Siemens offers a new version of its Safety Integrated (SI) function for Sinumerik 840D sI in the form of its Safety Integrated plus — software for integrated control solutions. Previously, completely separate programs had to be written for the NC Kernel (NCK) and PLC. Now, this will only be necessary for the PLC.

The Sinumerik Operate user interface has been further developed to enable even more easily manageable and intuitive operation of machine tools. This gives machine tool builders the opportunity to develop their own individual design in keeping with their corporate identity, lending machine tools a contemporary, distinctive look.

The KL-200 double-cut shears from Kett Tool cut cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, plastic and Formica without warping or bending the finished piece. The result is less wasted material, and a savings of time and money for manufacturers and contractors.

EXAIR's 1/2 NPT internal mix 360 degree hollow circular pattern atomizing spray nozzle atomizes fluid and sprays away from the nozzle in all directions, up to 13 feet in diameter. These nozzles are ideal where a liquid application is needed in a broad area, such as dust suppression, humidification and cooling.

Beckhoff announced the new EL922x EtherCAT Terminal series, which directly integrates electronic overcurrent protection to safeguard 24 V DC system components in the EtherCAT I/O system. In comparison with currently available protection devices, costs and space requirements in control cabinets can be reduced without having to use conventional, inflexible stand-alone systems.

The newly-released version of WorkNC from Vero Software introduces two important new tools to the portfolio: a direct modelling CAD system and a Robot Module, making offline programming of robots easy, even for inexperienced users.

Nowadays, more and more products are being manufactured from stainless steel and higher and higher requirements are being placed on the surface finish of these products. In the process, a problem has appeared that does not seem to be spectacular at first glance, but ultimately causes high costs: extraneous rust.

SST introduces the SST 4200 tool presetter for boosting efficiency and profitability in high-precision part manufacturing. Built and designed to exacting specifications, the SST 4200 equips shops with improved precision through tool measurement accuracy of ±0.003mm (0.00012 inches), and user-friendly features that help eliminate human error.

Emuge Corp. has announced the launch of a carbide step drill program that features new drill–chamfer tools available from stock in real-time online at www.emuge.com/products/drills/ef-c-drills. Users can quickly and easily select from a full range of stock sizes, including the ability to order customized lengths available in less than 4 weeks.

The new release of Vero Software's powerful high-speed CAD viewer and analyzer, WorkXplore, can now import files in batches. The software was created to efficiently import and analyze all file types and sizes at high speed.

Seco Tools offers Secomax CS300 ceramic inserts and cutter bodies to boost productivity in milling and turning operations with heavy interrupted cuts on nickel-based heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA). The new cutters increase productivity by up to eight times over standard carbide milling and are ideal for machining a range of components for aerospace and power generation turbine segments, according to the company.

Vision Engineering announces the launch of the Camβ, a portable, hand-held magnifier for magnification on the go. The simple, easy-to-use magnifier will take over from its predecessor, the CamZ.
