Dialight launched its new 72,000-lumen Vigilant High Output High Bay fixture, designed to deliver optimal illumination at mounting heights above 60 feet (18 meters).

PI's new A-341 hybrid gantry XY/XYZ positioning stage provides the framework for controlled precise overhead motion that is often sought after for 3D printing, assembly, pick-and-place, alignment, inspection and industrial automation applications. The A-341 HGS hybrid gantry is designed to combine maximum throughput with smooth and highly accurate motion in a compact envelope.

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) reached production capacity for its new MiR500 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in its first month. With plans in place to deliver all current orders by the end of 2018, including the 40 percent purchased by U.S. manufacturers, the Denmark-based robotics manufacturer announced it would double production of the MiR500 in November by hiring additional resources and optimizing production.

Schütte now sells its PC multiple-spindle automatics. Often, manufacturers need automatics that have greater capabilities. These include the machining of nonferrous metal or steel, a combination of heavy roughing and accuracy, simple programming combined with versatility and a single machine that performs several production processes. The answer to these challenges is Schütte's PC series.

Schütte sells the SCX multiple-spindle automatic lathe. In today's industrial production, more complex workpieces are being produced in smaller batch sizes and shorter life cycles. To remain competitive, manufacturers have to react quickly and flexibly to market requirements.

Responding to the increase in hybrid manufacturing, the latest release of Surfcam introduces a new Additive Machining module. Supporting the Direct Energy Deposition method, Surfcam now offers a dedicated manufacturing cycle which accurately guides a laser as it deposits material to form a shape. After that, the shape is machined using Surfcam's milling cycles to create the final component.

Standard and custom machined parts made from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for use in wastewater treatment facilities and similar harsh environments are available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Kennametal's latest weapon in the war on chatter is one that will have machinists everywhere saying, "I need that." The new boring system boasts the most effective antichatter mechanism ever developed by Kennametal, and also offers an extensive range of indexable heads and shank sizes.

SICK announces the launch of the deTec4 safety light curtain. The deTec4 is a new generation of safety light curtains. With protective heights of 300 millimeters to 2,100 millimeters and an IP65, IP67 and IP69K enclosure rating, the deTec4 is proven for use in harsh environments.

Cortec Corp. has developed a simple water treatment for use in cooling systems where low conductivity or low sodium products are required. Based solely on organic components, VpCI-648 does not contain nitrites or any halogen counter ions. At recommended dosages, VpCI-648 does not significantly contribute to the conductivity of water systems. VpCI-648 protects both ferrous metals and copper.

Hypertherm announced a minor version update of Rotary Tube Pro, software that makes it easier to design and cut tube and pipe parts with no 3D CAD experience required.
