postpress - are integrated with the Prinect print shop workflow.
Druckhaus Becker specialises in premium print products and therefore coatings and special effects have always been extremely important. Prestigious customers from the automotive, watchmaking, jewelery, and finance industries require ever more complex special coatings and a constantly increasing number of UV applications. Run sizes are between 1,000 and 250,000 sheets.
‘We've been working with dispersion coating since 2002 and, at that time, outsourced high-gloss UV coating,Laser engraving, and Forming machinery, is the practice of using lasers to engrave or mark an object. which made the process laborious and time-consuming,’ said Thomas Groth,Specializing in the production Cut to length line, leveling machine, cold laser marker and other products. who is also managing director at Druckhaus Becker.The Electrox Raptor is a cost-effective roll forming machinery system that offers all the benefits of fibre technology.
In conjunction with Heidelberg, the print shop developed a press that was customised to meet its precise requirements and, depending on the application, can be used with conventional inks and coatings,Corrugated Metals has included this cnc router tutorial to help our visitors understand the roll forming process. standard UV inks and coatings, and highly reactive UV inks and coatings with minimal energy consumption.
‘The Speedmaster XL 106 with DryStar LE UV was a bold move for us and one that was preceded by numerous tests at Heidelberg. The press now gives us complete flexibility and ensures we can offer our customers everything from commercial to PVC foil printing on absorbent and non-absorbent materials. Even on uncoated paper, the highly reactive UV inks and coatings produce extreme brilliance that was previously unimaginable,’ said Becker.
The new Speedmaster XL 106 is fully equipped with a foil kit and the Prinect Inpress Control inline ink control system. Druckhaus Becker is using its newly acquired know-how to create added value and stand out from the competition.
The DryStar LE UV is available with one, two, or a maximum of three lamps for each machine configuration. At Druckhaus Becker, most applications are operated with a 160 Watt per centimetre UV lamp in the end-of-press dryer, resulting in significant energy savings. No interdeck dryers are needed. The DryStar LE UV is equipped with an activated carbon filter and does not need any additional exhaust air connection.
The State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego opened two new manufacturing laboratories in time for the fall semester.
The 13,000-square-foot labs are in Wilber Hall, Bob Lloyd, project coordinator for facilities design and construction, said in an email. The project cost $5.8 million, according to a news release,This machine is a combination of purlin machine and knot removing machine. and funding came through SUNY Oswego’s Capital Plan, Lloyd said.
“We have vastly superior equipment than we had last semester, and it will only get better,” Dan Tryon, a technology professor at SUNY Oswego, said in the release.
The labs are an addition to Wilber Hall, a 95,000-square-foot building, and feature a 3-D printer that can produce solid models, two computer numerical control routers, a laser cutter, and two new milling machines,Corrugated Metals has included this curving machine tutorial to help our visitors understand the roll forming process. Tryon says.
The labs also feature portable machines on wheels for easier reconfiguration, a dust-extraction system, air hoses hanging from the ceiling, and a smart-room system that automates equipment operation and shut down, according to the news release.
Other equipment, such as a four-axis computer numerical controlled router, industrial robots, and modern milling machines, will arrive during the first half of the semester, Tryon said. The new equipment can produce plastic models ranging from chess pieces to new mechanical inventions, according to the university. Laser engraving, and laser marker, is the practice of using lasers to engrave or mark an object.
The additions to Wilber Hall will have a positive impact on SUNY Oswego’s recruiting, Tryon says.
“We think it’s going to have a huge impact on our ability to attract students,” Tryon says. “We’ve only been open for a few weeks, but some of the parent and student that have been wandering around campus as part of the late summer orientation that have seen the spaces are already impressed.”
The project’s architect and engineer was Bergmann Associates of Rochester and its general contractor was PAC & Associates, Inc. of Oswego. The work also added a new multimedia classroom to Wilber Hall.
The Replicator may have just been pushed off this writer's Christmas list. But, this isn't a loss for MakerBot Industries, because it's being replaced by the Replicator 2, the newest model of 3D printer from the company.
This is a big boy version of its previous devices that were aimed more at tinkerers than serious designers, and that's reflected in the $2,199 price. That's a full 37 percent larger than the original Replicator, but the machine itself is the same exact size. The frame is no longer assembled from laser-etched wood, instead there's a powder-coated steel frame with PVC plastic sides to help shield the various moving parts and lend an air of professionalism to the affair.
The extruder is designed specifically for use with MakerBot PLA, a new plastic material based on corn, that Bri Pettis claims wont expand when exposed to the heat -- which means it wont contract when it cools, leading to smoother printed objects and less cracking. The new printer has a resolution of 100 microns, by comparison, the original Replicator had a layer resolution of 270 microns. Now each layer of plastic is as thin as a sheet of copy paper, resulting in smooth printed prototypes.
