Piezoelectric materials convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa; the so-called inverse piezo effect is harnessed for the generation of oscillation and precision motion. For ultrasonic applications that require high bandwidth, hemispheres and hollow spheres are currently available with an outside diameter range from 2 – 100mm with wall thickness as small as 0.2mm. Uses for electro-ceramic spherical transducers include medical high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), therapeutic ultrasound, hydrophones, and sonar transducers.

One of the primary benefits of vibratory feeders in the nut processing industry is the simple and clean construction of the feeder tray. The trays can be easily and quickly wiped down or washed out for product changeover or sanitation protocol.

VpCI®-418 LM can be used on a variety of metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, brass [30% Zn], copper) and may be used at different dosages for light, medium, or heavy-duty cleaning.

The LC xx6 series offers the same mounting profile as its LC 1x5 / LC 4x5 encoders, though the newest LC 116 and LC 416 offer a different internal optimized scanning system which makes them easier to deploy.  This scanning design utilizes true optimized optics, which ensures clear imaging even with contamination and condensation.

The most recent indexing plunger development is pneumatically actuated. In addition, the part also detects both end positions with just a single sensor. This makes the GN 817.7 a logical advancement over the manually operated indexing plunger GN 817.6. The GN 817.7 can replace the GN 817.6 without changing dimensions or signal processing. The new plunger can also be used in hard-to-reach locations and integrates into automated processes.

Made from 316 stainless steel, the hinges can be used in environments subject to regular washdown with aggressive detergents. The design provides long-term resistance to corrosion, and rounded edges prevent accumulation of bacteria, enabling an easier and more effective wash-down.

The ATC is a valuable addition to the 24R CNC router. The ATC is integrated into Tormach’s award-winning PathPilot CNC controller. Ideal for premium woodworkers and sign makers, the 24R is designed to accurately cut a wide variety of materials including woods, plastics, aluminum, and more. With an advanced control, rigid cast-iron bed, welded steel stand, water-cooled chiller, integrated vacuum table, and more than a 2’ x 4’ work envelope, it is the perfect choice for 2D and 3D cutting needs.

These new vibration-free tools provide finish machining of precise bores (IT6–IT8) up to 6 × D, with high surface quality and are up to three times more reliable and flexible than comparable models. Their flexibility is boosted by the fact that the new Walter boring tools employ modular components such as cartridge holders and extensions, which are matched to the system, utilize an extensive range of indexable inserts suited for precision boring, and can be used for all material groups.

The design makes them the ideal solution for machining simple to complicated jobs.  In addition, their unique round design allows for five-sided access to workpieces. The vises occupy less space and reduce the amount of vise interference.

Each of the OB7’s joints can rotate 360 degrees in both directions. The cobot can sense collisions at every joint, a function that triggers a safe stop. The OB7 can also be stopped with an operator’s hand and restarted with a tap on one of its joints. When running at collaborative speeds, guarding is not required. For high speed operations, a laser safety scanner is available.

The MV 600H’s compact design, high-end features, expansive workpiece envelope, and powerful torque work in harmony to create an all-purpose machine tool that can handle any job, any material, for any industry. Its ready-made versatility positions owners to accept a wider range of jobs across a wider customer base with consistent machining experiences.

The company’s Tiger system has firmly established itself as the gold standard for cutting tool insert finishing, with installations in many of the world’s leading cutting tool insert manufacturers. The system can be configured to process inserts for all essential pre-coating, edge honing or post-coating operations.

With a wide variety of modules, ATRO gives users the power to create almost any custom robot design within the rated payloads for their application – from a simple single-axis rotary indexing table application and delta kinematics up to multi-axis articulated robots. Expansive configurations with as many as 16 robotic arms are possible.

The QV Pro Series features newly developed StrobeSnap vision measuring function that speeds up run time by approximately 35 to 45 percent regardless of measurement position or continuity while achieving higher throughput and high-precision measurements. Auto focus on the QV Pro Series is about 39 percent faster than previous models, which were already fastest in their class, without loss of accuracy.

The PermaClean Filtration System eliminates sludge build up by adding optional agitation to the coolant collection tank. FlexForce is a high-pressure coolant system that dramatically outperforms ordinary flood systems. Will-fill combines automatic volume measurement and metalworking fluid analysis with faultless filling, permanent conditioning and timely reporting to provide worry-free coolant care.

Bosch Rexroth has expanded its range of standardized self-contained actuators by adding the CytroMotion system solution. With the help of the new compact actuator, linear movements involving forces of up to 110 kN can be achieved in a range of machines and systems in smaller spaces, more efficiently and more sustainably.

WIDIATM has added an AL Geometry to its ISO Turning portfolio, strengthening its broad offering of affordable tooling solutions for small to medium sized machine shops, machining aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The AL Geometry insert is offered in two grades for increased machining versatility: an uncoated microfine carbide WU10HT grade and the PVD AlTiN coated grade, WU05PT.

Scytec Consulting Incorporated is proud to announce a partnership with CGTech and the integration of DataXchange into the Digital Twin standard VERICUT. This is an incredible offering for the manufacturing industry at large by making CGTech VERICUT infinitely more valuable by adding a robust machine monitoring solution via CGTech’s new module called CNC Machine Connect in the launch of VERICUT 9.3 to enhance the quality of the simulation.

Energy management software will be one of IMCO Software’s feature products at IMTS Trade Show in September. Energy consumption and costs are receiving attention in the economy and with new manufacturing software by IMCO Software. 

Magid’s Flex Series expands with a new palm coating that delivers superior wet and dry grip.
