Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced the expansion of its high throughput and accuracy HTA Measurement solution offering for aeroengine and powertrain applications. The new HTA technology packages deliver reduced measurement cycles and rich data sets for manufacturers looking to integrate dimensional inspection more effectively into their production processes.

Milltronics USA Inc. says its new SL-II series slant-bed CNC lathes are fast, accurate and affordable. The SL-II Series are available in three models: the SL6-II, the SL8-II and the SL10-II. Designed as machines that anyone in the shop can run, they feature Milltronic's latest series 9000 CNC, which can be programmed either conversationally or with industry standard G and M codes.

GTI Spindle Technology says spindle repair and rebuild is the heart of what the company does, and it prides itself on being able to handle any spindle that comes through the door. All spindles can be repaired, though the associated cost for some can eclipse that of a brand-new spindle. When this happens, GTI Spindle Technology turns to Peron Spindle for a replacement.

Precise Automation has introduced the PP100 industrial collaborative Cartesian robot. The PP100's unique mechanical design offers a lower price than most collaborative robots and reduces the overall costs of tabletop applications, according to the company.

Verisurf Software Inc. announced Verisurf 2018, the latest release of its popular measurement software for automated quality inspection, reporting, scanning, reverse engineering, tool building and assembly guidance. The new release includes many new features, all of which are centered around three key user benefits: Universal CMM compatibility, quick programming shortcuts and productivity features, and increased probing speed.

Klüber Lubrication introduces Klüberquiet BQ 72-72, a low-noise rolling bearing grease for long-term lubrication. The low-noise characteristic of this grease makes it suitable for applications that include rolling bearings in electric motors, fans, air conditioners, generators and belt tighteners in cars, electric household appliances and office equipment.

Absolute Machine Tools Inc., now the exclusive U.S. importer and distributor of EDMs and supplies from Yougar M&T Inc., has introduced the Yougar YGS CNC Moving Head series and YGS ZNC Manual series of EDM drilling machines.

JW Winco, Inc. offers GN 20 leveling feet in hygienic design, with mounting holes.

Eriez introduces two new metal detector/magnetic separator "Double Team" systems, which offer customers protection against ferrous and nonferrous metal contamination. In both of these system configurations, the metal detector and the magnetic separator work in conjunction to reportedly produce as close to a perfect product yield as possible.

No. 865 is a 750° F (399° C), three-zone conveyor oven from Grieve, currently used for curing coatings at the customer's test facility. Work space dimensions of this oven measure 30" W x 18' D x 15" H. 90KW (30KW per zone) are installed in Incoloy sheathed tubular heating elements, while three 1,500-cfm, 1.5-hp recirculating blowers provide vertical downward airflow to the workload.

The Speed Change pallet system from Pierson Workholding is a manual pallet changer designed to increase production by moving parts in and out of a machine tool faster than traditional workholding. The system's base provides 3,000 lbs. of locking power.

What if collaborative robots didn't just stop at collision but avoided collisions altogether? And while doing that kept performing the task they set out to do? That's the premise for Universal Robots' new trade show demo where a UR5 robot arm will pick "widgets" out of a feeder that moves around and is dynamically tracked by the vision-guided cobot. Using a wand, attendees interact with the collaborative robot prompting it to avoid the wand while attempting to reach the widget.
