Model 6190 High Lift Chip Trapper
EXAIR's new patented High Lift Chip Trapper offers a fast, easy way to clean coolant sumps, waste oil pits or wells. High Lift Chip Trapper removes the solids such as chips, swarf and shavings out of used coolants and other liquids with up to 15 feet of lift or 20 feet of horizontal vacuum.
SafeHold Permanent Lifting Magnets
When properly installed and operated, SafeHold permanent lifting magnets from Eriez are a safe and efficient mechanical material-handling device. Customers who have upgraded to SafeHold magnets from older manual magnets report decreased workplace injuries and increased productivity.
MGR5 Microgripper for Small, Fragile Part Assembly
A lightweight microgripper, the MGR5 was designed for small, fragile part assembly. The MGR brings operation force 10 gram or less capability into range. Light moving mass reduces impact force during small product placement.
Thulium-Doped Fiber Optic Components
A new range of Thulium-doped fiber optic components from Coherent | Nufern enables construction of fiber lasers and oscillators operating at ~ 2 µm with higher output power than was previously possible. Specifically, advances in Thulium doping technology deliver significantly improved pumping efficiency, yielding higher power output (>1 kW) for gain fibers.
TRIBOS Polygonal Clamping Technology
TRIBOS polygonal clamping technology has been setting standards in high-precision micromachining for many years. Numerous companies in medical and dental technology, watchmaking and jewelry, as well as moldmaking and optical engineering have put their confidence in SCHUNK's patented toolholding system. Due to the high demand, SCHUNK has further expanded the line of precision toolholders.
Twin cutter boring head reveals more value over time
Just in time (JIT) manufacturing, by nature, increases setups and shrinks batch sizes. This puts shops in a bind, because more setups and smaller batches are typically less profitable; but saying "no" to work can be even more painful.
Look Ahead: Fast process for depositing ultrahard coatings
A new CS-50 deposition system from Duralar Technologies uses a process called DualArmor that is capable of applying DLC coatings of 50µm or thicker — and apply them at rates averaging 15µm to 20µm per hour. Conventional DLC coatings, which have a practical total thickness limit of around 5µm, are deposited one or two atoms at a time.
Look Ahead: A grinding machine designed for sintered ceramics
Most manufacturers finish their sintered ceramic parts with grinding equipment designed for metals. Tratech Corp., however, has introduced what it says is the first commercially available CNC grinding machine designed specifically for the demanding needs of machining fully sintered ceramics.
Productive Times: Bonded by light
END USER: Urschel Laboratories Inc., (219) 464-4811, www.urschel.com. SOLUTION PROVIDER: Blue Photon Technology & Workholding Systems LLC, (855) 777-2040, www.bluephotongrip.com. CHALLENGE: Hold a near-net-shape casting for machining on five sides.
Keep machine tools, shop floor data safe from hackers
Proactive security measures become even more important as manufacturing software moves into the cloud, machine tool intelligence and automation continue to grow, and the Industrial Internet of Things makes big data an increasingly big deal.
Overview of parts deburring: Drilling Performance
All shops are concerned with burrs, a natural side effect of cutting. They are all looking for a single solution to prevent or remove burrs. Unfortunately, there is no panacea.
Small shops warm up to work cells
As automation becomes more flexible and less expensive, work cells are propagating at smaller shops.
