The Takumi H12 CNC double-column machining center, designed for parts that require outstanding speed and accuracy, and unparalleled surface finish, delivers world-class performance for die/mold, aerospace and other high speed applications. The ladder structure and double-column design provide extreme rigidity and outstanding support to the head casting.
API has introduced its 6DoF vProbe, a hand-held tactile probing system, for use with its portable RADIAN Pro and Plus Laser Tracker range, extending their dimensional measurements capabilities to perform part inspections conventionally performed by large fixed coordinate measuring machines.
Integrating grippers with robot arms is often one of the biggest headaches when developing new robotic applications. A major obstacle is mismatched I/O signals between the end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) and the robot arm.
igus has developed a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution, the D3 dryve, for DC motor control that controls linear and rotary systems completely without software or a personal computer.
With an advanced solution that enables manufacturing companies to take steps towards digital machining and Industry 4.0, Sandvik Coromant has introduced connectivity capability to its series of Silent Tools toolholders. The innovation is offered as part of the company's CoroPlus suite of connected solutions for machine shops keen to embrace the rapidly advancing trend of industry digitization.
ARNO Werkzeuge offers its new AWL direct mount for Star Swiss-type machines. The toolholder system for turning or grooving tools (patent pending) has an integrated adjustable high-pressure coolant supply of up to 130 bar. When combined with the AFC quick-change system, users can increase productivity for Swiss-type machines because the system significantly cuts setup and non-productive times.
Sandvik Coromant is introducing its CoroBore BC (Boring Combination) range of products, comprised of TailorMade tools for high-volume applications. Using CoroBore BC, it is possible to perform different operations such as semifinishing and chamfering with a single tool.
Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division launched DPA Industrial, featuring the new C1 Camera in combination with the AICON DPA series photogrammetry measurement system. Designed to make photogrammetric measurement simple and rugged enough to allow inexpert operation in inhospitable workshop conditions, DPA Industrial is set to establish itself as one of the most accessible high-speed/high-accuracy measurement tools on the market.
The new EC-i 52XL 200W brushless servomotor from maxon is a powerhouse. When space is limited but high torque and dynamics are required, the maxon EC-i 52XL motor is a suitable motor choice.
Aerotech's XC4 PWM digital drive is a single-axis motor drive designed for brushless DC, brush DC, voice coil and stepper motors at up to 340 VDC operating voltage and 30 A peak current. All versions are compatible with the Automation 3200 motion platform utilizing the HyperWire motion bus.
