ARCH Cutting Tools takes top prize in Tool of the Year competition
With 28 entries, 1.2 million social impressions and almost 4500 votes, ANCA's Tool of the Year winner was ARCH Cutting Tool's entry that demonstrated the use of multiple ANCA'S iGrind machine operations with several complex profiles.
NEXIV VMZ-S3020 Vision Measuring System
The system is ideal for inspecting a wide variety of mechanical, electrical, electronic, moulded, cast and pressed components that fall within its 300 x 200 x 200 mm working volume. Nikon's proprietary optical measuring, image processing and analysis technologies are employed to detect feature edges at very high speed, capturing accurately and automatically the shape and dimensions of even the most complex components.
Robot Operating System (ROS)
ROS drivers are the latest addition to its H-811 high performance hexapod 6-axis miniature robot, allowing fast, seamless integration into a ROS environment, with comfortable control using their well-known mechanisms. With an included URDF model in the driver package, the H-811.i2 hexapod can also be simulated and visualized.
PCD Round Tools
Extremely sharp cutting edges and low-friction rake surfaces eliminate concerns over built-up- edge. Low friction machining also produces superior surfaces in finishing operations, such as reaming. Surface roughness of Ra 0,1–0,8 μm (0.0025–0.02 μ-in) is achievable – far superior to conventional carbide tooling.
DM-9CNC Wheel Dressing Machine
Available for 9" and 10" diameter wheels, the machine CNC dresses precision contours in vitrified grinding wheels. The shape can be transferred from a CAD drawing into G-code which the DM-9CNC can read to form the wheel. Alternatively, for simpler geometry, the operator can enter the dress profile in a tabulated form on the 15" touch screen HMI.
ELM72xx EtherCAT Terminals
The ELM72xx modules' metal housings provide optimum heat dissipation even at high output power as well as optimal shielding against electrical interference. The new servo terminals can connect directly to other EtherCAT Terminals as an integrated component of the Beckhoff I/O system.
GWS Tool Group names key personnel
GWS Tool Group in Tavares, Florida, has bolstered its applications and sales expertise in California and Northern Mexico with the appointment of two specialists.
T40CB TorqueTransducer
This compact model, measuring a mere 49mm/54mm in length and the central bore hole with a diameter of 37.5mm/ 46.5mm, provides technicians with the flexibility and user-friendliness necessary for carrying out application tests on automotive parts, such as coaxial transmissions or gearboxes.n
xsTECH Router Mill
The xsTECH is small but features big capabilities for cutting plastics, wood, and aluminum. An ideal starter CNC system for students learning CNC fundamentals, the xsTECH comes ready to run and requires no assembly. It plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet and for those outside of the US, a 230V version is available.
ASTM E2737 Detector Evaluation Package
The new ASTM E2737 Detector Evaluation Package is available to suit the entire range of Nikon Metrology's X-ray CT inspection, metrology and large envelope CT systems. All of the manufacturer's X-ray sources are supported including rotating target technology and the world's only 450kV microfocus source, in addition to the full range of industry-leading detectors.
quattroClean Snow-Jet Technology
The core of the cleaning system is a wear-free, two-component ring nozzle through which the non-flammable and non-toxic carbon dioxide is fed.
CFast Memory Card F-800
The F-800 series is available in various capacities from 2 to 64 GB and is characterized by low power consumption and low heat generation. Sophisticated firmware functions for active and passive data maintenance and the protection against data loss in the event of power failure ensure reliable data retention.
