Tolomatic Inc. develops open-source, low-cost ventilator actuation prototypes for COVID-19 patients
In an effort to support the global need for medical ventilators, Minnesota-based Tolomatic Inc. has dedicated a team of engineers to the development of highly efficient emergency ventilator concept systems using electric linear actuators. The proposed technologies are the first step in creating innovative emergency ventilators for patients around the world.
Liberty Molds Inc. answers call to combat COVID-19
Liberty Molds Inc. recently answered the call to assist with the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 2, the company received a request from Ford Motor Co. to help manufacture components for critically important respirators. Liberty Molds acted quickly and contacted its local Hurco Cos. Inc. representative to expedite the order.
A-H Family of Taps
The EMUGE A-H family of taps is the best solution for tapping extremely abrasive materials and those materials with elevated hardness levels, such as cast iron, common in the heavy equipment and agricultural vehicle markets. EMUGE A-H Taps are now available with or without coolant through holes and with TiCN coating, or NT nitride surface treatment, for improved tool life.
CSD-300II Front Facing Twin Spindle Lathe
For exceptionally quick and accurate turning of a variety of parts, turret index times are as low as .19 seconds, robot cycle times 17.9 seconds and loading times 4.8 seconds. An optimized bed design, with a grooving width of 14mm, renders this lathe exceptionally rigid.
5028A Charge Amplifier
Benefits for users include highly rigid and dynamic piezoelectric measurement technology, digital data that is resistant to interference from disturbance variables, and end-to-end communication all the way through to sensor level. IO-Link technology supplies users with real-time data to monitor the condition of their plants and measurement chains.
Sinumerik 828D CNC
Additional benefits of ordering the pre-defined packages include a price discount, a simplified ordering process and a shortened lead-time. The program is subject to availability and delivery time will depend upon the stock available in Elk Grove Village, IL. Only customers located in the United States with a physical mailing and delivery address are eligible for this program.
Standard Parts of AISI 316L (A4) Stainless Steel
The austenitic AISI 316L (A4) stainless steel receives its high resistance to chlorides and acids primarily from the chromium, nickel, and molybdenum constituents. This predestines the AISI 316L (A4) standard parts from Winco for use on ships and other offshore sites, in swimming pools with chlorinated or mineral-rich waters and, anywhere else that requires such thorough cleaning.
