BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its newly designed GPL line of lasers for use in light industrial applications. The GPL series laser diode module system is best suited for general-purpose, medium-duty applications.

Based on the previous success of PCD drill type »PS« during burr and delamination free machining of fiber composites – also in combination with aluminum – so-called stacks components – Lach Diamond developed the PCD drill type »PS-plus«.

Ethernet POWERLINK is an open standard fieldbus for real-time Ethernet-based motion control created by B&R (Bernecker+Rainer Industrie-Elektronik) designed to give users a single, consistent, and integrated means for handling all communication tasks in modern automation. A POWERLINK network integrates all automation components such as PLCs, sensors, I/O modules, motion controllers, safety controls and HMI systems.

Milacron Holdings Corp. announces that its CIMCOOL brand released new CIMCLEAN cleaners and new CIMGUARD corrosion preventatives.

Walter has introduced three new Walter Cut GX Tiger·tec Silver CVD grooving and parting grades—the WKP13S, WKP23S and WKP33S—for use on steel and cast-iron applications. These have been introduced in combination with Walter's geometries UD4, UA4, UF4, RD4 along with plunge grooving and parting geometries GD3 and CE4.

PFERD miniature brushes for cleaning and light deburring give users a competitive advantage by providing highly repeatable deburring and surface-conditioning results on a variety of materials, from hard alloys to soft aluminum. The lineup of wheel, cup and end configurations includes stem-mounted miniature brushes that are ideally suited for the precision applications required in many industries, including electronics, medical, aerospace and jewelry.

SawGear, the portable, automatic lineal cutting system made by TigerStop, has added a more robust leg structure to its optional jobsite tables. The new table legs provide increased stability.

When manufacturing small components with a diameter of between 2 and 20 mm, the GRINDSTAR grinding machine from JUNKER offers an economical alternative to turning. From batch sizes of 200,000, short cycle times and a long workpiece service life can drive down costs per workpiece by up to 25 percent.

Weiler Abrasives Group introduced its new Tiger Aluminum cutting wheels, grinding wheels and combo wheels. Tiger Aluminum wheels have been designed with a nonloading formula that keeps them from gumming up, allowing operators to get more work done in less time—without compromising durability.

To prepare factories for an increasingly digital future, and to better support Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives, DP Technology is focusing on a range of solutions to drive automation in manufacturing. The ESPRIT CAM system enables manufacturers to streamline their workflows, prevent silos from forming during the manufacturing process, increase tool life and machine utilization, and create greater access to practical knowledge for process improvement.

The Hommel-Etamic Toposcan is a system used for measuring the surface of cylinder bores larger then 60mm in diameter. The Toposcan is capable of automatically measuring the size of porosity and blow holes, stroke reversal radius, laser pocket structures, roughness of bore walls, torn and folded metal and cross-hatch angles.
