The XC2 PWM digital drive is a small form-factor, high-performance, single-axis motor drive designed for motion control applications. It is compatible with the Automation 3200 motion platform utilizing the HyperWire motion bus. The XC2 can control brushless DC, brush DC, voice coil or stepper motors at up to 100 VDC operating voltage and 10 A peak current capability.

BLM Group USA has announced that its LT5 Lasertube can now be ordered with 2kW fiber laser capability for faster processing speeds. This entry level automated laser tube cutter is suitable for small to medium-sized round tube applications up to 120 mm (4.75-in.) in diameter and can process mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass and galvanized materials.

A full line of hand-held bevelers that feature extra-rigid blade locking systems and blades incorporating a radical chipbreaker to transfer heat without cutting fluids has been introduced by Esco Tool. Millhog Right Angle Bevelers feature the EscoLock wedge-style blade lock system which has a large clamping surface and double-threaded screw to hold blades rigidly.

High QA offers Inspection Manager quality management software. Hallmarks of Inspection Manager include its one-click architecture to automatically extract GD&T requirements from 2D drawings and 3D models, digitizes the prints with automatic ballooning, creates inspection plan reports, and stores all the information and measurement tools in a centralized database.

No. 824 is a 500° F (260° C) modified universal oven from Grieve, currently used for housing a vertical conveyor system at the customer's facility. 9 KW installed in Nichrome wire heating elements, while a 600-cfm, 1/2-hp recirculating blower provides universal airflow to the workload.

The HAIMER Microset UNO Autofocus tool presetter automatically focuses on the cutting edge so it can be measured quickly by the operator. This machine will minimize incorrect data inputs, since it locates the edge with one simple touch.

Walter has expanded its cost-effective, flexible M4000 milling cutter system with the addition of the new M4791 routing cutter. Capable of plunging in solid material and producing a true flat bottom, the new routing cutters have an application in both lathes and machining centers.

No. 1047 is a 350° F (177° C) bench oven from Grieve, currently used for curing plugs on the ends of cords at the customer's facility. This bench oven has eight drawers with dimensions of 6" W x 13" D x 6" H with removable insert to close around cord.

INDEX has announced that the iXcenter automation cell is now available with its C Series of turning centers. Docked to the machine and easily slid aside to enable unobstructed access to the work area, iXcenter supports fully automatic machine operation and flexibly manages raw material and finished parts.

BOLD Laser Automation Inc. announces the shipping of its latest digital manufacturing tools, trademarked the LPC1006 Digital Laser Stamping Platform. The LPC1006 is a production laser stamping tool that is coil and foil web fed for lights out operation. The LPC1006 enables rapid precision fabrication, to dimensional tolerances of ±0.001" (±0.025 mm), producing parts on thicker coil and thinner foil web materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and titanium.

Single Phase Power Solutions introduces the 30-hp Belle Single-Phase Motor, which uses Written-Pole technology to deliver clean 230V or 460V 3-phase output from readily-available single-phase utility services. The utility-friendly starting and operating characteristics provided through the use of Written-Pole technology minimize voltage sags and flicker on long single-phase distribution lines.

Jergens Inc. announces fixture plate machining kits and new receiver bushing plugs for its popular line of Ball Lock quick-change mounting systems. The machining kits consist of one fixture plate, four extra-long Ball Lock shanks and four spacers that provide clearance between the fixture plate and subplate below. This open space allows cutting tools to "break through" the fixture plate without damaging the subplate, making it possible to machine fixture plates while mounted to the same subplates they will be used with during production.
