AMF Marking and Cleaning Tools
Heimatec Inc. announces immediate availability of marking and cleaning tools from its European partner Andreas Maier, under the AMF brand. The announcement was made by the president of Heimatec Inc., Preben Hansen. "This development brings additional products to our current customers and responds to the market needs for quality marking and cleaning tools for workpieces in CNC machining," he observed.
LGA28 and LGA42 Series Captive Linear Actuators
Nanotec offers captive linear actuators with short design in sizes NEMA 11 (28 mm) and NEMA 17 (42 mm). With the LGA28 and LGA42 series, the overall length of the guide is just 10 mm longer than the working stroke, therefore they are particularly suitable for use in small installation spaces.
ANW-3500 Twin-Spindle Lathe With HM-3400 Milling Machine
Fuji Machine America Corp. says its ANW-3500 fully automated twin-spindle Lathe is impressive on its own, but when combined with Fuji's Fully Automated HM-3400 milling machine (optimized to integrate), it opens up a whole new world of machining possibilities and efficiencies. Both machines of this cell have built-in robots.
