Greenerd will present unique hydraulic press application solutions at IMTS this year, including discussing an automated 30-Ton Gantry style hydraulic press which was built for an application requiring precise positioning of pins. A linear transducer mounted in the press cylinder enables a minimum depth to be programmed into the control to ensure proper pin depth has been achieved. The 25' long hydraulic press features automated gantry positioning with optical recognition of the distance between each set of pins to be inserted. The cycle can be initiated in autonomous operation where the gantry moves to each pin location and applies the set of tonnage on the pins. n

Another important feature in the latest release of the software is the New Part centering/probing function, which generates pointset nodes for any inspection machine or direct CNC part inspection on a milling machine. Additionally, a new Probe Inspect command creates and exports control points in the CAM project to feed a probing system. There are also specific improvements to part centering tailored for CNC machines with table palletization. n

The Centrifugal Disc Finisher comes in sizes ranging from 4 to 60 liters and most models come with a mobile frame, ideal for cellular & JIT production. A wide variety of additional features are also available including integrated ultrasonic cleaners, on board media storage, a direct compound feed system, and parts separation options.

With the goal of breathing new life into old CNC mills, or turning your mill into a CNC as a cost-effective alternative, SERVO Products Company (Eastlake, OH), a progressive designer and manufacturer of a broad line of manual knee-type milling machine tools and accessories since 1964, recently introduced their Orion CNC Retrofit package for knee mills and lathes. The CNC Retrofit kits; 1000 M (Milling) and 1000 T (Turning), provide quality upgrades while saving the customer money over purchasing a new machining center.n

The e-spool flex increases safety at manual workstations and operating panels. For quick installation of the cable reel, the developers opted for a worm guide. The cable is inserted in a few simple steps, and the e-spool is ready for use.n

Featuring a totally enclosed fan-cooled design in a cast iron frame, this proven design is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation in some of the most demanding environments and applications. Rated as a 75 hp, 460 v, 1800 rpm electric motor, this innovative design delivers 95.0% efficiency at rated load with a near-unity power factor. The NEMA 445T frame motor weighs about 1,920 pounds and draws just 170 amps at full load.n

This 32mm capacity machine (with the capability to increase to 38mm) has a new design that helps improve productivity and operating convenience. The standard 12 cutting axes includes a B axis for angular drilling and contour milling. In addition, the 10 station turret with half index capability provides 20 positions.

the GT-610 EZ has the ability to produce G-ratios that can exceed those of machines twice its size. When running super abrasives, a variable frequency drive on the work wheel spindle is available to increase wheel surface feet.

To cover the breadth of applications within the MRO segment, there are drills for general purpose machine and portable drilling. These include the popular HSS R10 series for right hand drilling and HSS L10 series for left hand drilling. Also included are the carbide DC series of center drills. There is a specific selection for sheet metal drilling and spot weld drilling. n

The RFP projects a fringe pattern onto the part surface and the probe's camera captures the variation in fringe pattern to build a point cloud of 3D surface data. The data cloud is then evaluated by the 3D metrology software to deliver the inspection results. Non-contact structured light inspection with the RFP delivers clear advantages over traditional tactile probing techniques for freeform surfaces and complex geometry, such as additively manufactured parts, aerospace blades and blisks, automotive cylinder head combustion chambers, and delicate surfaces not suited to tactile measurement.

A number of these productivity boosts have been achieved by reducing calculation time with EDGECAM 2021's enhanced parallel-processing capability. Two of the most popular machining cycles – Roughing and Profiling – benefit from improvements to the software's multi-threading technology algorithms. Three significant time savings: EDGECAM's world-leading high-speed Waveform Roughing strategy is now significantly faster when generating toolpath for both solid and wireframe components.

Applied FLEX-TRED is resistant to motor oil, detergent, hydraulic oil, and UV. It will tolerate steam and detergent cleaning and is essentially unaffected by climactic exposure and mild acid or alkali exposure under normal conditions. Die cut FLEX-TRED is ideal for application on gas/brake pedals, machinery deck plates, equipment steps and walkways, mowers, snow groomers, tow motors and forklifts, on platforms, scaffolds, cherry pickers, and ladders, and more.
