CorrTube
CorrTube® is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and doesn't contain any nitrites, phosphates, silicates, or other hazardous compounds. The tubes are very easy to use: simply match the appropriate diameter of the tube to the size of your part. The VpCI® coating on the inside of the tube vaporizes, reaching all metal surfaces to provide complete corrosion protection.
Grippers grasp battery terminals during burnishing operation
A Russian battery maker was looking to automate its manufacturing process and turned to Wenaroll in Solingen, Germany, experts in burnishing technology, to develop a turnkey production system.
Type RSX Miniature LM Guide
The compact outer dimensions of the Type RSX enable the realization of space-saving designs. It is available in a standard Type RSX-M and a Type RSX-WM with a longer overall LM block length, wider width and higher rated load and permissible moment than the Type RSX-M.
Phantom T1340 Camera
The 2048 x 1952 low-noise sensor, combined with a compact form factor, are ideal for demanding measurement applications such as object tracking, flow visualization, microscopy and modern imaging techniques, like Digital Image Correlation (DIC). A binned mode is included to provide higher throughput and a sensitivity boost at 1 Megapixel and below.
AVX550 Multi-Sensor Vision System
The new Starrett AVX550 Multi-Sensor System features dual optical systems that work in tandem to measure a broad range of features. The primary zoom lens enables small intricate features to be inspected with high precision and resolution of up to 2 microns.
Carbinite Coating
In clamping tests, Carbinite has been shown to nearly double the gripping strength at equal clamping force. Customers report increased grip and longer tool life. Utilizing a process called Electro Spark Deposition (ESD), Carbinite can be added to hard or soft jaws after they are milled to customer requirements.
PeopleCounter (PeCo) SensorApp
The PeopleCounter (PeCo) is a SensorApp developed by SICK that enables anonymous data processing and differentiation of people from objects over large detection areas. Based on the hardware of the MRS1000 3D LiDAR sensor, measurement data generates as a point cloud. The integrated PeopleCounter app reliably identifies people using their contours.
CMM aids aircraft retrofit
Chicago Jet Group retrofitting a Dassault Falcons plane turned to a leading metrology provider for help in recreating a replica of a cockpit panel to ensure it would fit snugly in the cockpit..
SHUR-BRITE Mounted Seamless Satin Finishing Wheels
Made without a scrim reinforcement, the SHUR-BRITE® Satin Finishing materials are lighter, more pliable, and conformable than other non-woven materials. Suitable for wet or dry applications, they are resistant to loading, and produce consistent performance throughout their extended life.
The end of a Chicago dynasty
A Chicago family dynasty ended July 8, 2020, with the passing of Tom Breitenstein, who, like his father, enjoyed a long and fruitful career in the machine tool industry.
InfiPoints Point-Cloud Utilization Software
Elysium has developed technology to complement any missing information in point-cloud data with InfiPoints' advanced processing capabilities—such as feature extraction of pipes and planar surfaces and automatic registration. This functionality allows users to accurately combine and perform registration between UAV/MMS-scanned point clouds and point-cloud data captured from tripod 3D laser scanners.
IP69 Rated Circular Connectors
Circular connectors with IP69 rating ensure the highest connectivity and reliability in harsh manufacturing environments that require hygiene and cleanliness as well as regular exposure to high pressure and temperature.
