Radial Arm Drill Presses
The #9680342 Radial Drill Press from Palmgren is the ideal choice for odd-shaped work pieces. The presses come with Palmgren's three-year warranty.
Magid FR by CarbonX
Ideal for protecting against molten metal hazards, Magid FR by CarbonX garments can withstand direct flame up to 20 times longer than competing FR garments without melting, igniting, or burning. Furthermore, thermal protective properties won't wash out or wear away.
Additive manufacturing amps up fuel cells, drives down costs
Mohawk Innovative Technology teams with Velo3D to boost efficiency and durability, taking 60% off the price of anode off-gas recycle blowers.
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.
S100 Grinding Machine
The S100 can be configured to meet each customer's individual needs. It can be equipped with up to two internal grinding spindles, or one internal and one external spindle. In addition to a fixed wheelhead, it can be supplied with a manual wheelhead and a 2.5 degree Hirth coupling.
TetraMiniCut Left-Handed Inserts
The series is now introducing TCS18 and TCL18 inserts designed for left-hand cuts, expanding the product lines that, up to now, has offered right-hand inserts only. Grooving and parting tools commonly used in most of the operations performed in conventional CNC lathes and Swiss machines are right-handed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
