Filter by Process Zone:
Tow Tractor Moves 11,000 Pounds Automatically or Manually via a Driver
Jungheinrich’s dual-mode EZS 350a NA automated guided vehicle (AGV) provides all the benefits of an electric truck with a laser-based navigation platform that requires no floor work.
Small-Payload Cobot Provides Industrial Speed and Cobot Safety
Comau adds safety features to the Racer-5 industrial robot to come up with the dual-mode Racer-5 Cobot: a fast automation solution for supporting multiple manufacturing processes that doesn’t sacrifice precision or employee health.
Award-Winning Design in High-Speed, 4-Axis Robots
Stäubli has set new benchmarks in dynamics, precision and cleanroom with its 4-axis line of Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arms (SCARA) for highly sensitive environments. Judges of the 2021 Red Dot Design competition recognized its unique cylindrical working area when they gave it the “Product Design” award.
Robot Boosts Electronics Production
KUKA’s KR 6 SCARA robot offers reach/radius options of 500 mm and 700 mm, and Z-axis stroke of 200 mm. Faster and lighter than smaller 6-axis models, it offers manufacturers ease of use while expediting production speed.
RFP Fringe Probe Increases 5-Axis Measurement System Flexibility
Renishaw’s multisensor REVO 5-axis measurement system provides highly accurate scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis at ultra-high speeds on one coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Submicron Surface Roughness Measurement
The LEXT OLS5100 laser microscope from Olympus guarantees measurement accuracy that simplify experiment workflows. The software’s several smart features minimize error with push-button scanning and analysis.
Laser Measures Wide Range of Hard-to-Reach Surfaces
Optical Gauging Products’ multisensor TeleStar Plus laser measures a wide range of materials and surface textures with extremely high accuracy. Its through-the-lens (TTL) design eliminates offset between the optical and laser sensors.
Surface Measurement for Non-Metrologists
OmniSurf3D from Digital Metrology Solutions helps users understand and communicate about surface texture without requiring a great deal of mathematical interpretation or metrology knowledge. The software provides the ability to interact with data from virtually any surface measurement instrument.
Improved Probe Provides Shop-Floor Measurements
Automated Precision’s portable vProbe performs CMM-style measurements on the shop floor and is more versatile than a portable-arm coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Next-Generation Square Shoulder Cutter
Seco Tools’ Turbo 16 square shoulder cutter inserts are the company’s first products with data matrix tags. The scannable codes store product and batch information, and can be read by the Seco Assistant smartphone app.
Cost-Efficient Small-Diameter, High-Feed Face Milling Cutter
Four-edged inserts help Sandvik Coromant’s CoroMill 415 face milling cutter reduce cost per component and increase productivity via a high metal removal rate. An E-M30 geometry complements M-M30 geometry assortment.
Inserts with Two CBN Tips Double Efficiency
Two tips on Lach Diamond’s CBN-Duo-power inserts are finished with type B610 or type B600 cubic boron nitride (CBN) to increase productivity when turning automotive components out of materials such as case-hardened steels and powder-metal alloys.
