Unlike conventional microscopes, the eyepiece‐less technology built into the Lynx EVO from Vision Engineering overcomes the ergonomic challenges faced with binocular microscopy. Operators experience both optical and postural ergonomics giving them ease of use with less physical strain.

Thomson Industries Inc. has built upon its selection of miniature metric precision ball screws to include three common interface styles: flanged, threaded and rounded. This comprehensive offering equips customers with even more options when designing small-space applications.

Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) and Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) optics that are manufactured to specification for FLIR, surveillance, military, and medical applications are available from Laser Research Optics. Laser Research ZnSe and ZnS Optics are custom manufactured to ISO-10110 specifications in sizes from 0.5” to 5” OD and can be coated to achieve specific wavelengths from 7 to 11 µm for ZnSe and 400 nm to 12 µm for ZnS.

Fives offers the Landis-Bryant RU2 Fuel MGMT grinder. This high-precision grinding technology incorporates a modular multiple-surface grinder with extended flexibility to grind most complex components for fuel systems, valve and drive trains, bearings, aerospace and medical applications.

Tech-Etch specializes in the photo chemical etching of tungsten. Because tungsten is extremely dense, 71 percent heavier than lead, it is used in medical applications, including grids used to collimate and attenuate stray X-rays in CT scanners, as well as ID tags used in implanted medical devices.

Swiss ID burnishing tools by Elliott Tool Technologies are ideal for accurate sizing, low microfinishing and surface hardening of ID holes down to 4 mm. With the tool body completely inside the tool block, the new 5918 series features an adjustment knob which protrudes from the rear of the tool shank, thus allowing the burnishing tool size to be adjusted for diameter without removal from the tool block.

In many industries, such as medical and pharmaceutical technology and production, contamination and air purity is absolutely essential. Any contamination can have a damaging impact on products and processes, and incur a range of costs and loss of profits. The e-skin corrugated tube from igus is now available for use to provide a safe, high-strength and flexible energy supply system without generating airborne particles which can contaminate the environment.

Suhner introduces the Rotomax flexible-shaft machine, a unique unit with interchangeable hand pieces that allow a user the freedom to perform a variety of machining operations with a single machine. The Suhner Rotomax functions as an angle grinder, straight grinder, drum polisher, belt sander, tube polisher or die grinder, simply by changing the hand piece.
