The new range of integrated laser i 103 l-g from SIC Marking meets marking needs on plastic or metallic parts which are subjected to close tolerances or very high rates of production.
The G7 i Grinder 5-axis horizontal machining center from Makino offers a flexible, single-platform solution for grinding, drilling and milling of aerospace blades, vanes, turbine disks and other complex grinding applications.
FAUN, a German manufacturer of waste collection vehicles, has reviewed the production processes at its main plant in Osterholz-Scharmbeck (Lower Saxony) and initiated large-scale optimization measures for true material flow through all body manufacturing stations. While the modernization followed the model of the automotive industry, the big steel constructions required a suitable transport solution, RoundTrack technology from STROTHMANN enabled just such a solution.
The new VAST XTR gold probe from Carl Zeiss enables flexible and highly accurate measurements in industrial measuring, thus considerably increasing productivity and flexibility for operators.
A new, (patent pending) dual spring hanger that lets users safely maneuver all types of heavy or bulky tools, especially when they need to be jogged into position, is being introduced by ESCO Tool.
Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.
Utilizing newly engineered ceramic grain, high-performance Rigid Kut quick-change discs from Superior Abrasives are designed for demanding burrs, heavy stock removal, and weld grinding.
Klingelnberg was prominent in bringing high-precision measurement machines from the test room onto the shop floor, thus essentially propelling the realization of efficiency concepts in manufacturing lines. Now, the company has implemented an own assembly line for five series of precision measuring centers in Hueckeswagen, Germany. The logistics concept was developed and implemented by STROTHMANN.
