General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

The industrial standard mounts can be used across heavy-duty factory equipment, through to commercial applications and the marine sector. Providing the mounts as a complete kit speeds up parts specification and enhances ease of installation. With male and female threaded mounts, the new installation kit format comprises bolts in diameters from M3 to M12, as well as various shaft lengths to suit a variety of applications.

With the ANCA RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) regrinding solution, tools of various types and diameters and from different orders can be dynamically loaded, rather than having to sort them by diameter or customer as was previously necessary in mixed batches.

The CUT F 600's intuitive Uniqua human/machine interface (HMI) delivers optimal functionality and ergonomics with a 19" vertical touchscreen, full keyboard and mouse. For the utmost compatibility, Uniqua supports legacy file types from various EDM manufacturers, and with offline and at-the-machine programming, ISO-based functionality and object-oriented programming, Uniqua provides a powerful graphic tool with integrated CAM and also ensures compatibility with major CAD/CAM programs.

The threaded lifting pins GN 1133 and GN 1135 function similarly to the GN 1130 lifting pins, which have been a popular JW Winco product for years. These new pins are each secured in place by four spring-loaded threaded elements (instead of balls). Pressing the spring-loaded aluminum button causes the elements to retract into the pin so that it can be inserted into a threaded hole.

The transnational 'EuProGigant' project aims to ensure smart, sovereign use of data for production and bring this to Europe.

Get improved machining quality, higher availability and longer working life with hydrostatic machine tool components.

As big electronics players squeeze more functionality into smaller devices and printed circuit boards, new challenges are presented in applications, such as microdrilling.n

With the launch of the multiScan product family, SICK presents 3D LiDAR sensors that provide mobile platforms with a 360° all-round view in 3D. Due to the up to 690,000 measuring points, the multiScan100 achieves a state-of-the-art precision with which nothing in its environment escapes its notice.

The stock of operational robots around the globe hit a record of about 3.5 million units, and the value of installations reached an estimated $15.7 billion (U.S.). The International Federation of Robotics analyzes the top five trends shaping robotics and automation in 2023.

Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe went from being a specialist in high-performance motor sports to an open-market vendor of five-axis CNC machining.

The bumpers, commonly identified as RB-516 come in a variety of mounting options such as tapped hex shoulder and threaded, stud mount, and steel plate mounted. They come in black neoprene, white nitrile, or colored urethane. Diameters sizes run from ¾ in. to 2 ¼ in. with metric sizes available from 19-57 mm.

The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) recently issued new enforcement guidance that will make "penalties more effective in stopping employers from repeatedly exposing workers to life-threatening hazards." Here is some guidance.
