You know that right Canard? They figure out how many sprockets need to be accommodated on a conveyor belt, how to get all the gears to the sprocket at the same time, how many needle bearings each sprocket needs at that exact moment, and how many sprockets can be binned out to users every hour....right?
RE: Descartes Group - Canard - 08-22-2017
Not a fan of needle bearings myself. I'm a cross roller ring guy, myself...
