Chevalier Machinery will continue production of its popular FBB-110 — 130 series machine into 2014.

Spindle drives are becoming larger and more efficient in the case of machining centers and machine tools. To guide higher streams of energy, larger conductor cross-sections are required. As a result, servo cables are becoming thicker with larger bend radii, and in some cases are going beyond the permissible space of the machine tool. A shielded single core cable, like the Chainflex CF270-UL-D from igus is an ideal solution.

Greenerd Press & Machine Co. Inc. recently built and delivered three bench type C-frame 40-Ton Hydraulic Straightening Presses, Model HPBS-40, for a major U.S. airplane manufacturer.

Stock Drive Products offers miniature pillow block ball bearings from Spyraflo.

Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. introduces the Model 650 Sliding Jaw air chuck.

The Gi-360 T (tilt) high-speed laser inspection system from General Inspection provides a host of benefits.

When compressed air is used to blow off oil, dust and other debris from machined parts on the factory floor, these contaminants become airborne and can affect the health and safety of machine operators. The new LNS SC500 Spray Cabin remedies this problem by providing a compact, mobile enclosure for this process that uses a highly effective air filtration system to remove 99 percent of contaminants.
