Mach TT
The Vargus Mach TT is a cutting-edge threading tool designed for superior performance in thread turning applications. It significantly reduces machining time and increases tool life.
EcoFilter 80
The EcoFilter 80 conveyor provides shops an additional option to Jorgensen's EcoFilter 200 that provides fine chip filtration to 200 microns and was the first competitively priced conveyor and filtration system for all levels of turning and machining centers. The overall design and footprint of both conveyors are similar with the significant difference being the increased filtration of the EcoFilter 80's filter cell.
TechniDrill 2.00-30-48
The TechniDrill 2.00-30-48 has a gundrilling diameter capacity of 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) and a maximum gundrilling depth of 48 inches (1219 mm). It features a 30 horsepower AC spindle motor and two-speed gearbox to provide versatile gundrilling performance. The workpiece is counter-rotated during gundrilling via pneumatically operated 3-jaw chucks, which increases the accuracy of the drilled hole.
MultiTOOL Program
MultiTAP tapping solution ranges from cut taps to form taps in different coatings, in addition to taps with extended lengths. MultiTHREAD MILL is an ideal general-purpose, cost-effective thread milling solution for job shops where part applications and materials frequently change. MultiDRILL™ features affordable, high-quality solid carbide 3XD and 5XD drills for manufacturers that have limited quantity production runs or operate in a job shop environment with many materials.
D1200 Datacenter SSD
The U.3 SSD is based on enterprise-grade 3D-TLC-NAND (eTLC), is backwards compatible with U.2, and has both a 4-lane PCIe and NVMe 1.4 interface. As a result, it achieves bandwidths of up to 6,900 MB/s for sequential reads and 7,000 MB/s for sequential writes. Up to 1.6 million IOPS for reads and 900,000 IOPS for writes are possible with Random Access. With support for up to 128 namespaces, D1200 provides high flexibility and efficiency for virtualizing cloud applications and managing data in data centers. Its endurance values are at least 1.5 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), when measured against a standardized workload (JEDEC Enterprise Workload) over a 5-year period.
Version 5.30 of dataFEED OPC Suite
With version 5.30 dataFEED OPC Suite offers the possibility to store process data in an InfluxDB for subsequent processing and analysis. InfluxDB is one of the most widely used NoSQL databases. It ensures extensive scalability, high availability as well as fast writing and reading.
TRIM C290
TRIM C290 is water-clear, low-foaming, and low-misting, contains no chlorine, phenol, nitrites, copper, triazine, or silicone and is PRTR compliant, with no SARA 313 reportable chemistry. Easily removed from parts for quick cleanup before assembly, painting, or plating operations, TRIM C290 is truly a joy to work with and manage.
Thin Dense Chrome Plating
The Iosso-FE process increases the hardness of the surface up to 72 R.C. and significantly increases the base metal life expectancy. The FE process provides smooth and consistent results, free from hydrogen faults, cracks, or blisters. You should also not expect any peeling, flaking, or spalling with our process. We provide one of the safest and most durable plating processes in the market, which is Rohs compliant and TCHP compliant.
Airbrush
The airbrush is easy to operate and merely requires the flow rate to be set. The airbrush works most accurately at a constant pressure of approx. 1-2 bar which is set individually.nThe airbrush is solid and robust, resulting in a long tool service life. The wooden handle facilitates ergonomic, balanced handling.
