Omax Corp. hosts virtual trade show
KENT, Washington – Omax Corp. is excited to announce the next installment of its virtual trade show series.
Virtual customer day at UCM AG on Sept. 29
Rheineck/Monschau. In times of contact restrictions, travel constraints and trade fair cancellations, the virtual customer day held by the Swiss company UCM AG offers customers and interested parties a safe way of keeping up to date with the latest developments in the field of precision and ultrafine cleaning.
DrillMeister Range Expanded
DrillMeister incorporates a unique self-locking interface that enables simple and secure drill head exchange. Since drill heads can be replaced without having to remove the drill body from the spindle tool setup time can significantly be reduced, eliminating presetting, offset, and touch off of the replaced tool.
Expanded MillQuadFeed
MillQuadFeed is a new generation of high feed milling cutters, offering two options of insert geometries that cover various high feed milling application needs. Versatile ZER geometry generates light cutting load at great depths of cut, enabling increased cutting depths and reduced number of machining passes. This is particularly effective to boost productivity in challenging rough milling operations of cast iron where a cutting depth can greatly vary on a single working surface.
Telescopic Type ATG Utility Slider
The Type ATG utilizes THK Circular-Arc Raceway Technology for equal to or higher permissible load capacities than Gothic Arch Raceway designs. Circular-Arc Technology achieves less differential slip between the ball and the raceway, resulting in reduced cage displacement, as well as decreased friction and wear. Full stroke reliability is achieved due to the shape of the grooves.
AccuKool Coolant Port Holes
Specially designed coolant holes that are central to the body diameter and ID diameter to maintain the thickest and strongest body design for superior grip strength with coolant flow directly targeted at the "vortex" intersection for maximum coolant follow to and through the cutting flutes.
Clamping Module Option for FlexMove Conveyors
The Clamping Module is ideal for totes, boxes, bottles and square, round and rectangular containers. As products pass through the Clamping Module, pre-programmed photo sensors trigger a pneumatic-clamping actuator that is mounted on both sides of the conveyor. The Clamping Module produces a gap of about one product length; product must be able to withstand some back pressure and squeezing force.n
EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac
The EasySwitch vacuum creates a powerful vacuum (at a quiet 79 decibels) without the need for electricity. Because the vacuum generator has no moving parts and uses no electricity, there is little concern for failed parts, motor failure or working with liquids associated with electric industrial vacuums.
GrindSmart Model 630XW machine
Boring bar grinding on the Rollomatic 6-axis tool grinding machines offers exceptional flexibility in comparison to conventional single-puropose grinders. With its 6 fully interpolating CNC axes and 6-station wheel/nozzle changer, the machine can easily be adapted for individual boring bar designs, both for short and long runs.
