When facing quality demands that are constantly increasing in today's machining industry, the ROTA NCS is a forward looking development that ensures the user a maximum degree of security in investment. The ROTA NCS sealed 3-jaw power chuck from SCHUNK combines high clamping force with maximum precision affording sound workholding for the most difficult of applications.
Walter USA LLC reports that its Tiger-tec Silver CVD-coated cutting tool material offers extreme toughness for high thermal shock resistance and enhanced wear characteristics at high machining temperatures.
The requirements for quality assurance have increased with 3D technologies. Previously all major dimensions could be taken from a 2D drawing for tactile measurement which is no longer the case today. Modern 3D drawings include little in the way of explicit dimensions. The curves of the free-form surfaces are almost impossible to verify, using traditional tactile measurement techniques. Wenzel/Xspect Solutions Inc. is providing new advanced 3D measuring technology to solve these measuring issues and their new Shapetracer laser line scanner is quickly becoming a preferred solution.
Giles Gaskell, North American sales manager for 3D Imaging Products for Wenzel/Xspect Solutions says, "For anyone who is looking for portable 3D imaging technology for reverse engineering or inspection, the MobileScan3D system provides the quality and repeatability of a CMM-based laser scanner in a portable and highly flexible system"
