Okuma OSP Virus Protection System
Okuma America Corp. offers OSP Virus Protection System (OSP-VPS) that embeds a virus scanning application programming interface (VSAPI) from Trend Micro for Okuma OSP-P controls (OSP-P300/P200A/P200/P20) to prevent infection by viruses from networks or USB flash drives.
CF270-UL-D Spindle Cable
Spindle drives are becoming larger and more efficient in the case of machining centers and machine tools. To guide higher streams of energy, larger conductor cross-sections are required. As a result, servo cables are becoming thicker with larger bend radii, and in some cases are going beyond the permissible space of the machine tool. A shielded single core cable, like the Chainflex CF270-UL-D from igus is an ideal solution.
Semifinished Products
iglide round bars and plates from the tribo-polymer specialist igus are becoming more diverse to facilitate user adaptations of individual machine requirements. Because igus semi-finished products are made of tested iglide bearing material, all respective bearings can be calculated in advance with the help of the specially developed expert system.
TRLF-100 3-D Carrier Cable
Energy Chain specialist igus has expanded its proven 3-dimensional cable carrier line, Triflex, with the new series TRLF-100.
Hybrid Servo Cable
igus has a single cable solution for servo motors and its program: the hybrid servo cable has an integrated hyperface bus element.
DryLin W Linear Guide
DryLin W from igus Inc. was originally developed as a lubrication free, inexpensive alternative to linear guide systems that run on ball bearings.
Hydraulic Weight Balancing
For large machining centers, balancing the weight of spindle heads and work piece tables pays off. HAWE Hydraulics develops unique solutions that are both energy efficient and durable.
