What’sNew Express Air clamping system Punch changeovers on a traditional clamp can cause considerable down time, leading to decreased productivity. The Express Air clamping system for European-style press brake tooling seats and clamps in seconds with the push of a button. It offers front and back clamping so set-ups and changeovers are faster than ever. The Express Air clamping system is a sectionalised punch clamp powered by standard shop air. Each section seats and clamps punches securely to the front and back of the beam, either remotely with the touch of a button or manually with the flip of a switch. Clamp sections are hardened with Nitrex surface treatment to 70 HRC for increased strength and durability. Sectionalised clamping offers maximum flexibility as sections can be pushed together for a solid beam or separated with gaps for box bending. Clamps are interchangeable with most original equipment manufacturer (OEM) holders for gradual transition to air power using several holders or all at once with holders for the entire length of the beam. Adding a clamping system to your press brake can reduce setup and changeover time. Company: Sheetmetal Tooling Tech Phone: (02) 8004 7027 Web: www.tooltech.com.au
A new embedded computer for high intensity applications Backplane Systems Technology is excited to present the new POC-500 series of ultra-compact embedded computers with 4x PoE+, 4x USB 3.0, and MezIO interface. The POC-500 series models are a set of next-generation ultra-compact embedded controllers offering performances never before seen in this kind of form factor. Featuring an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 4-core/ 8-thread processor, the POC-500 delivers up to three times the CPU performance of prior POC-series models. As for GPU performance, it delivers 3.6 TFLOPS in FP16 for an ultra-compact form factor embedded controller. Additionally, it manages to incorporate an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD to support four times the disk read/write speed of typical 2.5 inch (6.35cm) SATA SSDs. This new series continues the ingenious DIN-rail mounting mechanical design trend of previous POC-series models and offers a wealth of front-accessible I/O. Measuring just 63 x 176 x 116mm, it has 4x PoE+ ports, 4x USB 3.0 ports, and 4x COM ports. Best of all, all data ports come with a screw-lock mechanism so you can rest assured that cables are always secured. The POC-500 series models are available in two CPU variants: the V1807B (45W) variant is for high computing power demand, while the V1605B (15W) variant is designed for rugged fan-less operation. The arrival of the POC-500 series signals a new breed of ultra-compact embedded controller with better I/O design, extraordinary ruggedness, and significantly more CPU/GPU oomph for versatile applications.
