How to Protect Machine Operators from Accidental Re-Starts Following Power Interruptions
Sensing-Saf-Start motor controls from Rockford Systems prevent accidental machine start-ups after a voltage drop or power interruption by automatically disconnecting power to the machine so that when it is restored, the machine will not start up even if the power switch is in the “ON” position.
Spindle Vibration Monitoring, Temperature and Gravity Sensing
The Artis VM-03 vibration monitoring module from Marposs
provides alarm output for acceleration in the form of warning, soft stop or hard stop, a temperature warning and a gravity value warning with registration of alarms occurring within +5 seconds of an event occurrence.
Injection Mold Clamping Magnets
Using proximity sensors for accurate positioning, injection mold clamping magnets from Techniks can be installed right over the existing platens to reduce set up time and take up less space, leaving room for fitting larger molds.
Grinding Steady Rests that Make Automated Part Loading Easy
For easy automated part loading, AS Grinding Steady Rests from Kitagawa North-Tech feature narrow retractable arms that prevent interference with oil hole journals and can accommodate eccentric throw with body modifications for crank lobe clearance.
Expandable Vacuum Chucks that Increase Production Capabilities
Designed for small parts work, Witte modular-style vacuum slot chucks from IBAG North America are ideal for light milling and drilling applications, including engraving for parts larger than 25 mm x 25 mm.
