Norton Winter Ironclad Wheels
Norton Winter Ironclad Wheels offer several additional benefits including reduced downtime due to longer wheel life which extends time between setups. There is less bluing of castings even towards the end of the wheel life. Promoting a cleaner, healthier work environment, the new wheels generate significantly less dust and odor compared with traditional bonded wheels.
HFKS-2G Power Chuck
Ideal for high volume lathe and mill turn applications, the HFKS-2G is optimum for heavy duty precision machining of easily deformed workpieces. Thanks to flats on the chuck body technology and lighter weight, the ability to use shorter tools to gain closer access to workpieces provides added parts precision and cost efficiency.n
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Lift Tables
Eliminating unnecessary reaching and other operator movements enhances ergonomics, and can speed production. Proven Verti-Lift positioners are available in various lift capacities, base and turntable sizes, and vertical travel. With the inclusion of a heavy-duty, 360-degree turntable, they are ideal for palletizing, de-palletizing, work station assembly, and manufacturing of all kinds and across all industries. n
F-122 Compact 5-Axis Motorized Fiber Positioning System
The F-122 motorized 5DOF positioning stage is a compact solution for aligning (silicon) photonics and optics components, such as fibers, waveguides, lenses. As the leading innovator of high precision motion control solutions for 50 years, PI offers a host of 3-axis XYZ to 6-axis precision motion systems for automation and research.n
1/4 NPT FullStream Liquid Atomizing Spray Nozzle
With FullStream nozzles, the liquid is supplied into the body of the nozzle creating a swirling action within a vortex chamber. This vortex produces the spray pattern when the machined nozzle breaks the liquid surface tension as it exits the orifice and into a controlled spray angle.
