The key to success when individually deburring parts from bulk goods is the use of intelligent automation systems in connection with precise and accurate cleaning and deburring technology. Strama-MPS offers both main areas of expertise required for maximum outputs, i.e. automation and cleaning, and links them with reliable processes for superior cleaning and deburring results.

The continuous advancement of Hermes specifications has led to a new generation of ceramic honing rings. A higher porosity supporting a better chip removal interacts with a high-performance grain, which leads to longer tool life. Thus, a significant tool reduction is the result.

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence offers a customized protective enclosure for the TIGO SF shop-floor coordinate measuring machine. The TIBOX offers enhanced protection for systems operating in the most extreme workshop conditions, shielding against dust, airborne pollutants, oil particle suspension and other manufacturing environment contaminants.

The filtration and separation of tramp oils make an important contribution to the economical operation of parts washing systems. With its oil separators, BELKI Filtertechnik GmbH offers reasonably priced solutions for end customers and manufacturers of parts cleaning machines.

Novatec says its compact all-in-one 2CRD vacuum cleaning systems are suitable for the treatment of different parts and elaborate shapes, as they are complete and extremely flexible units. All cycles are programmable, combining sprays or immersion with ultrasonic under vacuum for highest results.

Keen to meet its customers' needs, SinapTec launched a new ultrasonic radial probe working at 40 kHz. The company’s radial probes are designed to distribute an ultrasonic field on 360° along the probe’s entire length.

As an alternative to mineral acids, the SurTec 414 neutral activator is able to remove efficiently rust and scales, e.g. after deburring processes and offers additional advantages for the operator. The product is nonhazardous, which means easy handling and higher workplace safety, according to the company.

Suhner Industrial Products Corp., Automation Div., introduces the BEX8, a high-speed machining block spindle capable of maintaining rigidity, precision and reliable performance at high-speed operations up to 25,000 rpm.

Heimatec announced that it will offer custom-designed and special tooling, in addition to its standard tooling line. Heimatec will design and build custom tools to suit specific requirements for all CNC lathes, regardless of application, brand or size.

Whether in precision mechanics, electronics, microengineering or other industries, if parts are glued, bonded and welded, sufficiently clean surfaces areas are a must for achieving long-lasting connections. An ideal solution for obtaining this partial cleanliness in an efficient, targeted and sustainable way is the snow jet cleaning system quattroClean from acp.

One central point is in the focus of all requirements in parts cleaning: the technical cleanliness. The Hobart portfolio offers a solution for industrial cleaning technology in all fields where a defined level of cleanliness is of particular importance.

With the Lumoscope-R, RJL Micro & Analytic GmbH will introduce a new digital microscope for Raman laser spectroscopy. It has been developed especially to identify organic and mineral contaminant particles and liquid film and grease contamination. The well-integrated optical microscope with reflective illumination allows to position the particles and samples under the laser beam centre precisely.

Solvadis GmbH offers high-quality cleaning solutions for the surface technology segment. The product range comprises both pure solvents and mixtures, such as nonchlorinated hydrocarbons, modified alcohols and aqueous cleaning agents, for a range of applications.

The standard Turbo-Clean system is ecologically and economically highly efficient, regaining 95 percent of production oils before cleaning the parts. All cleaning machines are designed to run in automated production lines, minimizing disposal, regaining production oil and avoiding internal transport.

For best results in the machining of multiple material layers, cutting parameters must be applied for each different material. The new L-MAX, a portable drilling unit from SOMEX, a member of the SUHNER group of companies, can perform all of these functions in automatic mode.

Dialight launched enterprise software called DACS, the Dialight Architecture Control System, control platform that allows for commissioning, grouping and scheduling of the lights and sensors to control, monitor and manage lighting at the fixture, zone, facility and enterprise-wide level with a simple and secure dashboard interface. The system pairs with the company’s new automated demand response system (ADR) and wireless daylight harvesting sensors.

Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. introduces its new safety air reservoir tank. Its purpose is to feed an air chuck with a reserved air supply should you encounter a loss of shop air. This system can keep a chuck in the clamped position for up to 20 minutes, depending on conditions.

PFERD INC. says its latest depressed-center grinding wheels feature an advanced pure ceramic-oxide grain that delivers excellent stock-removal rates, long service life and cost-cutting performance. Ideally suited for working with steel and stainless steel, the new wheels, designated CO 24 Q SG, have a hardness grade Q and excel at a variety of applications, including weld grinding, chamfering, deburring and surface grinding.

Cortec says it has introduced a major step forward in the spray can technology, the EcoAir complete line of compressed air-powered, water-based spray can products. Fast acting, economical, dependable and safe to handle, EcoAir is an environmentally safe corrosion-protection technology that eliminates waste disposal costs. Cortec is providing spray cans powered by compressed air that are complete, biobased replacement for expensive and hazardous chemical propellants.

Ransohoff, a division of Cleaning Technologies Group LLC, has introduced the next generation of its popular WasteWizard solution recycling system, which now features advanced Siemens controls with programmable digital color display screen and expandable modules to meet a wider range of recycling applications.
