At home, digital assistance and communication systems have become indispensable. In professional environments, supporting systems are increasingly gaining equal status. As a machine tool manufacturer, the United Grinding Group offers Digital Solutions (a suite of digital products) that not only make work easier for customers, but also save time and money.
Dillon self-centering Jaw Forming Rings, or Jaw Boring Rings, attach to the front of jaws without tools so installation is fast and simple, and set-up times are slashed. Use of this device will provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline, reduce set-up times, and increase up-times for running machined parts.
Verisurf Software, Inc. announces support for the Renishaw RUP1 (REVO Ultrasonic Probe), providing an ultrasonic thickness probing solution to automate the measurement and reporting of thickness requirements.
CNC machining centers continually run at full capacity to produce high-quality parts that adhere to demanding specifications. Expensive dedicated machines’ workholding devices experience wear over time due to the forces of machining. Direct debilitating variables include performing in hostile environments, working with complex part geometries, or using demanding exotic material types (inconel, titanium, etc.)−all of which can promote the wear on a machine.
ECM USA has partnered with the prominent global manufacturer, SEW-EURODRIVE, to commission a modular NANO vacuum furnace system completely integrated with advanced automation for their Lyman, South Carolina facility.
Jergens new Quick-Loc 2 Pallet system boasts an improved design that engages pull studs inside the receiver, plus a hardened coating for long life and durability. The range is compatible with all existing top tooling, ensuring repeatability of 0.0003″ and providing clamping forces of nearly 14,000 lbs.
Dillon Manufacturing’s Claw Jaws feature an optimized contour which, along with the jaw's weight, center of gravity, and cutting forces, combine to securely grip workpieces by minimizing jaw clamping force losses.
ABB Robotics is expanding its large robot range with four new models and 22 variants, offering more choice, increased coverage and greater performance. The next generation models include the IRB 6710, IRB 6720, IRB 6730 and IRB 6740, suitable for payloads ranging from 150kg to 310kg, with a reach from 2.5m to 3.2m, offering customers greater choice and significant performance and energy efficiency improvements.
Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, announced it will attend FABTECH 2023, Sept. 11–14 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Nidec Machine Tool America (NMTA), a division of Nidec Machine Tool Corporation of Japan, will exhibit the newly developed CF26A gear chamfering machine at the Motion + Power Expo, October 17–19, 2023. The machine is capable of fully automatic full tooth-defined chamfering of gears up to 260mm in diameter. In addition, the companion ChamferX tools will be available for show attendees to review.
