Grinding machine eliminates variances in grinding due to temperature changes
The Swiss grinding experts from Tschudin are presenting what they say is a world first: a grinding machine with perfect heat transfer.
Starrett Invites IMTS Attendees to Try New, Innovative Touch Screen Indicator
Two W4900 Indicators will be available for attendees to use firsthand and experience the simple navigation. Also, a bank of W4900 Indicators shown in a variety of configurations will be continuously taking measurements of a rotating crankshaft. Supporting Industry 4.0, IoT and the Digital Factory, all of the W4900 Indicators will be integrated with the Starrett DataSure® 4.0 Wireless Data Collection System for automated wireless measurement data capture and transmission.
Starrett W4900 Indicator
Supporting Industry 4.0, IoT and the Digital Factory, all of the W4900 Indicators will be integrated with the Starrett DataSure 4.0 Wireless Data Collection System for automated wireless measurement data capture and transmission. Attendees can collect and transmit measurement data instantly for analysis to Starrett associates in the booth who will be running the DataSure mobile application, and be available to review the results and discuss any specific application requirements and questions.
SGR Series Rod Motor Positioning Module
In addition to use in the semiconductor, biotechnology, precision assembly and battery manufacturing industries, the SGR Series rod module is also appropriate for glass and LCD panels, medical equipment, printing machines, laser processing and precision assembly.
Precision Express Program
Precision Express matches an in-house profiling cell with a broad range of on-hand stock, cutting wheel manufacturing and delivery lead times from months to days. Even when gear manufacturers see a spike in demand or need a custom profile at a moment's notice, Weiler Abrasives can provide consistent availability and delivery.
UltraTEC Ultrasonic A25 Deburring Machine
The UltraTEC ultrasonic A25 creates a formation and dissolution/implosion of bubbles in water that release an intense energy during implosion. This is created by an ultra-high oscillation of 20kHz (20,000 oscillations per second) with an oscillation width of +/-80-120microns, which far exceeds the amplitude of ultrasonic cleaning, cutting and welding technologies.
QCPSS Heavy Duty Sliding Locks
Two tip types of the QCPSS are available: A flat tip that helps minimize damage to an object, and a diamond-surface tip that provides high holding force. Both versions provide 247 lb. clamping force. The clamp body is made from 303 stainless steel. The handle is made from 304 stainless steel. The sliding locks are supplied with two M4 socket head screws for mounting.
CUT S 400 Dedicated
For faster, easier cleaning, the casting of the CUT 400 S Dedicated is designed so that tank water constantly runs down the interior sides of the work envelope, keeping them wet and preventing EDM residue from drying and hardening. This sticky residue also plays havoc with an EDM's filter and drive systems. To prevent the residue from making its way inside these systems, water also constantly circulates through the new machine's upper and lower heads.
Takumi USA introducing new machines at IMTS
Takumi USA, a sister company of Hurco, will introduce the UA400 5-axis machining center in booth 338319 at the IMTS show Sept. 9-12.
Chemsorb Acid Neutralizer
Chemsorb Acid Neutralizer is simple to sweep or shovel up after use, offering a quick and straightforward clean up. This economical process eliminates the need for specialized equipment and reduces both time and labor. Each 10-pound bag of Chemsorb™ Acid Neutralizer can neutralize and absorb up to 2.5 gallons of fluid.
DWL1900XY 2-Axis Vertical Precision Digital Level
Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the DWL1900XY seamlessly integrates with the Digi-PasR Smart Level mobile app, enabling real-time data visualization on smartphones and unlocking other advanced features including simultaneous multi-axes readouts, multi devices connectivity, multiple units of measure- ment and self-calibration, among others.
Okuma Robot Loader (ORL)
Each ORL product has been strategically designed with a compact footprint, requiring only between eight and nine feet of floor space. Additionally, each product utilizes industry-leading FANUC industrial robot arms and grippers which can hold a payload of up to 25 pounds.
