PlainsCapital Bank Target of Cyber Robbery

Is Your Bank Watching Your Back?

In the cyber world, bank robbers carry keyboards; not guns. And, you will be surprised to learn that not only have banks been alerted by many regulatory agencies, many are still ill-prepared to prevent it, and may not return your money if it's stolen from your account.

In November 2009, PlainsCapital Bank in Dallas, Texas became the target of a cyber robbery. Cyber robbers exploited the vulnerabilities in PlainsCapital Bank's Internet banking system and initiated fraudulent wire transfers and automated clearing house (ACH) transactions and transferred money from one of Hillary Machinery Inc's commercial business accounts to multiple financial institutions and individuals in the US and overseas. Even though the transactions were not actually authorized by a representative of Hillary Machinery Inc and inconsistent with Hillary's specified and/or normal banking practices, the bank still allowed them to occur...........read more


Manufacturing Is Officially in 'Growth Mode'

December marked the fifth consecutive month manufacturing nationwide has been in growth mode, even if the up-tick won't impact Oregon for at least a year. http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2010/01/04/daily5.html


Texas Manufacturing Holds Steady and Outlook Improves Further

Texas factory activity was flat in December, according to business executives responding to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The production index, a key indicator of state manufacturing conditions, came in close to zero in December, suggesting output held steady after growing in November for the first time since July 2008....http://dallasfed.org/data/outlook/2009/tmos0912.html

Making Your Existing Machine More Capable! More Productive!

More Profitable!

  • Adding a Rotary Table increases programmable axes to 4 or 5, increases accuracies by reducing part handling, and increases productivity by reducing cycle time and providing greater efficiency by reducing labor costs. Equip your VMC for as little as $9950 Installed. (Learn More)

  • Adding a Hydraulic Collet Chuck to your increases tool clearance making your turning center more capable; increases accuracies are achieved through greater gripping force, and higher productivity is attained from higher speeds and greater tool forces. Add a hydraulic collet chuck for as little as $1000 (Learn More)

  • Adding a Manual Steady Rest to your CNC turning center enables higher tool forces through increased part support while increasing accuracies and production at the same time. If your turning center doesn't having a tailstock, a manual steady may be able to support the end of a long part increasing the capabilities of your turning center. Add a manual steady rest for as low as $6,900 (Learn More)

  • Independent Air Chucks can increase the bar capacity of your CNC turning center by as much as 20%, sometimes more. Since an air chuck doesn't require a hydraulic actuator, the draw bar can be removed to make full use of the spindle's bore. The 2 chucks can then be interchanged as applications dictate. Independent Air Chucks can also be added to turning centers that do not have a power chuck of any kind which increases the machines capability and productivity. (Learn More)

  • Pallet Changers increase spindle utilization by as much as 95% by having a set up ready to shuttle into the machine. All part handling can be done while the spindle is in the cut. Pallet changers are particularly useful when the loading and unloading of multiple parts is time consuming. Manual pallet changers are very economical to add to a VMC. Automatic Pallet Changers are more expensive but sometimes fully justified. (Learn More)
