3/8 NPT HollowStream
With HollowStream nozzles, the liquid is supplied into the body of the nozzle creating a swirling action within a vortex chamber. This vortex produces the hollow-cone spray pattern when the precision nozzle breaks the liquid surface tension as it exits the orifice and into a controlled spray angle.
U.S. robot installations exceed pre-pandemic level
The World Robotics Report shows that robot installations in the United States were up by 14% to 34,987 units in 2021 -- the second most successful year for the robotics industry in the U.S.
Bystronic gets a ‘mega’ productivity boost
Bystronic Laser AG, working jointly with EMCO GmbH from Hallein/Salzburg, undertook a complete redesign of the machine frame machining process so that it could be carried out by EMCO Mecof's Megamill high-gantry milling machine.
Abrasive Technology names managing director
Abrasive Technology LLC has named Guy Topping as its managing director of Abrasive Technology Ltd.
Turbo MH140 Filtering Chip Conveyor
MH140 fits most machine coolant tanks, and the small footprint – no larger than a standard conveyor – saves valuable floor space. A unique frame design using high-strength materials enables the conveyor to withstand extreme loads, torsional forces and abrasion for trouble-free operation and long life.
Enclosures and Cabinet Parts
The consolidated range of enclosure parts includes a wide variety of locks, latches, and catches to suit all requirements. Quarter turn locks are frequently specified for enclosures thanks to their ease of operation while ensuring secure door closure. The device comprises a cylindrical body with a cam lever arm that secures in just a quarter of a turn. Simple operation makes them ideal for fast access to machine panels or general purpose lockers.
CAMWorks Barrel Tool Support
Barrel tool support was added in direct response to CAMWorks customer feedback and is beneficial for mold makers and manufacturers of complex parts in industries such as automotive and aerospace. As demand increases for lightweight components with higher surface finishes, barrel tools are leveraged by machine shops to improve productivity and surface finish of machined parts.
Lockable Indexing Plungers GN 814
Lockable indexing plungers GN 814 of stainless steel have the same basic functions as JW Winco's tried and tested selection of indexing plungers. What's new is the clever addition of a locking function for greater safety and security. This is accomplished with a lock integrated into the black plastic head. On types A and AK, the plunger pin is secured in the front position by turning the key 180 degrees and removing it.
3859 Easy-Cut Xtreme Trimetal Bandsaw Blade
The 3859 Easy-Cut Xtreme Trimetal Bandsaw Blade cuts "easy to cut" materials and difficult materials with the same blade; there is no need to change blades. This saves time and money by reducing blade inventory, operator labor and machine downtime. The 3859 also boasts a much longer blade life than bimetal blades. Its enhanced durability also means the blade can cut faster when needed.
ANCA signs distributor for portions of Mexico
Representatives from ANCA and Fravic Daunert signed a distribution contract at IMTS 2022 to sell ANCA products in portions of Mexico.
Flex3d Tubes
Developed with the latest laser cutting technology in mind, Flex3d Tubes takes into account the array of cutting options available. Users can program complete or partial chamfers on either end of a tube as well as create any type of contour including round, rectangular and triangular among others. Visuals, including full simulation capabilities, give a clear view of the cutting operation, identifying intersections and operations and allowing 2D geometry to be projected or surface-mapped onto the tube surface.
Puma DNT 2100 and 2600
The PUMA DNT Series is equipped with the most powerful spindle in its class, a redesigned turret body and live tool drive that guarantee powerful and precise machining and exceptional productivity. The design of the new machines focuses on convenient operation and easy maintenance.
