Pick-and-place kit simplifies automation
With Universal Robots' ActiNav kit, shops can automate without major integration and programming efforts.
Lift-assist devices do the heavy work
Whether heavy, tall, light or small, lifting and moving parts can be a challenge.n
Gen4 Four Outlet Selectable Voltage Power Supply
Applications using up to four Gen4 Super Ion Air Knives, Ion Air Guns, Ion Air Cannons, Ionizing Bars or any other EXAIR Gen4 static eliminator product can be connected to one power supply. Like all EXAIR Gen4 products, these four outlet power supplies are UL component recognized, CE and RoHS compliant.
New Generation GL Series Turning Center
Models include the GL250, GL300, GL350, and GL450. Each is constructed with durable roller ways on all axis to produce high rigidity. A built-in spindle motor with a chiller incorporated and direct drive servo-motors results in high response speed, accuracy, less vibration, and lower maintenance requirements.
MINTVIZOR
The solution provides real-time machine monitoring and analytics of shop-floor data to drive decision making for higher throughput, reduced downtime, and inmproved product quality.
Type FHS
The Type FHS can be installed in horizontal, vertical, inverted, and wall-mounted orientations. Four-way equal load rating in all directions (radial, reverse radial, right, and left directions) ensures high rigidity.
Mini Drill Press/708-CNC Control Option
Unique to the market and made in the USA, the Mini Drill Press and microprocessor-controlled quill feed unit represents a complete re-design to modern technology - featuring a brushless DC motor (no carbon dust) with higher RPM; and with the 708-CNC option, precision program control for peck drilling, and reaming cycles, and deep hole drilling.
Rapid Release Pins
Even if pins appear simple at first glance, JW Winco has consistently demonstrated that this type of standard part can still be improved on in plenty of ways. For instance, the recently introduced versions GN 113.11 and GN 113.12 are ideal for narrow spaces thanks to the L-handle on one side.
N-20m2 SSD Module
The new product range features industrial grade 3D-NAND that supports an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The SSD-module combines high grade NAND flash chips, a sophisticated PCIe controller and firmware that supports demanding applications.
CAD/CAM software improves efficiency, expands capabilities
Sam Roberts has more than two decades of experience in programming and manual and CNC skills, but still remembers the day in 1999 when he was introduced to Mastercam CAD/CAM software (CNC Software Inc., Tolland, Connecticut). As a machinist proficient in G-code, Roberts was impressed with the software.
Studio G2 Turnkey 3D Printer Rental Service
The BigRep STUDIO G2 standard rental lease covers a six month period at a highly competitive monthly rate of (net) $3,000 USD. A small nominal base fee covers the simple installation and training. In addition, rental customers gain access to all of BigRep's 3D printing technological expertise, industrial applications and full range of high-performance filaments as well as the company's global partner network.
Tiger and Wolverine Large Diameter Cutting Wheels Line Expanded
The Tiger large diameter wheels for performance cutting and the Wolverine wheels for standard cutting include specialty products. Among those are the Tiger AO wheels for stud cutting, as well as Tiger AO and Wolverine AO wheels with single center reinforcement for increased speeds and burr-free cutting — both designed for use on chop saws.
