General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

Stalybridge, UK-based engineering company Park Engineering has increased the size of parts it can machine and subsequently measure on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

KBC stocks Evolutions' 14" and 15" Metal Cutting Chop Saws, (7.1/4" models are also available), with a no load speed of 1550 RPM, a high torque motor, a cast aluminum base with integrated wear plate and bench mounting holes. They also have a quick release vise with square threaded rod for fast and secure clamping and 0-45 degree miter capacity and an attachable V shape block for clamping of round and square tube.

Eriez Round Spout Separators are available with manual easy-to-clean or automatic easy-to-clean functionality. The manual easy-to-clean design provides for a push/pull operation to strip accumulated tramp metal from the grates without physically handling the magnet. The automatic easy-to-clean version uses a set of pneumatic cylinders to automatically clean the magnetic grates at the touch of a pushbutton or timer control.

This simplified process focuses on the fundamentals every new ERP user needs to know to get started. No customization, no advanced functionality – just the basic, core processes that facilitate a smooth transition from the company's previous business management system to Global Shop Solutions. New customers that don't meet the requirements and prefer to launch their ERP system with more capabilities can opt for Global Shop Solutions' standard implementation process. These implementations require more preparation and often include advanced functionality and customizations, which can take additional time and resources for a successful Go Live.

Rigibore's "ActiveEdge" adjusts automatically from your measurement data, ensuring perfect bores with zero downtime. ActiveEdge tools are micron accurate in diameter (0.078 thou) so even the tightest of tolerances can be met effortlessly. Save money by increasing production and eliminating scrap, with ActiveEdge technology.

The Starrag site in Rorschacherberg in Switzerland is synonymous with highly productive, long-lasting machining solutions in the aircraft industry. This is what made this site the perfect choice for the Starrag Competence Center Aerospace.

The volume reduction of aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, steel and other types of metal chips represents a significant cost savings in labor, disposal, transport and storage. Jorgensen/SFH single and double-shaft shredders efficiently reduce chip size in preparation for centrifuging or briquetting. The volume reduction resulting from implementing a shredder also lessens the frequency of bin removal from a machine, giving a shop's employees additional time to focus on other more productive work. Jorgensen/SFH offer a variety of shredder size options constructed per a customer's material and desired chip output needs.

With the 4017A, Kistler is taking pressure measurement technology to the next level: the miniature absolute PR pressure sensor has a mounting size of only M5x0.5 and was specifically designed for maximum robustness and accuracy. Its oil-filled measuring cell is media-isolated by a stainless-steel diaphragm and delivers a very high level of media compatibility for both gaseous and liquid media.
