SMIRT 2019 R1, the latest release of Vero Software's powerful viewing and manufacturing solution for the die-mold industry, introduces new on-machine inspection functionality and enhanced templating functionality for added process planning automation.

What is the main purpose for coolant application? Of course, among many reasons, primarily it's for the lubrication and cooling of the cutting edge and, in addition, to help facilitate chip evacuation. REGO-FIX has launched a cost-effective and efficient attachment for the application of coolant-lubrication liquids through the tool, based on an ER collet nut, which is suitable for use on SUHNER feed drilling units.

In cases where the cutting tool must be moved towards the workpiece, insufficient or not many practical solutions are readily available. This gap is being closed by the SUHNER robot machine tool program. One option is to bring the workpiece towards a standard stationary SUHNER machining unit.

Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. introduces FTA drum handling units. The FTA drum handling units are designed for loading, unloading, palletizing and storage of steel drums in nearly any size or configuration, including 30 gallon, 55 gallon and 85 gallon.

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced its AV450 Automatic Vision System. Versatile, accurate, fast,and American made, the new 3-axis vision system allows users to cost-effectively achieve high throughput in their inspection process, and is suitable for both repetitive, larger part-run applications and routine quality assurance.

Engineering components and parts manufacturer, WDS Component Parts Ltd. has extended its range of gas struts with new stroke lengths and options. The company can provide standard gas struts by overnight delivery or work with customers to develop bespoke units that match their application needs.

A circular connector is a coupling device built with a circular interface and cylindrical contact housing which comes with a huge variety of materials, sizes, contact layouts and types, and coupling designs. These circular connectors are commonly utilized for data, signal and power connections in the automation, manufacturing, military, aerospace and transit industries thanks to their rugged mechanical performance and ease of connectivity.

Weldcote Metals, a division of Zika Group, announced the availability of a comprehensive line of metalworking abrasives, many of which will be made in the U.S. at Weldcote's production facility in Niles, Illinois. The entire line includes more than 900 new SKUs.

JTM Products Inc. has announced a new line of full synthetic metalworking coolants. SynMAX coolants benefit from a radically different chemistry to exceed the performance of semisynthetic fluids but without oil and without the historical drawback of past generations of synthetics.

VersaBuilt Robotics, a Boise-based robotics technology company, announces availability of the VersaBuilt VBX-160 automation solution with the FANUC LR Mate 200iD7L. With a 7 kg (14.4 lbs.) payload and a 717 mm (28.2 inch) reach, the LR Mate 200iD7L brings a new level of performance and reliability to the VBX-160 from FANUC.

BEA Lasers introduces two new additions to its MIL Series of Laser Diode Modules for alignment applications. Both new MIL RA Alignment Modules feature a low-profile 3/8" rugged laser housing, fitted with a M12 connector. A PVC jacketed cable 2 meters long, integrated power supply and optional mounting bracket complete this sturdy ready-to-use system.

SKF and KISSsoft have worked together to create a new interface that makes it easier to develop gear units. When designing machines, engineers can select suitable bearings based on the very latest bearing technologies in the interface. This enables KISSsoft's customers to use these two calculation approaches: the usual ISO calculation, which includes calculation using the latest bearing data from SKF.
