MRO & Maintenance Products

Air-bearings have no rolling or sliding elements and deliver frictionless, non-contact motion, resulting in negligible reversal error, better flatness, and minimal wobble and eccentricity. All these are ideal prerequisites for applications such as inspection and metrology, calibration, and scanning of high-end parts (i.e., infrared and precision optics, turbine blades, shafts and bearings) in industries like aerospace, aircraft, automotive, semiconductors, and photonics.n

The G4014-P groove turning holder makes it possible to change inserts in the machine – even where space is limited—in particular on long center lathes and multi-spindle machines. As a result, changing inserts is approximately 70% faster.

As a cost-efficient answer to continually increasing demands on the absence of burrs and particulate cleanliness, Ecoclean has developed the EcoCvelox system. Its modular design allows a custom configuration and subsequent expansion, at any time, of equipment from a single source to provide a combined high-pressure deburring, cleaning and drying capability. Cycle times of only 15 seconds per pallet can be achieved.

oelheld has been on the forefront of lubricant innovations for over 130 years. The company's R&D team in cooperation with machine manufacturers, universities and customers know exactly what to expect from water-miscible coolants and their challenges. Water-miscible coolants have many advantages over their straight oil counterparts, but they also have some well-known disadvantages such as corrosion (machines and parts), lubricity (tool life) and sump life (fungi, bacteria). This has been the motivation for the R&D department to break new ground and develop new products that guarantee that most of these disadvantages are a thing of the past. These expectations, special requirements and problems have been taken care of as a result of this extensive R&D work, which resulted in the development of the AquaTec 7655 coolant.

Corrosion may not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of preventative maintenance. Yet, it can be a critical part of keeping vital "nerve centers" going at any facility — making sure the lights stay on; the electricity continues working; and servers, phone systems, fire alarms and other electrical controls keep functioning. Electrical or electronic failures mean interrupted operations, downtime, repairs and extra costs. Fortunately, Cortec VpCI solutions require minimal effort with big returns on corrosion protection.

Greases are a regular part of maintenance and always will be. Moving parts and high-pressure points need lubrication to reduce friction and wear for smoother operations and longer equipment life. The difference today is that maintenance crews no longer have to rely on common petroleum-based greases but can opt for biobased options with lower environmental impact and superior lubricity. Cortec's broad selection of EcoLine greases make it easy to start the move toward greater environmentally responsible maintenance in any industry.

Whether it's a question about a maintenance job, a technical problem or a spare part that's needed, the new service app for IOS and Android makes it easy to contact the Service team directly at the relevant Ecoclean branch. The two-way, real-time connection via chat function and video telephony with live image transmission allows problems to be solved both quickly and efficiently.

Madison Chemical introduces Madison Green, a mildly alkaline, environmentally friendly, biodegradable general-purpose cleaner that is highly effective on greasy and waxy surfaces, such as floors, work benches and other equipment. This free-rinsing product does not leave a white alkaline film on the cleaned surface and has a pleasant wintergreen odor.

To guarantee continuous and consistent cleaning results, it is essential that cleaning can be planned. For this, a system has to function in an optimal way and fluctuations in the process or unscheduled downtimes must be avoided. A service concept that is tailored to the requirements of the equipment user and implemented in close cooperation with the manufacturer helps to achieve this. Therefore, Ecoclean has developed a wide range of services that can be individually combined.

Abrasive grinding and sandblasting are common ways to restore rusty metal surfaces and prepare them for painting. A much easier and very effective alternative is to coat the rust with CorrVerter, a water-based rust passivating primer from Cortec Corp.

EXAIR's Gen4 Standard Ion Air Knife eliminates static electricity 30% better at low inlet pressures, which saves compressed air and money. Production speeds, product quality and surface cleanliness can improve dramatically. It eliminates static on plastics, webs, sheet stock and other product surfaces where tearing, jamming or hazardous shocks are a problem.

Madison Chemical introduces Aluma-Cling Blue, a moderately acidic, thickened-gel formulation for cleaning aluminum alloys, especially bright, decorative aluminum with no brushing. This phosphate-free product has excellent detergency and rinsing properties and is ideal for 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys and stainless steel surfaces.
