Tapeswitch Corp. offers a full product line of trapped key power isolation and machine access solutions that is custom configured to your machinery power type, access point structures doors, hatches, gates, control panel lock-out, and power isolation operation and trapped key access lock-out component configuration.

From dual-clutch transmissions to the classic differential, modern transmission technology is a pivotal research sector in the automotive industry where designers optimize the functionality of gearwheels with new materials and altered geometries. These gearwheels are also required in ever larger quantities as the number of speed-gears in many passenger cars continues to increase. Laser welding is one innovation promoting effective processes and EMAG capitalizes on their knowledge in the production of transmission components with ELC series of laser welding machines that offer integrated solutions for processes with high output rates.

TIMS, an acronym for Tongtai Integrated Monitoring Systems, is a new software initiative from Absolute Machine Tools Inc. that was created between engineers and technology experts from Tongtai Machine Tools and FANUC.

Automatic tool changers, type CTM are suitable for applications on NC milling machines, vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, transfer machines, laser and plasma cutting machines.

Sandvik Coromant will introduce new insert grades for steel turning and cast iron milling with Inveio.

SICK has announced R/IR sensors for zero pressure accumulation applications.

GenSwiss has introduced the Multidec-Lube tool clamp system that permits optimum coolant jet positioning and drastically reduces setup time when employing high-pressure coolant delivery.

In today's market, it can be difficult for fabricators to compete when steel can be bought and sold at close to the same price as competitors. If a fabricator is currently using a burn table they have already experienced how much labor, floor space, and cost is involved with processing plate using older technology. Peddinghaus' solution to the burn table question is its newest plate processor, the HSFDB-C.

SGS Tool Co. has expanded its Multi-Carb high performance end mill offering to include metric corner radius options.

Chevalier's FVM double column VMC has an extremely rigid and stable structure base on oversized columns, extra-wide spacing of box ways on a slanted Y-axis and close symmetrical design of the Z-axis.

XL Box from SIC Marking has been designed to increase productivity at the workstation dedicated to marking and traceability of components.

Mahr Federal has built wireless data transmission into its family of MarCal Digital Calipers, making them available for the same price as a typical wired caliper.

Siemens Industry Inc. announced its new Sinumerik 808D Advanced CNC, designed for basic milling and turning machines.

Hexagon Metrology introduces the new TESA MH3D-DUAL coordinate measuring machine.

In response to increased industry demands for precision, Walter USA LLC has expanded its high-performance line of Titex X-treme DM micro drills with the addition of products in the 16xD and 30xD drilling depth ranges.

A full line of cotton fiber mounted points and Type 1 abrasive wheels that are ideal for a wide range of robotic metal finishing and surface preparation applications is available from Rex-Cut Abrasives.

Iscar Metals is introducing new small-sized cost saving inserts. In many turning applications, machinists tend to use larger inserts than are actually required for the machining parameters being applied. To fill the need, Iscar is introducing a wide range of ISOTURN small sized inserts, which provide an economical advantage regarding cost per cutting edge.
