INTEGRATION OF HYDRAULIC PUNCHING TECHNOLOGY WITH THE LATEST GENERATION OF INDUSTRIAL LASERS
Finn-Power offers the Finn-Power LP, the essence of which is the integration of well-proven C series 300 kN (33 US tons) hydraulic punching technology with the latest generation of industrial CO2 Lasers.
ONE FOR EVERYTHING – ALL AROUND MACHINE WITH COMBINATION TECHNOLOGY
Trumpf‘s TruMatic 6000 is the all-round machine of laser-punching combination machines. With the combined technologies of laser cutting and punching, increasingly complex fabrication jobs can be performed with greater efficiency and higher productivity.
THE NEXT ERA IN INTEGRATED, FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
Finn Power‘s new Laser Brilliance® combines their experience into an entirely new concept in integrated punching and laser cutting – offering manufacturing speed and accuracy surpassing all previous standards. Material handling is automated – not only loading and unloading, but also sorting and stacking of ready components are performed by a compact gantry robot.
PLASMA/PUNCH FABRICATING CENTER PRODUCES ALUMINUM PARTS FASTER THAN LASER
W.A. Whitney‘s 3400 XP plasma-punch combination machines have a proven track record of out-producing any other technology including standalone laser or plasma cutting machines. These machines continue to lead the way for manufacturers of farm, construction and mining equipment, trucks, trailers, rail cars, oil field, large transformer and switchgear, and many related industries.
ROBOTS OFFER IMPROVED CYCLE TIMES, PAYLOADS AND REPEATABILITY
Toshiba Machine?s TH Series has been upgraded to the TH-A Series of extreme performance Scara Robots. Consisting of three models, the TH650A, the TH850A and the TH1050A, these robots offer a 20 ? 30 percent improvement in cycle time (with higher payloads) compared to previous models.
IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, EXTEND EQUIPMENT LIFE, REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS
ExxonMobil‘s DTE 10 Excel Series is designed to handle the lubrication requirements of both industrial and mobile high-pressure hydraulic systems. Mobil DTE 10 Excel is an ideal lubricant choice for numerous industrial and off-highway sectors, including construction, energy/power, mining, general manufacturing, machine shops, and more.
PREDICTING DISTORTION
Go Figure: For Volkswagen and other early adopters, this new simulation software predicts welding distortions during early-stage conceptual engineering.
FASTENERS WITH PAIRED WAVE WASHER ALLOW CONSISTENT PIVOTING OF TWO METAL PANELS
PennEngineering® offers its PEM® SpotFast® fasteners, paired with a specially designed wave washer to allow reliable attachment of two thin metal parts in applications additionally requiring repeatable pivoting or hinging action. These self-clinching fasteners (Type SFW) permanently join the two metal components to create a flush-attachment connection without protrusions on either side.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH SPEED LASER ENGRAVING SYSTEM
Gravograph, Inc. offers the LS100Ex. With a marking speed of 2.4 m/s or 94.5 in/s, the LS100 Ex has a 60 percent higher performance than the previous generation of lasers. With a laser power ranging from 30W to 80W, it is an ideal solution for a host of
applications.
CNC CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR VERTICAL KNEE MILLS
Acu-Rite® offers MillPwr, a versatile two or three axes control/three axes readout system that satisfies the need for both manual and automated operations for milling machines.
FLEXIBLE CONTOURING CONTROL FOR CNC AND CYCLE LATHES
HEIDENHAIN offers the MANUALplus 620 that enables the machinist to quickly and efficiently program and machine workpieces without having to write NC programs.
BROCHURE DETAILS FULL COMPLEMENT OF WEB-ENABLED GRAPHIC OPERATOR INTERFACE TERMINALS
Red Lion Controls, Inc. announces the new G3 Series HMI Brochure, a 12-page, full color resource describing the company’s complete line of web-enabled, graphic operator interface terminals–from the value-priced G3 Kadet? to the full-featured G3 HMIs.
