New and better tools for machining firearm components
Tools today are far superior to those used in previous firearm production methods, which provides the opportunity to combine operations into a single cutting tool, eliminating the need for additional tooling in the machine shop.
M&H R-400 Multi-Sensor Radio Probe System
The dual-purpose m&h R-400 probe system is the first tactile probe on the market that includes a built-in display. It provides status data at a glance, enables users to save or load settings, and makes it easy to switch between tactile-sensor and tool-setting functions. Designed for shop-floor flexibility, the system can be used as a radio probe by equipping it with a probe shank or as a radio tool setter by mounting it on a tool-setter base. In addition to offering flexible in-machine measurement functions, the probe can help cut costs by eliminating storage of replacement sensors, as only one device needs to be stored.n
Orders Controller 3.82
Available in two versions – Premium and Premium Automation (PA) – JOC works in conjunction with JETCAM Expert nesting software to streamline and automate the CAD import and nesting process. When ordering components customers can now specify a desired sheet size and material stock item on a per-component basis, which will override default settings. This gives customers feeding orders from MRP a greater level of control.
Automated measurements reduce inspection time and human error
A safe landing – with measuring technology from BLUM.
Glovius 6.0
Glovius supports all popular CAD formats including CATIA, NX, Creo and Pro/ENGINEER, SOLIDWORKS, SolidEdge, Autodesk Inventor, and STEP, IGES, and JT. Glovius enables users to measure, section, analyze, compare, and export 3D CAD data to STEP, IGES, and other formats. The new rendering engine in Glovius 6.0 significantly improves file open and rendering performance, resulting in improved visualization and responsiveness. The latest release improves picking and rendering of measurements, allowing users to measure STL, CGR, and other graphics file formats. Additionally, Glovius 6.0 features an improved export option with WYSIWYG enhancements, allowing users to export files as image snapshots, PowerPoint, 3DHTML, 3DPDF, and Bill of Materials (BoM) for easy sharing and collaboration. Users can also now protect IP and product design data by selectively exporting components in an assembly.
Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy Distribution Boxes
The AP series distribution boxes feature gaskets that ensure the waterproof protection rating (IP66/IP67) while the new galvanized steel captive cross-headed screws ensure easier installation. They are available in 7 sizes, which are supplied in the RAL 7040 textured APV version, unpainted APS version, and the black APW version suitable for extreme temperatures/salt environments. n
Roundtracer Flash
Based on side-by-side two-dimensional image architecture, this allows images acquired by different sensors to be perfectly combined to generate a single workpiece image containing no defects or gaps at stitching edges.Measures parts up to 300mm in length without any vertical movement of the sensors or part. Executes 100 static measurements in two seconds regardless of how the measurement sections are distributed along the workpiece.
Choosing the right tool for machining titanium
Machining titanium cost-effectively requires special attention to the distinctive features of this material – particularly for choosing the right tools.
C7015 Industrial PC
The C7015 ultra-compact IPC, which measures just 85 x 167 x 43 mm, is cost effective and universally suited to high-performance automation, visualization and communication purposes. Its applications range from classic machine control to the decentralized edge computing utilized in advanced Industrie 4.0 concepts.
