Change 3D Metal Printer’s Deposition Head While Printing, Coating
Chiron Group’s flexible additive manufacturing machine – the Chiron AM Cube – is designed with laser metal deposition technology to work efficiently in the mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, energy production, and aerospace sectors. Its three deposition heads can perform different functions on a single workpiece.
Nitrogen Generation, Gas Mixing Products Reduce Costs and Floor Space
Bystronic Inc. and MSS Nitrogen Inc. partner to sell Bystronic’s Nitrocube nitrogen generation and NitrO2 gas mixing products, powered by MSS, in the North America market. Nitrocube’s nitrogen purity is 99.999%, while NitrO2 mixing can triple laser cutting speeds.
OPC Connectivity Solution Collects, Distributes Factory-Wide Data
GF Machining Solutions has launched Version 1.0 of the Open Platform Communications (OPC) Unified Architecture (UA) interface as a single connectivity solution for North American manufacturers. It will help reduce machine downtime, monitor performance across entire facilities, automate operations, and ensure manufacturing process compliance.
Cart-Based Material-Handling System Maximizes Storage Space
Signode’s StorFast is an automated storage and retrieval (ASRS) system that provides high-density, lights-out, 24/7-access to products and materials. Unlike cranes, the cart-based system allows for unlimited configurations.
Tower System Provides Lights-Out CNC Machine Tending
Designed to automatically feed CNC machines, Kasto’s Unitower CNC is a smart material-handling system controlled by software that monitors production to optimize order handling and ensure necessary NC programs and tools are available.
Handheld Analyzer For Metal Alloy Analysis
Smaller and lighter than other laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzers, Rigaku Analytical Devices’ KT-100S identifies difficult materials including low-alloy steels, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys and lithium.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gage with Temperature Compensation
The 38DL Plus with 38-Link wireless adaptor for connecting to the Olympus Scientific Cloud (OSC) saves time and money by minimizing human error and optimizing data management.
Handheld Sensor Reliably Measures Countersinks on Various Surfaces
LMI Corp.’s LaserGage HS742 3D sensor is a 3D laser profiler and that uses blue-laser technology and application-specific algorithms to overcome the challenge of measuring countersinks on solid, translucent, shiny, and opaque surfaces with repeatable results.
Updated Software Expands Force Gage Versatility
Ametek’s Chatillon DFS II Series digital force gage with ForceTest 2.0 software gives the operator a highly flexible testing system while additional functionality. The operator also benefits from live test graphs and data analysis.
Multiconfiguration Welding Workholder
Strong Hand Tools’ universal vises quickly and securely clamp stock of different thicknesses at multiple angles into place. They can be removed from the base and used separately.
Vise Kit Makes Automating Much Easier
Schunk’s Tandem PGS3-LH 100 clamping force block for basic aluminum and plastics machining has an integrated flange and comes with a console plate for easy mounting to machining tables, dividing heads, and clamping stations.
Workholders Enhance Productivity for More Than CNC Machining
Comprising self-centering vises, quick-change bases and mounting accessories, Mate Precision Technologies’ 52/96 zero-point product line can be used for inspection, CMM, cleaning, washing, assembly, and additive manufacturing as well as on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers.
