A new vision system from Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH is based on the triangulation method, which reportedly improves bin picking by ensuring greater accuracy, better component recognition and faster handling. The smart removal of workpieces from a random arrangement, so-called "bin picking," is a classic automation application. It provides higher productivity, less burden on human resources and lower unit labor costs.

Tungaloy Corp. announces the expansion of DrillMeister, a head-changeable drill series. The drill body line is now expanded to L/D=12 in addition to the existing L/D=8 range.

The TRAUB TNL18 series Swiss-style automatic lathes perform even more dynamically with an enhanced CNC, axis amplifier and more dynamic drives, resulting in significantly improved accelerations and top speeds. In extensive tests, the developers made sure that the mechanical conditions of the machine harmonize with the new dynamics.

A new laser measuring system provides repeatable measurement to 0.0001" and automatic machine compensation while reducing scrap during production of precision cutting tools. The ANCA LaserPlus is said to assure tight tolerances and grinding process stability.

To bring needed safety to the shop floor, Rockford Systems LLC has launched a new milling machine draw bar cover (part #DBC001) to protect vertical mill workers from rotating shafts 7 feet or less from the floor or working platform. It guards the turning draw bar with a non-rotating, smooth, welded-steel enclosure, secured firmly to the mill with a powerful ring magnet and safety anchor chain.

With the HBM540A, Behringer presents a fully enclosed, flexible, high-performance bandsawing machine. Based on its only recently fully reengineered automatic HBM440A, Behringer is presenting an addition to this high-performance machine series.

Specifically for cutting aluminium, the BEHRINGER EISELE GmbH with the VA-L 560 NC2 has a sawing system that reportedly sets new standards. Both in solid material as well as in pipes and profiles with sophisticated cross-sectional geometry, the machine scores with high output.

The Milwaukee Drill/Driver Kit is changing the way its users work through fastening and drilling up to 35 percent quicker than tools of the same caliber. The powerful, cordless tool boasts 275 lbs of torque. Its durable, lightweight design makes it much more efficient on job sites, increasing productivity and performance.

HEIDENHAIN Corp. offers the current version of TNCremo software package for communication between PCs and HEIDENHAIN controls or programming stations via direct online download. Past versions were only available on DVD.

The new GENOS M560-V vertical machining center from Okuma America Corp. combines a new high column design and CAT 40 BIG-PLUS spindle to cut large, complex parts. The large work envelope minimizes restrictions on workpieces, tool lengths and the rotary table.

The SHA-4000 from Sunnen Products Co. is a premium system for high-volume processing of gears, turbocharger bushings, cartridge valve components and pistol barrels, among others. With the popular SH-4000 as a base, the SHA-4000 integrates Swiss automation to create an off-the-shelf, robust, high-production system that requires minimal operator attention.
