Machine builder makes intricate cuts with Spyral saw blades
Since 1986, the Bestway Products Company has manufactured a full line of saw blades that enable tight, intricate cuts that have helped Panafab create products cost effectively.
RTX Roundtracer Extreme
New motorized sliding axis, detector and detector holder gives it the ability to change the stylus angle, making it easier to perform inside diameter measurement of thick workpieces while avoiding interference. Roundtracer Extreme features best-in-class speeds with a maximum of 100mm/sec with improved positioning accuracy and greatly reduced positioning times compared with conventional models.
Design for manufacturing to produce critical parts
From rapid prototyping and design for manufacturing before the first part is machined to adaptable and scalable manufacturing and state-of-the-art metrology and inspection throughout the process.
NSK America names two territory managers
NSK America, a producer of high-speed precision machine tool spindles and hand tools, has named two new territory managers.
SSD with powersafe
The secret to the high performance of the "powersafe" feature is the combination of sophisticated firmware and hardware features. Highly reliable tantalum capacitors that store energy while the SSD is in operation form the basis. In the event of a sudden power outage, the stored charge is used to safely write both dynamic data and data in the DRAM cache to the NAND flash array.
6-Axis Robotic Stage
PI's hexapod 6-axis motion controllers and hexapod software are based on decades of experience with parallel kinematic motion systems. They are easy to program, allow the user to change the center of rotation with one command, and come with high level alignment functions built in.
ANCA showcases technology at GrindingHub
ANCA will showcase its technology range at the GrindingHub trade show in Stuttgart, enabling customers to grow capacity, improve profits and gain efficiencies.
Sandvik Coromant Canada names cluster manager
Magalie Jackson has been named Cluster Manager of Sandvik Coromant Canada.
Artec Micro Scanner
Artec Micro's advanced twin color cameras and blue LED lights are synchronized with the scanner's dual-axis rotation system to create a digital copy of your object with a minimum of frames captured. In addition, the Smart Scanning mode captures every surface of the object in the least amount of time, using an ideal number of frames.
AM110 Tungsten Carbide Rod Blanks
Hyperion's materials experts specially engineered grade AM110 to optimize the hardness, toughness and galling resistance required for machining superalloys in today's demanding industrial applications. Some of the targeted markets include aerospace, medical and energy, where quality and productivity are critical to manufacturing precision components.
CX-8/0 Rectangular Power Connectors
The rectangular power connectors series (CX-8/0) feature safe crimp termination. Compared to other rectangular inserts using the axial screw termination, the CX-8/0 series with crimp technology is more resistant to mechanical stresses such as vibration, shock, and strain on wire strands.
503-MLBR and 533-LBR Manual Clamps
The user-friendly new models allow for fast handling and enable their users to build up applications more efficiently with little interference contour. The 503-MLBR and 533-LBR clamps are fully interchangeable with models having the same specifications, other models are available upon request.
