He put the ‘Z’ in the Corvette Z06, he was a legend in the automotive industry. See now his last public interview. Because he and I are products of the College of Engineering at the University of Texas, although at different times, Harold Bettes and I had a common academic background and friendship. After a highly productive stint at a little (at the time) fledgling company named MSD ignitions while I was toiling at Edelbrock, he moved on to another evolving organization in Colorado Springs, Colorado, named the Superflow Corporation. It was here that he birthed the concept of annually bringing together a hundred or more persons in global motorsports (engine builders, parts manufacturers and related stakeholders) into an activity that grew much larger over time, bearing the name Advanced Engine Technology Conferences (AETCs), now sponsored by COMP Cams and a part of the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show in Orlando, Florida. Harold also formed a Hall of Fame segment in the AETC program. Each year, a single person was identified as having made major career contributions to motorsports and honored at the annual AETC banquet, culminating each year’s conferences.

Well I finally managed to get a video uploaded. Here is the latest work and expect more on Honda tractors, as I see there is little to be found on youtube about the liquid cooled models.
Ball bearing assembly process – www.fanucrobotics.com A FANUC M-1iA robot locates three different size ball bearings using iRVision and places them into a specific bearing tray. When all three trays are full, the bearings are released back into the picking bin. iRVision is then being used to determine the size and location of the bearing. With the combination of high speed and accuracy of the M-1iA robot and iRVision, the parts are placed into a bearing tray. The FANUC M-1iA is designed for small part handling, high speed picking and assembly applications. www.fanucrobotics.com FANUC Robotics America Corporation designs, engineers and manufactures industrial robots and robotic systems for a wide range of applications including arc and spot welding, material handling (machine tending, picking, packing, palletizing), material removal, assembly, paint finishing and dispensing. The company also provides application-specific software, controls, vision products, and complete support services. After 28 years of success, FANUC Robotics maintains its position as the leading robotics company in the Americas.
