General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

Now you can cut through mild steel up to 4 times faster, without heat build up or burrs…and less secondary re-work with KBC and Evolution's Circular Saws and Magnetic Drills. Accessories available for Evolutions Magnetic Drills include: step drills, countersinks, mini cutters, annular cutters, and carbide tipped annular cutters.n

Plate heat exchangers are found in numerous industrial applications, and essentially use metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Their use is burgeoning as they out-perform conventional heat exchangers (often a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid) as the fluids being cooled are in contact with a much greater surface area, which optimizes the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of temperature change.

With KISTERS 3DViewStation, the staging of complex processes and products is very successful, as they can be quickly visualized in new perspectives, combinations or environments. Renderings are amazingly similar to conventional product photography and are more cost-effective in the medium term. Once CAD data from the design department is available, it can be used in further iterative processes in the future in a cost-saving manner.n

By detecting logical anomalies in images, HALCON 22.05 opens up completely new application areas and represents a further development of the deep learning technology of anomaly detection. Until now, it has only been possible to detect structural anomalies strictly on a local level. The new Global Context Anomaly Detection feature is currently the only technology that can "understand" the logical content of the entire image.

The ANCA Academy, the series of videos from ANCA that cover a different technical topic each month, has a new host. The third video in the series is called "Introduction to ANCA Software Applications," and introduces Hugh Ingham to the series.

These sleeves are designed to provide users with a comfortable fit and all-day protection. The secure tapered fit and silicone printed bicep band prevent sliding, reduce sagging, and limit material bunching and an elastic thumb loop keeps the sleeve in place when putting on gloves. To help users stay cool and protected while working in hot conditions, they have a moisture-wicking fabric that dries fast and are UPF50+ rated. The protective arm sleeves are constructed of a comfortable 4-way stretch material that does not restrict movement and allows a greater range of motion.

Ideal to handle the harsh demands of the Oil and Gas industry, BB-FZA2G allows for quick and easy setup of odd shaped pipe for threading and re-threading. Thanks to incorporating three jaws with axial adjustment of the centering position while also using three compensating jaws with extra long rapid and clamping stroke of 1.5", there is no need to re-shim the part. This enhances operator safety and greatly increases overall productivity.

Rush Machinery has appointed Tom Lebel as field service technician.

Big Daishowa Inc. has promoted Michael Herman to vice president of sales.

These guide rails are assembled from precisely matched components: linear guide rails GN 2492, the matching cam roller carriages GN 2494 and the separately available wipers of TPU plus the individual rollers with three different bore types. The exceptionally stable guide rails are produced in a rolling process and can be mounted using the typical bore pattern, even up to a rail length of 97.64 in (2480 mm).

Star SU has appointed Jim Perry as its key account technical applications engineer. In this position, Perry will provide application support to the Southeast and Great Lakes regional sales teams with a specific focus on PCD Round Tool products.

This comprehensive portfolio encompasses the full breadth of off-hand products used in this market — so there is a productivity-enhancing solution for every job. Tiger cup wheels are available with multiple grain technologies: Tiger Zirc for fast and consistent metal removal; Tiger SiC for controlled cut-rate on sand castings with burnt-in sand; and Tiger AO for consistent performance on cast iron.
