EcoShield® 386 FD Water Based Micro Corrosion Inhibiting Coating is a force-dry version of Cortec’s top water-based anticorrosion coating, EcoShield® VpCI®-386. As such, EcoShield® 386 FD offers excellent corrosion protection at 1.5-3.0 mils (37.5-75 µm) DFT (dry film thickness). The advantage is that EcoShield® 386 FD force-dries in only 5-10 minutes at 150 °F (54 °C) and has good hot hardness, which keeps the hot coated parts from sticking together before they can cool down.

Using Alum-Renew prior to painting improves even distribution of high-performance resins through reduction of surface irregularities.  The kit allows users to try products of varying intensities before purchasing selected materials in production quantities. 

The TS 760 probe offers extremely high accuracy (±1 µm) and homogeneous switching behavior over 360°. And for 3-D measurement, the feed rate/probing speed of 1 m/min is four times faster than other commercially available products that offer the same impressive repeatability of (2σ ≤ 0.25 µm).

Highlights in hyperMILL® 2022.1 include a new break-edge function for contour milling, combined pocket milling together with a finish path allowing cutter compensation, and increased efficiency for 3D plane machining. The new automated 3D plane machining strategy improves machining quality by searching for suitable, high performance path layouts according to parameters including when adaptive pockets are present.

The anti-friction coating reduces radial distortion helping improve run-out. Parlec P3 ER collets have a repeatably accuracy of 0.0001” and are sealed for coolant pressures up to 2,000 PSI due to a special slotting design. Parlec P3 ER collets are available in ER11, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40 in inch and metric sizes and are meant to be used with on-size tooling.

Packed with new and established features that are available on Vision Engineering’s EVO Cam ll, the VE Cam enables users to do more within a smaller footprint making it ideal for many routine inspection tasks. The VE Cam is stand alone and does not require a PC, keyboard or mouse.

This media has a patented shape without any flat, parallel surface areas. On the one hand this unique design prevents media lodging in the work pieces, which can occur particularly in case of complex work pieces. Such lodged media can severely affect the finishing process and must frequently be removed by hand. On the other hand, the shape with its rounded surface areas allows the surface refinement of work pieces, which to-date could not be handled by mass finishing at all or only with very complicated operational setups. This includes components with difficult-to-reach surface areas like tight radii, undercuts, notches and slits, which can frequently be found in stamped and bent components.

AH3225 consists of the latest nano multi-layer coating technology with three major properties with excellent coating substrate adhesion for a high level of wear and fracture resistance. Integrating a dedicated carbide substrate with excellent thermal property provides the grade with increased thermal shock resistance and hardness reducing thermal crack generation on the cutting edge. This prevents unpredictable insert failure, significantly extending tool life and reliability for steel machining.

The standard A2201 is an offset adaptor for reduced radial forces, greater stability and provides more space between the boring bar and the bore wall for improved chip removal with very deep bores. With the A3001 and the A2201 Walter has increased boring bar diameters to 2.5-4-in. and 60-100 mm.

The EM-30 product series (153 Ball BGA, 100 ball BGA option available) complies with e.MMC-5.1 specifications and is fully downward compatible. With sequential data rates of up to 300 MB/s for read and 230 MB/s for write as well as 40 and 42 k IOPS for read and write random access, EM-30 delivers the performance of SATA SSDs, but with significantly smaller size requirements and costs.

The small size-04 inserts also allow TungForce-Rec04 to have a higher teeth density than conventional shoulder cutters of the same size, boasting two teeth for an 8 mm diameter cutter and three for a 10 mm. This allows TungForce-Rec04 to run higher feed speed than competitors when being fed at the same rate per tooth, enabling increased productivity.

Utilizing an innovative PVD coating combined with a proprietary sub-micron substrate, G-9610 provides added productivity for turning titanium-based alloys. The smooth and lubricious coating is wear-resistant and chemically-stable, which helps to protect the heat-resistant substrate and allows for higher speeds and extended tool life in continuous cuts.

N95 Respirators are designed to stay comfortable all day on the jobsite. These respirators feature two soft adjustable straps and a flexible nose bridge, providing users with a better fit. Additionally, the straps have a staple-free attachment method to the mask that reduces irritation from all-day wear.

In an extremely compact form factor, the 24-mm-wide EL7062 EtherCAT Terminal contains two stepper motor output stages, two digital inputs for limit switches and one encoder interface per channel for a wide range of 5 V encoders. Via parameterization, the EL7062 flexibly adapts to the connected stepper motor and its corresponding application requirements. With regard to the input encoder signal, the module supports the entire spectrum of TTL encoders (5 V differential, single-ended/open collector). Very high-resolution microstepping ensures extremely smooth and precise motor operation.

As WDS clevis linkages are designed to the DIN and ISO standards, this ensures fit across the widest range of applications. The range is also suited to new machines and retrofit with a design that allows for greater flexibility in alignment. The clevis fork and eye connection enables a margin of movement, which is particularly useful for easily linking two components in hydraulic and pneumatic applications where precise alignment can be challenging to achieve.

For job shops that are mass-producing small parts with Swiss lathes, minimizing material waste in the part-off process can be an extremely effective solution for cost savings. The 1.2 mm-wide (.047″-wide) grooving inserts can reduce the material waste produced by parting-off by up to 40% when compared with using 2.0 mm-wide (.079″-wide) insert. This translates to, after 2,500 cuts, the saving of a 2,000 mm-long (78.74″ long) bar stock. 

The TOP-Cut VAR line is now available in 4,5, and 6-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, stub, standard and long lengths in inch sizes, over 300 SKU’s in total. In addition, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA can provide custom variations or tool modifications of TOP-Cut VAR mills.  

Designed to highlight data usage and encourage time-saving workflow methods using clear-cut charts and graphs, the new StateMonitor V1.4.0 now offers even more benefits. One of the many new features often requested and now available in StateMonitor V1.4.0 is the ability to monitor tools within a connected machine. This now allows users to collect current tool usage data and avoid unnecessary costs due to premature tool replacement.  The new software also now can view countdowns for any programs running.

PBF is the most mature additive manufacturing technology for industrial production and represents 86 percent of the worldwide machine install base. PBF is used to build 3D parts by heating successive layers of powder, typically at the micron-level, and generally produces parts that require finishing with conventional CNC machine tools to achieve a high-quality surface finish. 

Production Manager seamlessly integrates with Hypertherm’s EDGE Connect CNC, to automatically capture machine data without the need for operator intervention. In addition, it displays real-time production data so team members across an organization can track the status of job orders, the production schedule, and pending inventory requirements.
