Tonight, I began my next Lego project. This one, I have to say, is probably the hardest. This is because it's a 3 axis CNC machine. The sole purpose of this project is to help me make more circuit boards for projects. I also think it's pretty neat to have a Lego CNC machine laying around. Anyways, after about two hours of hardcore tinkering and building, here's the progress. Feel free to comment or to give any recommendations!
The steps involved in a Kaizen Blitz event by Nemat, Inc. are:
Nemat Inc. Quality Assurance Policy is to meet customer’s specifications as noted on the products drawings and standards. We will strive to exceed these specifications if it can be accomplished without sacrificing cost or lead time objectives. All specifications MUST be communicated and updated in writing; hence verbal communications are not accepted.
This is accomplished by thoroughly understanding customers’ specification and developing a “Capable Process” to achieve them. This process is documented and is used as “Standard Work”. All employees MUST follow this process exactly to assure compliance with “Copy Exact” expectations.
Employees performing work are ultimately responsible to produce products to set specifications. A “Check-Do-Check” in process procedure is established to increase the possibility of identifying and correcting errors as they occur in real time. This process is implemented from Order Entry to Engineering/Programming to Production and through the Shipping processes.
The Quality Assurance Department is established to monitor adherence to processes and specifications for internal and contracted work. This is accomplished by developing quality standards and ensuring employees’ and suppliers’ adherence to such standards. All employees and Quality Assurance personnel are authorized to stop any non-conformance and escalate the issue up to and including the customer. Issues MUST be reviewed, root caused, and corrected expeditiously.
We guarantee conformance to specifications and stand behind the products and services we provide. Our performance reviews, reward programs, and disciplinary action policy are developed based on employees following quality standards and producing quality products and services.
Nemat, Inc. develops, designs, manufactures and markets high quality and competitively priced consumer products which are Made in the USA. This is achieved through our expertise in "Design for Manufacturibility" and "Lean Manufacturing"; as well as having a state of the art manufacturing facility with many capabilities.

Nemat Inc. is 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. We've been able to increase our business 30%-40% per year by implementing lean manufacturing, increasing quality and reducing cost. Continue to Main Page
For too long, amputees have had to use primitive hooks and limbs that attach to their arms or nubs. With new technology, however, that will all change. So far, these prosthetic and robotic arms have been able to perform simple, mundane tasks. As opposed to those tasks. Special robotic arms, as opposed to the other ones, can now tie shoe laces. This goes to show how dexterous these arms and hands really are. Even later on as new technology is introduced, these arms will just keep advancing until they match the human hand. Perhaps they'll surpass the human hand in the near future. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see it in action.
In the past, I have won one contest on instructables. With your help and click of a button, I may be able to win the cardboard and duct tape contest. My entry into the contest was the cardboard and duct tape laundry robot. The prizes for this contest include a shirt, duct tape, cutting board, jig saw, and utilities knives. What's in it for you? Well, I'll promise to publish a video tutorial on making robot duct tape art! Thank you and to vote, visit this link. http://www.instructables.com/id/Cardboard-Robot-Laundry-Folder/

If you thought Big Dog's extreme stability was amazing, think again! Now equipped with a high-tech robotic arm, Big Dog is able to hurl heavy cinder blocks over a few yards away. However, its not the arm doing all the work. With the clever designs from Boston Dynamics, this robot uses its legs to maneuver in a special way to aid its throwing arm. If you pay attention to the movement of its legs as it vigorously throws the brick, you'll notice that they jerk in unison with the swaying arm. Both its legs and arm work together and achieve great strength. A strength that can even hurl a big brick several feet into the air. Thanks for reading and follow us to stay updated in the world of robotics!

We all love our flat screens. But there's a company that's helping you view your favorite shows, at comfortable angles with its remote controlled TV mounts.
This technology is shipped around the world by Nemat Inc. in Madera and is the focus of today's Made With Pride in the Central Valley.
