3D-printed metal parts go hypersonic
Purdue researchers use AM injector components from Velo3D to create Mach 6 conditions for a ground-testing facility.
Robotmaster 2023
Robotmaster 2023 bridges the gap between CAD/CAM and robotics by enabling seamless integration between a user's chosen CAD/CAM software and Robotmaster. This automatic integration eliminates the need to import and sync data for a 75 percent reduction in programming time. It also eliminates the programming errors that can happen when using a manual process.
Eccentric positioning system determines tool position and angle
A breakthrough ultrahigh-precision robotic machine tool positions an object anywhere in a 215 mm circle with accuracy, speed and controlled force.
GN 6226 Spacers
As the latest addition to the Hygienic Design product family, JW Winco now offers the spacers GN 6226. These standard parts easily avoid duplicate mounting surfaces, which are problematic and time-consuming in terms of cleaning and sealing. The HD product range, therefore, continues to grow, with new parts joining the existing range of knobs, U-handles, hand levers, indexing plungers, latches, cover sleeves, leveling feet and screws.
Ceratizit moves U.S. headquarters
To centralize operations and continue to better serve its customers, tooling supplier Ceratizit USA Inc. has shifted its official U.S. headquarters from Warren, Mich., to the company's Schaumburg, Ill., facility.
Delta3 Inline Spark Arrestor
Delta3 Inline can be used with a variety of dust collectors on the market, including RoboVent's new flagship dust collector, Senturion. It can be placed at the inlet of the dust collector (or other types of equipment) or inline with ductwork for the dust collection, ventilation or HVAC system.
Sandvik Coromant facility wins Best Plants Award
The award recognizes the world-class carbide manufacturing facility's operational excellence, customer focus, and ongoing employee engagement.
MIXO Right-Angle Modules
The MIXO right-angled high-current rectangular connector modules (CX-01YA) are designed to minimize space installation requirements with a compact 90° connection that removes bending of large diameter wires (up to 70mm2) and ensures reliable 200A rating performance. The main feature of this new module is the special insulating cover plate that can not only prevent accidental contact between cable lugs on adjacent modules but also save the nominal voltage rating of 1000V planned for the 200A modules while connecting the DIN 46235 pre-insulated crimp cable lugs.
ACU-RITE DRO203Q
Users of optical comparators and measuring microscopes and more will find this of particular interest as it meets the need for basic 2D metrology functions. The Q functions as an entry-level readout, providing the user with geometric feature construction, basic part view detail and data output via USB-C connection. This enables users to quickly gather the needed points, construct desired features, and export them easily over a modern interface.
CGTech demonstrates software advancements at IMTS
At the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2022, CGTech demonstrated its simulation software Vericut 9.3, which the company says boasts enhancements and new features to the core software to create smarter, more efficient manufacturing processes.
S Series Straight Plastic Caps
These S Series caps are available with a plain top, and many of the sizes are also available with a knurled top-collar, which makes them easy-to-grip and remove. In addition, the caps are also available in both LDPE plastic and flexible TPE.
