Users can quickly access the catalog page for a specific product range by clicking on the name of the product from the list on the contents pages. Instead of searching through multiple catalogs, brochures and website pages,…
Machine maintenance might seem like a waste of time, but it is the one thing that can keep your operation running smoothly. If you don’t have a maintenance schedule in place already, it can be difficult to know where to start. To make that a little bit easier, here are a few machine maintenance tips to help you get started to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently. Inspect Regularly The first step toward keeping your equipment running smoothly is to inspect it regularly. Depending on the type of equipment and the work that is being done, regular inspection can…
CNC Software, Inc., developers of Mastercam, the world’s leading CAD/CAM software,is partnering with NASA HUNCH. HUNCH, High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware, is an effort to bring high school students new educational experiences with NASA projects. CNC Software, Inc. will be providing licenses of Mastercam to select schools to use, as long as they are participating in the NASA HUNCH program. While there are about 150 schools participating in NASA HUNCH, Mastercam is specifically working with those schools focused on Precision Machining. “CNC Software is proud to support HUNCH and its efforts to bring high school students new…
Seco Tools has introduced Jetstream Tooling® high-pressure coolant technology for threading shank holders. The new range includes square shank holders for external applications, boring bars for internal applications and GL-heads for use with Steadyline bars. The Jetstream Tooling threading turning holders deliver a concentrated high-pressure jet of coolant – up to 150 bar/2,175 psi or hose connections for up to 275 bar/3,988 psi coolant inlets – to the optimum position close to the cutting edge making it possible to guide or steer chips a certain direction away from the cut. The toolholders are available in 22 external, 28 internal and…
China’s Silver Basis, makers of the finest automotive injection tooling and moulds, has now expanded operations to India in partnership with leading automotive component maker Faurecia and Kraftsman Tooling with a state-of-art facility in Pune. A report by Huned Contractor Given the fact that India imports up to 70% of the automotive injection tooling, it was only a matter of time before a leading player accepted the challenge of setting up a plant to address this demand. And this is precisely what has happened with three global companies coming together in a unique joint venture of sorts to set up…
There are hundreds of manufacturers of tanks, silos, pressure vessels, truck tanks and metal rolls components all over the world. Most of these companies need to produce or source Dished Ends of various types, sizes and specifications to complete their products. However, there are only few Dished Ends manufacturers that can supply this kind of product, a golden reason Dished End Production has become a very profitable business and a craft that companies are carrying on and conserving generation after generation. Faccin, one of the largest production companies in the world for bending systems and rolling machines, with ISO 9001:…
main SENSOR is based on an innovative measuring principle, which has been developed by Micro-Epsilon in order to combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. Magneto-inductive sensors are frequently used as alternative to inductive sensors and proximity sensors in process automation, the packaging industry and in machine monitoring. Measuring the distance to a magnet which is fixed at the measurement object, the sensors outputs a continuous, linear output signal. As different strength magnets are applied, measuring ranges of between 20mm and 55mm can be achieved. However, in order to adapt the measuring range, it is only necessary to…
IR temperature sensors, thermal imaging cameras and handheld pyrometers from Micro-Epsilon are designed for measuring surface temperatures from -50°C to 2200°C. The infrared radiation emitted by a body is used for the measurement. As this measurement is a non-contact technology, the devices perform wear-free and can therefore be reliably used in the long term. Selectable models and optical systems enable to install the cameras in different distances from the surface. This enables measurements to the target from a safe distance in critical operation areas. Infrared sensors, hand-held devices and IR cameras are used in a variety of applications for non-contact…
The innovative colorCONTROL ACS7000 colour measurement system does not only recognize reference colours by comparison, but identifies individual colours clearly from their coordinates in the color space. Due to its very high measurement speeds, the colorCONTROL ACS7000 is suitable for applications where colours and shades have to be examined on-the-fly and to very high accuracies. Beside of the standard sensors with measurement geometries 45°/0° and 30°/0° Micro-Epsilon provides a two-part transmission sensor that is ideally suited to quality assurance in the production of film strips, eyeglass lenses, glass sheets, LEDs and Plexiglas. Equipped with the circular sensor, the colorCONTROL ACS7000…
The optoCONTROL 2520 compact optical micrometer stands out due to its high precision and flexible mounting options. The CSP2008 multi-function controller enables the user to combine multiple micrometers in order to detect large measurement objects. The optoCONTROL 2520 compact optical laser micrometer with integrated controller can be combined with the CSP2008 multi-function controller. This enables the thickness and diameter of large objects to be measured. The measurement values are calculated by the controller after detection by the optical micrometer. The display on the CSP2008 shows the values of each micrometer as well as the thickness measurement (absolute dimension). In total,…
In terms of their size, accuracy and measuring rate, the scanCONTROL series of laser scanners are among the highest performing laser profile sensors in the world. Even the smallest of parts can be measured to the highest precision, enabling a new dimension of quality control. The fields of application are diverse across all industries. Therefore, as well as determining the blade angle of razors, the thickness of potato slices, the completeness of laser welding seams, the position of electronic components and the quality of silicone adhesive beading can also be determined. The Micro-Epsilon laser profile scanners are adapted to applications…

The idea of cladding is nothing new; however, laser cladding technologies have seen a significant boost in reliability and efficiency as of late. Cladding, if you didn’t know, is the process for improving the finish or surface of an object, part, or item that has generally been worn, through extended use. The best way to think of it is as a more aesthetic and functional form of refurbishment or revision. A new surface layer is created on top of the base material, giving it a new or fresh finished look. This is different from a process known as surface hardening,…
