Noah and Lloyd Graff recently interviewed Esben Østergaard, founder and Chief Technology Officer of Universal Robots. Universal Robots produces what it calls "cobots," low cost but powerful robotic arms meant to aid workers on the factory floor, rather than replace them. Most people can learn to program the robots in a free 88-minute online course.

Noah Graff recently interviewed Miles Free, the Precision Machined Products Association’s Director of Industry Research and Technology. He’s a guru of machining industry world politics and one of the world’s foremost experts on the steel trade.

In March when President Trump tweeted his intentions to implement a 25% tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum coming into the United States, Free was bombarded from news outlets around the globe for his analysis—he really knows his steel. 

He compared the tariffs to the economic sanctions on imports that the United States would inflict on an enemy like Russia or Iran. “Nobody would have dreamed that the White House would ever use an entire industry as a negotiating technique” Free said.

I've purchased a few machines from Graff-Pinkert. They have always been very helpful. They have always done exactly what they said they would do. They deliver machines on time and they have a great parts department. I'd recomend them for your next Wickman needs.
