Slitter INOX-Prime Grinding Wheels
Weldcote introduces its new, high-quality Slitter INOX-Prime grinding wheels that offer excellent cutting speeds per cut with minimal burr and a smooth finish.
Magnoplate Universal Workpiece Holder
SCHUNK Electronic Solutions has developed Magnoplate – a universal workpiece holder for depaneling machines that places magnetic carrier pins with a milling head on a support plate. This results in lightning fast brackets for new assembly groups.
Flexible Force Testing Systems Design
The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a flexible selection architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frame series. This interchangeable system architecture increases application versatility, providing users a wider range of solution options from basic to advanced, for their specific force and material testing needs.
Parts Cleaning Services
To guarantee continuous and consistent cleaning results, it is essential that cleaning can be planned. For this, a system has to function in an optimal way and fluctuations in the process or unscheduled downtimes must be avoided. A service concept that is tailored to the requirements of the equipment user and implemented in close cooperation with the manufacturer helps to achieve this. Therefore, Ecoclean has developed a wide range of services that can be individually combined.
A-351 Gantry Motion System
The A-351 gantry motion system is related to the A-341 hybrid air bearing gantry. Driven by linear motors and guided by precision mechanical linear bearings, the system provides high speed and accuracy, at a lower price compared to its air bearings-based brother. Advanced absolute linear encoders increase accuracy and reduce start-up time by rendering homing procedures unnecessary.
TwinCAT Analytics One-Click Dashboard
To reduce the once time-consuming process of dashboard creation down to a simple mouse click, Beckhoff has introduced the new TwinCAT Analytics One-Click Dashboard. When tailoring new data-driven services to individual customer requirements, machine builders and system integrators need solutions that are as cost-effective as possible.
