Benefits for users include highly rigid and dynamic piezoelectric measurement technology, digital data that is resistant to interference from disturbance variables, and end-to-end communication all the way through to sensor level. IO-Link technology supplies users with real-time data to monitor the condition of their plants and measurement chains.

The austenitic AISI 316L (A4) stainless steel receives its high resistance to chlorides and acids primarily from the chromium, nickel, and molybdenum constituents. This predestines the AISI 316L (A4) standard parts from Winco for use on ships and other offshore sites, in swimming pools with chlorinated or mineral-rich waters and, anywhere else that requires such thorough cleaning.

The EconoMaster drilling unit features low power and air consumption, adjustable motor housing, adjustable total stroke up to 4”, hydraulic feed control cylinder, J33 taper spindle end, 0-1/2” drill chuck, electric front & rear position limit switches, belt tensioner and chrome-plated quill.  Basic unit weight is 45 lbs.   

The GD8 geometry has been specifically developed for grooving along the shoulders and grooving of large diameters without interference of the insert with the finished workpiece. The VG8 geometry has been developed for finishing operations behind a collar.

The new system also ensures constant measurement accuracy with the shortest possible measuring times. Once the measurements are taken, feedback is directed right back to the machine’s CNC control unit, allowing tool corrections to be made automatically and immediately during the machining process.

A perfectly timed sequence becomes apparent for truck differentials, it consists of three individual parts before production starts: two housing parts and the ring gear. These each weigh up to 130 kilos (287 lbs) and have a diameter of up to 600 millimeters (24 in).

In the USA, Romi offers three models, the D 800, the D 1000, and the D 1250. All three are equipped with big-bore 40-taper direct drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut during machining.

Industrial Ethernet is the future step for the digitized factory of tomorrow. Many studies show that the world of fieldbus is stagnating, and the number of Ethernet nodes is increasing, with high double-digit growth rates. This is true in Asia but increasingly in Europe as well, and users are choosing CC-Link IE (Industrial Ethernet) technologies. These systems offer seamless data exchange on all levels of a production facility, from the highest control level to the manufacturing levels.

Entirely new features and updated technologies from the previous version, which can be used to further optimize machine vision processes. The bar code reader has been improved by an advanced decoding algorithm, which increases the decoding rate when reading codes with very thin bars.

ActiNav combines real-time autonomous motion control, collaborative robotics, vision and sensor systems in one easy to use, fast to deploy and cost-effective kit. The system requires no vision or robotic programming expertise, but is instead based on a “teach-by-demonstration” principle.

Based on successful microScan3 technology, the 2D safety sensor, nanoScan3, uses patented safeHDDM® scan technology. This enables the nanoScan3 to hold up well even in harsh or challenging ambient conditions. It is impervious to interferences like dust, contamination, and ambient light.

There is now a portable rigging kit designed to create stunning visual effects and suitable for moving sets, props, seats wagons, scaffolds, machinery, equipment and components up to 34,000 lbs. The compact kit accommodates heavy, awkward, and fragile loads up to 40’ long.

The D3 dryve controls simple linear or rotations axes with DC motors without any software or a PC. For more complex travels, such as with multi-axis robots or delta robots, igus offers the D1 drive, which is a control system for stepper motors, DC motors of EC/BLDC motors. The motor control system can be modified live or simply operated via a web browser.

Air-bearings have no rolling or sliding elements and deliver frictionless, non-contact motion, resulting in negligible reversal error, better flatness, and minimal wobble and eccentricity. All these are ideal prerequisites for applications such as inspection and metrology, calibration, and scanning of high-end parts (i.e., infrared and precision optics, turbine blades, shafts and bearings) in industries like aerospace, aircraft, automotive, semiconductors, and photonics.

The S wide is a dedicated solution designed to rapidly measure large sample areas up to 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in). It provides all the benefits of a digital microscope integrated into a high-resolution measuring instrument. Extremely easy-to-use with one button data acquisition.

Customization allows manufacturers to match abrasives to their application requirements to more efficiently process the workpiece.  Custom order available with industry-leading lead times.  A fully stocked Application Engineering Lab and assistance to determine best methods and tools are available. 

AH8015 consists of a nano-multilayered PVD coating with high aluminum content. This coating characteristic provides increased resistance against wear and built-up edge over existing grades, enabling long and predictable tool life during the machining of heat resistant superalloys and stainless steel.

ESPRIT 2020 features plentiful updates for Swiss-type machining. This technique is defined by its small, often intricate parts. Medical devices, such as bone screws, are typically manufactured on Swiss-type machines. ESPRIT’s 2020 update introduces or enhances support for 200 different Swiss-type machine models.

This laser scanner uses 3D reality capture. 3D reality capture is a process of scanning and capturing any site, for example, factories, buildings, crashes and crime scenes, in a 3D digital model, combining measurements and imagery. The model can be used for design and comparison purposes in various situations, capturing every detail with to-the-millimeter accuracy.

The Kurt pyramid workholding bundles facilitate clamping of three individual components in one fixture and completed in a single setup. The Kurt 45-degree design mounting surface is positioned so each vise provides maximum access to all machined surfaces and allows for enhanced spindle and cutting tool clearance.
