Nemat Contract Manufacturing


.


We are a domestic supplier of high quality low cost CNC/Fabricated parts, castings, extrusions and assemblies to companies such as Parker Hannifin, Guardian Glass, Cardinal Glass, and Applied Materials Inc., etc. We have been able to increase our business 30%-40% per year by implementing lean manufacturing, increasing quality and reducing cost. We re-located from Hayward to Madera into a green field 40,000 Square Foot facility on 10 acres land. We have over 35 CNC Milling Machines and Lathes; including 5 CNC Milling Machines each with a bed capacity of 28 Feet. We provide complete manufacturing capabilities; including Fabrication, CNC Machining, CNC Tube Bending, Precision Welding, Finishing, Assembly, testing, etc. We were an integral part of manufacturing the architectural fixtures for the 9/11 Memorial site. We also designed, manufactured, and installed the seismic structure for the “Fastest Super Computer in the World” at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California in December of 2011.

Our mission is to use our team's strong Engineering and Technical expertise to develop state of the art processes that will meet and exceed customers' expectations by manufacturing quality products on time at a competitive price.

Playing catch with a humanoid robot? No problem!


.



Usually playing catch is played between two people. As of now, catch can be played with a robot. Developers at Disney Research Labs have created a humanoid robot that is capable of throwing and catching a ball with its hand. To start, a camera locates the ball, then the ball's destination is predicted. Once that is done, the robot's hand is positioned in the ball's predicted destination. Resulting in the robot catching the ball. To see a demonstration, click the video above!

Precision CNC. . . What is CNC?


.


Numerical control (NC) is the automation of machine tools that are operated by abstractly programmed commands encoded on a storage medium, as opposed to controlled manually via handwheels or levers, or mechanically automated via cams alone. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing tools that were modified with motors that moved the controls to follow points fed into the system on punched tape. These early servomechanisms were rapidly augmented with analog and digital computers, creating the modern computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools that have revolutionized the machining processes.
In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine via a postprocessor, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production. Since any particular component might require the use of a number of different tools—drills, saws, etc., modern machines often combine multiple tools into a single "cell". In other cases, a number of different machines are used with an external controller and human or robotic operators that move the component from machine to machine. In either case, the complex series of steps needed to produce any part is highly automated and produces a part that closely matches the original CAD design. [Text courtesy of Wikipedia]

Salt and pepper shaker robots available on Amazon.com


.



Too lazy to pass the salt or pepper? Don't worry, there's a bot for that. These two little bots are able to do just that. Designed with clever clockwork, these robots are capable of strolling across the table to deliver you salt and pepper. A tiny twist of their inner-workings and they're off to the other side of the table. The white one carries the salt and the black bot carries the pepper (obviously). If your interested in purchasing these robots, then visit amazon.com . Anyways, enjoy the demo video above!

A Little About Nemat, Inc.


.

Nemat, Inc

Nemat Management group is a United States manufacturer of consumer products, providing domestic Contract Manufacturing, as well as Engineering and Management Consulting services.

Nemat Management Group was established in September of 1994 in Aptos, California as an Engineering and Management Consulting firm.  The objective of the company was to provide “Design for Manufacturability” and “Lean Manufacturing” solutions to Top Fortune 500 companies to increase their profit margins.

In September of 2004, Nemat Management Group acquired Quality Precision Inc, (A CNC Contract Manufacturing Company) to provide clients with a Domestic High Quality/Low Cost Alternative to off-shoring.  This acquisition enabled the company to grow an average of 40% per year.

In January of 2008, with increased demand for company services, plans were developed to purchase property and build a 40,000 sq. ft. Greenfield facility and relocate the company.  The company also acquired 5 High Capacity CNC Milling machines to support larger size products for customers.  In addition, Nemat Management Group acquired Hi-Tech Precision in April of 2008 to add capacity to its offerings.  The new facility was completed in May of 2009 and all divisions of the company were relocated to the new facility.

In September of 2010, the Engineering Department was expanded to provide clients with Product Development and Design Services.  The company now has a New Product Development Incubator while developing and manufacturing consumer products Made in the USA.

Welcome to our new blog. We intend to post valuable information about our company and services, along with other interesting ideas, products and services. Thanks for stopping by!

"Cereal Killer," the automated cereal maker


.



If your too sleepy in the morning to pour yourself a bowl of cereal then this robot is here to help. Built out of Legos and controlled via a micro controller, this robot is perfect for when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Whether your too lazy or tired to make yourself breakfast, this bot will take care of it. To see how it makes breakfast, check out the video above. Other than that, thanks for reading!

The latest Call of Duty features robotic warfare


.



Today, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 was released all across the nation. In the newest copy/paste Call of Duty game, robots play a huge role. For example, the cheesy storyline is when the enemies takes control of America's robots, or as the trailer states, "gets the keys." The setting is also in 2025, which gives us a clue that these robots could be right around the corner. In the latest trailer, two quadruped robots and multiple quadrotors are shown. These two robots easily resemble BigDog. In addition, FPS Russia was showing off the quadrotor drones. Even though those types of robots can't carry a gun, I'm sure it won't be long until DARPA reveals one. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see the robot-friendly trailer!

ABB's new "Dragon" is the fastest industrial robot to date


.



The last time I wrote a post about a fast robot, it was related to the soda can challenge. Yet again, ABB has succeeded in making a fast and agile robotic arm. Dragon, as they call it, is currently the fastest industrial robot in the world. It's designed to make computer mice efficiently and productively. If you want to see this robot in action, then check out the video above.

Robot swagger

Even though Japan has robots like Asimo, the US has robots with swag.
