Hydraulic fixturing components provide size and durability advantages
Time-tested workholding allows a parts manufacturer to target other areas for improvement, if needed. Husky Corp., for example, needed space-saving hydraulic components when refixturing a dial machine with limited space for fixtures and conducted an extensive search 30 years ago for a solution, said Darrell Vilmer, senior manufacturing engineer – machine/fixture designer for Husky.
Transformer: 3D Printer becomes CNC Mill
In recent years the manufacturing world has seen numerous hybrid additive-subtractive machines. These generally are in the form of a 3D printing head combined with a CNC machining center: the additive is added. But creative additive enthusiast Thomas Sanladerer has come at the idea from the opposite direction: he has started with a 3D printer and transformed it to be able to function as a CNC mill.
SQUICH Spring Terminal Rectangular Connectors
Mencom SQUICH spring terminal rectangular connectors are known for their convenient tool-free solutions that significantly reduce the connection time by utilizing spring terminals with actuator buttons. The cabling time of the SQUICH connector can be 50% quicker than the screw-type connection and 20% quicker than the conventional spring-type connection.
Powermill Machine Center
The large Powermill machining center from Mecof, part of EMCO Group, provides users precision, high dynamics, operational flexibility, and cost-effectiveness in a massive travelling gantry 5-axis milling center. Powermill with its moving bridge structure, permits loading of large, heavy workpieces on the stationary work table from overhead or from either end of the machine, making it ideal for handling aerospace components.

125mm Vise and 96mm Drop & Lock Pallet
Jergens Inc. introduces its 125mm vise and 96mm Drop & Lock pallet as a universal quick-change solution. The two work together on vertical and horizontal machining centers, and significantly open up possibilities on 5-axis and multiple-axis machining centers for increased machining access and the quick changeover of both top tooling and machineable parts.
Robot workforce sees huge gains in quality, productivity
A growing global movement toward automation, and it comes at a time in China when demands for fair working conditions and wages have led to increased volatility, resulting in labor strikes in different parts of the country.
CCAT installs 20-ft, 135,000-pound Zimmermann machine
After being packed into 11 crates and travelling from Neuhausen, Germany to Baltimore by boat, and onto its final destination by truck back in December, a 20-foot-long, 135,000 lb. industrial machine from Zimmermann was moved into place over the course of several hours at the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology.
PROHT Ultrasonic Cleaning Tanks
PROHT ultrasonic cleaning tanks and housings are constructed of stainless steel with a Duplex stainless transducer radiating surface to significantly extend transducer life. PROHT tanks are available in sizes ranging from 12" by 6" through 36" by 24" and offer the same cleaning capabilities as more elaborate systems but at a lower price.
