BF, a Canadian manufacturer of digitally controlled industrial cutters, uses fully enclosed cable carriers from igus® on its CNC routers, which are designed to cut a variety of materials, including plastics, textiles, steel, wood, granite and marble. The cable carriers protect vital power and control cables from being damaged by flying debris during the cutting process. A tube version of igus’ ‘Rol-E-Chain’ cable carrier is used on each of the machine’s three axes. Rol-E-Chain cable carriers are ideal for the demanding operating schedule of the CNC routers, which requires some of them to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They can also handle the machine’s high speeds and extreme loads, which can reach 125 feet-per- CIEN RSC Ad Jan 11

minute and 9,000 pounds, respectively. The specially designed Rol-E-Chain system features hinged, snap-open lids and built-in wheels to facilitate travel over longer distances. The wheels are integrated into the cable carrier’s side link so friction is decreased and the drive power required to move the cable carrier is reduced by more than 25 percent. Interior separators are also used to prevent the cables from chafing, twisting or corkscrewing. Because of the all-plastic construction of the cable carriers, they are low noise, maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant. igus Inc. sales@igus.com, www.igus.com

PUlSAJET ® NOzzlES PROvIdE PRECISE COvERAGE WITH MINIMAl WASTE Electrically-actuated PulsaJet spray nozzles provide unmatched precision in coating, lubricating and marking operations. Accurate spray placement and excellent spray pattern integrity ensure the sprayed solution is delivered to the target with minimal waste. Plus, high speed cycling – up to 10,000 cycles per minute or more – enables faster line speeds and increased production. spray.com/pulsajet

AUTOJET® MOdEl 1550 MOdUlAR SPRAy SySTEMS OPTIMIzE NOzzlE PERfORMANCE, INCREASE EffICIENCy Automate manual spray operations in minutes. Eliminate drips, poor coverage and overspray by using this modular system with automatic nozzles. Use hydraulic PulsaJet nozzles to achieve low flow rates and eliminate the need for compressed air. spray.com/1550

A leading specialty products manufacturer was generating too much scrap. Over application of water distorted their finished product. Under application resulted in poor adhesion of a surface coating. An AutoJet® 1550 Modular Spray System and PulsaJet® spray nozzles solved the problem by precisely adjusting flow rate based on line speed. When line speeds change, the spray controller ensures the proper volume of water is uniformly applied for a perfect coating every time. The hydraulic PulsaJet nozzles with positive shut-off prevent dripping, misting and overspray.

The results: • Scrap reduced 88% • Maintenance time reduced 75%

PWM flOW CONTROl ENSURES UNIfORM COvERAGE, INCREASES OPERATING flExIbIlITy

• Costly compressed air eliminated

Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) flow control switches electrically-actuated PulsaJet nozzles on and off very quickly using an AutoJet spray controller. Flow rate is controlled by adjusting duty cycle and frequency instead of pressure. Benefits include almost instantaneous change of flow rate, high turndown ratios at a single pressure and consistent performance over a wide range of flow rates. spray.com/pwm
