Filter by Process Zone:
Ultrasonic Thickness Gage with Temperature Compensation
The 38DL Plus with 38-Link wireless adaptor for connecting to the Olympus Scientific Cloud (OSC) saves time and money by minimizing human error and optimizing data management.
Handheld Sensor Reliably Measures Countersinks on Various Surfaces
LMI Corp.’s LaserGage HS742 3D sensor is a 3D laser profiler and that uses blue-laser technology and application-specific algorithms to overcome the challenge of measuring countersinks on solid, translucent, shiny, and opaque surfaces with repeatable results.
Updated Software Expands Force Gage Versatility
Ametek’s Chatillon DFS II Series digital force gage with ForceTest 2.0 software gives the operator a highly flexible testing system while additional functionality. The operator also benefits from live test graphs and data analysis.
Multiconfiguration Welding Workholder
Strong Hand Tools’ universal vises quickly and securely clamp stock of different thicknesses at multiple angles into place. They can be removed from the base and used separately.
Vise Kit Makes Automating Much Easier
Schunk’s Tandem PGS3-LH 100 clamping force block for basic aluminum and plastics machining has an integrated flange and comes with a console plate for easy mounting to machining tables, dividing heads, and clamping stations.
Workholders Enhance Productivity for More Than CNC Machining
Comprising self-centering vises, quick-change bases and mounting accessories, Mate Precision Technologies’ 52/96 zero-point product line can be used for inspection, CMM, cleaning, washing, assembly, and additive manufacturing as well as on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers.
Three Robot-Ready 5-Axis Vises
Kurt Workholding replaces HP-model vises with Precision Force (PF) MaxLock vises featuring a patented locking mechanism that holds parts securely, keeps them square with excellent repeatability, and are affordable.
Redesigned Insert Clamp Improves Rigidity
The toolholder for Horn USA’s Supermini grooving and boring tools applies a tensioning wedge to the insert’s face rather than circumference, increasing rigidity and repeatability.
Choose the Material that Will Provide the Strongest Grip for Your Workpiece
Dillon Manufacturing can manufacture soft or hard and full-grip special top jaws in a wide range of materials and configurations to ensure chucks provide maximum grip for an application.
Manual Swing Clamps Provide the Best of Both Worlds
Destaco combined the best features of pneumatic swing clamps and straight line action clamps to create a low-cost workholding option for fixture builders. The manually actuated swing clamps eliminate the need for air.
Small-Footprint Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) for Small Part Production
An economical option for small shops that need a second machine or additional spindle, all three models of Palmgren’s vertical machining centers (VMCs) have a 10-tool magazine with automatic changer and user-friendly portable handwheel.
VERY Heavy-Duty Horizontal Machining Center (HMC)
Ideal for the demanding aircraft, automobile, power generator, mold-and-die, and semiconductor industries, Niigata’s 5-axis HN80E-5X horizontal machining center (HMC) produces 1.65-ton parts almost 50 inches in diameter and 40 inches high.
