Filter by Process Zone:
GRINDING WHEELS WITH SHARP GRAIN ALLOW FAST, COOL RUNNING
KBC Tools, Inc. offers their CGW Pink Grain Grinding Wheels. They?ve got a sharper grain for rapid stock removal, allowing you to run fast, and run cool. It?s perfect for those times when you need the job done right, and right now. The wheel is ideal for grinding medium- and hard-to-grind high speed steels and cast alloy steels.
DELUXE PORTABLE TORCH KIT HOLDS ESSENTIAL WELDING EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
TurboTorch’s Deluxe Portable Torch Kit holds essential welding equipment and tools. The Kit includes a durable soft tool bag, self lighting PL-3T tip, ergonomic torch handle, STK-R Regulator (CGA-600) and a 12 ft. hose. The kit also features four bonus items, a hose clamp, PL-4 tip, PL-812 heat shield and a Viper SX solder.
COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CLEANING LOW-PROFILE ITEMS
Wheelabrator offers its MaxMesh? Belt Systems, surface preparation solutions for low-profile parts and components that are typically difficult to process on a conventional roller type conveyor or tumbling barrel style operation. The mesh conveyor belt allows for continuous blast cleaning without the possibility of damage from part-on-part contact.
NEW COMPACT OSCILLATOR HAS ADVANCED CAPABILITIES
Gullco offers their new series of Compact Oscillators, which increase productivity and improve weld quality by producing a wide variety of precise weld patterns. The fully automated system incorporates Gullco?s advanced programmable control system which integrates a linear or radial weld gun motion with the adjustable speed of the KAT travel carriage.
MAGNETIC-INDUCTIVE SENSORS DELIVER ROBUST, RELIABLE, REPEATABLE DETECTION OF WELD NUTS
TURCK offers magnetic-inductive sensors for efficient and economic detection of weld nuts. These innovative sensors use signal attenuation to reliably detect ferromagnetic components such as nuts, bushings and spacer sleeves and ensure these necessary components are present before robotic welding occurs?with no additional software or electronics required.
CUT DOWN SET-UP TIME WITH THIS QUICK-CHANGE PALLET SYSTEM
Schunk provides new possibilities in automated production with the Schunk Unilock NSA SF Quick-Change Pallet System for small pallets. The compact module is the perfect connection to the machine table. The system set-up runs parallel to the primary processing times and outside of the machine, which dramatically cuts manufacturing down-time.
TAKE HIGH SPEED MACHINING TO NEW LEVELS
Okuma offers the MB-56V, setting the bar for efficiency and utility. Impressive thermal stability and zero table overhang allow for tight tolerances and extreme accuracy. The construction is based on solid FEM analysis and a rapid spindle traverse with Hi-G acceleration. A maximum machining volume of 1050/560/460 and the ability to add 4- and 5-axis capabilities makes this machine extremely versatile.
NEW TORQUE WRENCH PROVIDES EXACT CLAMPING OF LOCKNUTS
Haimer USA will feature its new torque wrench, which provides exact clamping of locknuts without influence of shear forces. The new ER Collet Chuck Torque Wrench clamps all standard ER collet chucks exactly and without over-tightening, which improves run-out and limits damages to small collets due to excessive clamping efforts.
NEW AUTOMATIC BAR LOADING MAGAZINE FEEDERS FEATURE UPGRADED DESIGN
Edge Technologies offers the FMB Turbo 2-20 and MiniMag 20, Automatic Bar Loading Magazine Feeders designed for feeding round, square and hexagonal bar material into CNC lathes.
REVOLUTIONARY TOOLHOLDING SOLUTIONS WITH HIGHEST CLAMPING FORCE
REGO-FIX® will display an extensive lineup of Swiss quality toolholding solutions. Their powRgrip PG system uses a toolholder and collet to generate the highest clamping force in the industry ? higher than any shrink-fit holder ? while still maintaining a T.I.R of less than 0.0001 in. The system is ideal for high speed machining applications.
QUALITY SHRINK FIT TOOLHOLDERS OFFER CONSISTENT AND HIGHLY REPEATABLE RESULTS
Lyndex-Nikken?s Shrink Fit Holders are quality designed and constructed for optimum accuracy, rigidity and balance. Featuring solid construction and Japanese engineering, these holders offer minimal variations of unbalance when changing cutting tools. Used in combination with a Shrink Fit Unit, Shrink Fit Tool Holders rapidly heat up to expand the inside diameter of the holder.
INDEXING CHUCK MACHINES MAKE PRECISION PRODUCTION OF IRREGULAR-SHAPED PARTS FAST AND ACCURATE
Hydromat offers the Hydromat EPIC R/T HS 16 Indexing Chuck Rotary Transfer machines, which produce precision metalcutting for cast parts, near-net shapes, profiled stock and standard bars. It?s designed with the flexibility and versatility to easily accommodate a variety of part families as well.
