DualForce Fluting Wheels
Abrasive Technology's DualForce fluting wheels are manufactured using the company's proprietary, controlled-structure process, which creates space between the abrasive particles, for a freer-cutting, low power-consuming wheel that withstands cutting forces generated when grinding carbide and high-speed steel.
Ident-Ex 01 Hand-held Scanner for Hazardous Areas
ecom instruments is expanding its mobile worker ecosystem with a new peripheral, the hand-held scanner Ident-Ex 01 for Division 1/Zone 1 and 21. The new enterprise mobility solution reportedly helps companies to substantially improve the way in which they operate, enforce security, provide safety and manage assets and workflows.
DCP 120kW Bidirectional DC-DC Drives
Siemens introduces a second addition to its popular Sinamics DCP product family of scalable (4X), bidirectional DC-DC drives. The DCP 120kW facilitates the integration of larger energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors into multi-generator applications for a variety of industrial, smart grid and e-mobile uses, including photovoltaics, fuel cells, wind power and high dynamic uses such as peak shaving.
C 250 5-Axis Machine
Hermle has introduced the C 250 as a complement to its existing C 400 unit (introduced in 2012), and offers yet another affordable way for customers to enter the 5-axis category while still delivering the precision required at the most demanding level of machining.
EL72x1-9014 EtherCAT Servo Terminals
To increase safety technology in motion control applications, the new EL72x1-9014 EtherCAT servo terminals from Beckhoff implement STO (Safe Torque Off) functionality. The integrated features correspond to safety level Cat 3/PL d, according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015.
Elevated-Temperature Hard Hat H-700T
In challenging, elevated-heat conditions you need safety equipment that stands up to the heat and helps keep workers comfortable. Designed for workers in industries such as metalworking, smelting and glass manufacturing, with radiant heat environments, 3M Personal Safety Div. has launched the new 3M elevated-temperature hard hat H-700T series.
M612 Facemill
Sandvik Coromant has introduced its M612 facemill, a product engineered specifically for the roughing stainless steel turbo housings. The tool's positive geometry has the effect of providing a smoother cutting action, which helps machine shops to eliminate vibration.
GN 417 Zinc Die-Cast Indexing Plunger Latch Mechanisms
J.W. Winco, Inc. offers GN 417 metric zinc die-cast indexing plunger latch mechanisms with rest position. The RoHS compliant indexing plunger latch mechanisms are used for applications where the plunger has to stay in its retracted position.
ABC Automatic Lathe
The dynamic new generation of the ABC machine from INDEX is ideal for turning out simple to moderately complex parts in cycle times up to 15% faster than the previous generation with rapid spindle acceleration (8 g), shorter spindle ramp-up times, higher rapid traverse rates, and quick chip to chip times, according to the company.
Revolution LM Series Coordinate Measuring Machines
When it comes to coordinate measuring machines, manufacturers want less downtime and lower cost of ownership. In response to customer feedback OEM AIMS Metrology has designed and introduced a linear motor-driven CMM with 5-axis measurement capabilities.
KBDM PCD Facemilling Platform
Anyone who's replaced a head gasket on an internal combustion engine knows a smooth, flat surface on both cylinder head and block is needed for proper operation. No one understands this better than automakers, who strive for predictable, controlled surface finishes and high production output, together with maximum tool life and the lowest tooling cost per machined component.
Innovative solutions key DP Technology
DP Technology joined the College of Electromechanical Engineering at Beijing Union University and the Beijing Intelligent Mechanical Innovative Design Engineering Research Center to host the ESPRIT CAM & Smart Manufacturing seminar in Beijing on Sept. 22, 2016. The seminar brought into focus the most critical manufacturing topics in China today in order to better support the 10-year national plan, Made in China 2025.
