JW Winco Inc. offers GN 124.1 stainless steel magnetic quick-release pins. The GN 124.1quick-release Pins are used for quickly connecting various parts and workpieces that are made of materials like iron and steel. A neodymium magnet is recessed into the underside of the bolt and axially retains the bolt in its inserted position.

Thomson Industries Inc. has launched an upgraded RediMount option, a pre-engineered, modular adapter kit for seamlessly installing motors or gears in less than 5 minutes. The improved option is now the default for Thomson linear motion systems and precision linear actuators, and its capabilities are factored into optimal sizing recommendations generated through the company's Linear MOTIONEERING product sizing and selection tool.

Safety in design is critical to CNC milling operations end products, as well as to the machine's profitability. As the trajectory of today's new milling technology trends toward machines producing extremely high speeds/high rpm within a smaller overall foot print–potential safety issues can't be ignored. Loose tools moving fast could present the potential for a lot of damage to the machine and workpiece.

Anytime you change a tool, you're not making parts. Keep downtime to a minimum by reducing changeover time to mere seconds.n

High Torque retention knobs keep toolholders in balance.

Why resurrecting an old piece of iron with a new control may financially make sense.

Vimana Elevate software addresses both with customizable dashboards and personalized service.

ANCA second-generation PremierPlus technology ensures consistent and efficient tool runout. With three times greater clamping force, tools are held more securely when grinding, increasing the consistency of tool geometry across a batch of tools. As the clamping force is increased it means more force is required to open the collet. This is enabled by a hydraulic pressure intensifier unit at the rear of the PremierPlus Adaptor used for this purpose.

EXAIR's new Gen4 Ionizing Bar eliminates static electricity 25 percent better than previous models by eliminating larger static charges, faster. It has improved range and is effective when mounted up to 4 inches from a charged surface. Production speeds, product quality and surface cleanliness can improve dramatically.

JVL Industri Elektronik A/S introduces a new compact and slim stepper motor. The new ServoStep integrated stepper motor series MIS171 to MIS176 have a NEMA 17 42x42 mm flange and include controller with six different industrial Ethernet protocols, absolute multiturn encoder, closed loop and M12 connectors. This new motor family is based on the latest microprocessor and cooling technology and an advancement compared to previous designs.

CNC specialist NUM has significantly expanded its portfolio of motors for machine tool applications by launching a range of high-performance brushless torque motors. Employing innovative optimized magnetics, NUM's new TMX series direct-drive motors have an extremely low cogging torque. They are ideal for applications that demand very smooth and accurate rotation, especially at low speeds. Typical uses include direct-drive machine tools, rotary tables and radial positioning units.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced its DFC and DFG series of digital handheld force gages. Depending on the series, advanced automatic testing can be attained with the DFC force gage controlling a Starrett FMM digital force tester, or basic testing can be performed using the DFG gage.
