Plant engineers can now choose one CIRCOR coolant pump to handle pump outlet pressure needs from 0 to 100 bar. The Allweiler EMTEC-C three-screw coolant pump introduced last year handles even higher pressure applications than before, increases overall speed and efficiency, and offers manufacturers one simplified pump suitable for keeping abrasive machine chips, particles and heat away from cutting surfaces in machine tool coolant service.

Jergens Inc. announces its Quick Loc (QL) pallet system for fixturing solutions on horizontal, vertical and rotary operations. These low-profile adapters and pallets ensure repeatability of 0.0003″ and provide clamping forces of nearly 14,000 lbs. A single drive screw is used for fast operation.

ARNO Werkzeuge USA introduces its new Auto Fast Change (AFC) Tool Systems for Swiss-style machining. Manufacturing Swiss tooling since the 1940s, ARNO has comprehensive understanding of the needs and issues that machining operations face with their Swiss-style auto lathes and turning machinery.

The new Sunnen SV-30 honing series is the next generation in the line of Cylinder King machines. True to its heritage, it achieves expert results on engine cylinder blocks, cylinder liners and other engine parts that require honing. Six standard models include four step-and-repeat capability versions allowing automatic bore-to-bore processing for in-line and V-block configurations, reducing setup time and improving bore quality.

German Machine Tools of America, the North American distributor of BvL, has announced that it will now offer BvL's Niagara MO cleaning system. This two tank machine comes equipped with a flood spray cleaning system and revolving wheel technology. Optional ultrasound cleaning ensures a high level of cleanliness.

The latest release of VISI software includes a boost for reverse engineering, along with a range of new and enhanced CAD/CAM functions for the mold and die market. As part of a larger synergy project for reverse engineering and casting, VISI 2019 R1 introduces an extended direct interface to multiple portable measuring arms and Leica scanning devices from Hexagon. This, together with the enhanced dedicated module, provides a reverse engineering solution, as well as the ability to generate casting and stock models from VISI's existing modelling and machining environment.

SCANLAB GmbH adds even more materials-processing power control capabilities to XL SCAN, the combined solution for simultaneously controlling scan heads and XY stages. For specialized industrial ultrashort pulse (USP) lasers, these new features and algorithms offer control capabilities such as: constant pulse intervals, deflection-angle-dependent energy densities or controlled laser power settings. The virtually limitless scanned image field has proven itself in practice and demonstrably boosts throughput, e.g. in film processing, PCB drilling and large-scale laser marking.

TDM Systems has expanded its Shopfloor Management under TDM Global Line. With the TDM Shopfloor Manager, the customer can individually build and illustrate the entire tool workflow on the shop floor.

A lift-assist device designed by Cynergy Ergonomics has proven to simplify the manufacturing of wood and steel doors while significantly enhancing safety. This purpose-designed lifter allows a single operator to lift and manipulate 300-lb. doors through various stages of the manufacturing process.

Electro Scientific Industries Inc. announced the availability of its Geode laser-based micro-via drilling system for high-density interconnects (HDI) on rigid printed circuit boards (PCB). This new entry combines a CO2 laser and advanced beam control capabilities to deliver industry-leading throughput and accuracy from a system that is significantly smaller and lighter than current competitive offerings.

A full line of off-the-shelf products for face mounting components on a shaft, depending upon specific user design requirements, is available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. Stafford mounting shaft collars include flange mounts with six mounting holes and a keyway plus the Accu-Clamp nonmarring and perfectly square clamping feature for mounting a shaft, tube or pipe to a flat surface or for attaching components to them.

A new, dual-shackle dynamometer that has a 5 ton/100,000 lbs. capacity, is battery operated, and includes a wireless remote hand-held indicator has been introduced by Alliance Scale Inc.
