FLIR Systems, Inc. announces the addition of two new offerings to its T-Series of infrared cameras for predictive maintenance. The new cameras offer high-performance features at a very competitive price making it more readily available to a greater number of electrical and mechanical contractors.
HEAVY DUTY LINEAR DRIVE REVERSES DIRECTION AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT REVERSING DRIVE MOTOR
Amacoil/Uhing offers the model RG80 linear drive which supplies up to 800 pounds of side thrust for heavy load linear motion applications. The drive features "rolling ring" linear motion engineering enabling mechanical control over reversal thereby eliminating the need for electronic controls and a reversible motor.
CABINET CAN BE TAILORED TO POWER DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
Staco Energy Products offers the new FirstLine® OC power distribution cabinet. It provides the most comprehensive flexible power distribution solution in the industry.
BEYOND JUST BEING BENT
Meet that Need for Speed: This telescopic machine tool cover test stand represents a breakthrough in evaluation techniques from a supplier of machine protection devices.
CHIP AND PARTS CONVEYORS ARE VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE
Machine Tool Dream: Ideal for moving and elevating ferrous materials such as chips, turnings, small parts and stampings.
GAME OVER
Manufacturers Find Perfect Bolt Preload ? Visually: The guessing game of obtaining the optimum bolt preload is over, thanks to a true innovation in bolt indicators.
NEW MICROGAGE TRANSPARENT RECEIVER SOLVES ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS
Pinpoint Laser Systems introduces a new transparent Microgage 2D receiver that will be used for aligning production machinery and equipment. A narrow laser beam provides a measuring reference line and the new transparent receiver determines the position of a machine or sub-assembly relative to the laser beam. This new receiver will operate over distances of 100 ft and deliver measuring precision of less than 0.0005 in, ideal for demanding industrial alignment applications. The Microgage system and this newest transparent receiver are well suited for lathe and spindle alignment, checking machine tool runout, roll and web alignment, precision bore alignment and much more.
