Filter by Process Zone:
Force Measurement in the Palm of Your Hand
DFG Series basic digital force gages from Starrett are ideal for peak measurements in either tension or compression directions for quality assurance managers on the shop floor or in a research and development setting that performs batch testing on the move or in small quantities.
Flexible, Highly Efficient CNC Vision Measuring of Small to Large Features
Highly efficient and flexible, the Quick Vision Active CNC vision measuring system from Mitutoyo America uses advanced functionality to meet many contact and noncontact measuring needs in a wide field of view with interchangeable objective zoom lenses to meet the challenges of measuring small to large features.
Superior Handling of Large Parts
Ideal for high speed coating, dispensing, machine and press tending, handling and material cutting large parts, powerful MH50 II-series robots from Yaskawa Motoman can be placed in close proximity to workpieces and equipment to reduce floor space requirements.
A New Benchmark for Linear Modules
Ideal for clean environments, such as assembly and testing systems, the ELP electric linear module from SCHUNK has end positions that can be mechanically adjusted with a screw and the speed of extension and retraction is adjusted using rotary switches on the side of the unit. Speed can be automatically adjusted depending on extension weight.
HMC with Quill Adds Machining Power and Versatility
Ideal for oil and gas, construction equipment, and mining and farm equipment jobs, the HCN-16000Q horizontal machining center from Mazak uses an innovative double-column, quill-head design to perform both deep bore and milling applications on the same machine platform.
Smooth Cutting of Hard Jobs
Take a closer look at how these new cutting tools can help shops take the edge off their competition for tougher, higher margin jobs by increasing their productivity and reducing their operating costs when machining difficult materials.
TIG And Spot Weld Cleaning Systems for Perfect Finish Marking on Stainless, Aluminum and Titanium
Next generation Surfox 205 and Mini Surfox TIG and spot weld cleaning systems from Walter Surface Technologies replace time-consuming mechanical abrasion and other manual operations, and hazardous solutions such as pickling paste.
Thick Turret Tooling for AITS Machines
Laser-marked with a data matrix code on each compatible tool, the iSeries line of thick turret tooling from Wilson Tool is fully compatible with the Amada ID Tooling System to bring sheet metal fabricators even more thick turret tooling choices for their AITS machines.
How to Optimize Grinding Time and Cut Rates on the Toughest Materials
Ideal for heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, and surface preparation and finishing, Tiger Ceramic, Zirc and Aluminum, and Wolverine Zirc and Aluminum Oxide resin fiber discs from Weiler Abrasives provide aggressive cut rates and smooth finishes on tool steel, aluminum and any material in between.
A Significant Step Towards Complete Automation
With improved nesting, NC functions, user interface and help files, SigmaNEST X1.3 CAD/CAM software from SigmaTEK improves shop efficiencies in a significant step towards complete automation.
High Performance All-Electric Tube and Pipe Bending Machines
Ideal for automotive suppliers, the all-electric CNC 100 E TB MR tube bending machine from Schwarze-Robitec manufactures pipe systems up to 35 percent faster and more efficiently than ever with its Quick Tool Unlock rapid clamping system that reduces downtime and increases productivity with fast, easy changes of tooling.
Adding Safety to Common Automated Processes
The four-sided Defender Cell from Rite-Hite Machine Guarding restricts access and provides point-of-operation guarding around potentially dangerous automated and automatic processes, including stretch-wrap machine operations.
