SHEFFER HYDRAULIC PRODUCTS

QUALITY FEATURES… Sheffer cylinders are designed not only for exceptional performance, but for fast and easy installation and parts replacement to minimize downtime. STUDDED ROD ENDS: Sheffer’s design virtually eliminates breakage by outing stress away from a common weak point. SEPARATE ROD BEARING: On most Sheffer cylinders, the hydrodynamic “flooded bearing” greatly reduces wear and extends part life. SLIPPER PISTON SEAL AND BEARING: Standard on all hydraulic cylinders. Teflon surfaces provide excellent lubrication, reduce heat and friction. FOUR FULL WRENCH FLATS: Designed to avoid damage to the rod surface during installation or replacement. CHAMFERED TUBE ENDS: When replacing seals, the chamfer compresses the seal into the piston, minimizes seal damage.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS… The Hydraulic line consists of three series. The MH and HH models feature interchangeable dimensions with ANSI, NFPA, and JIC. MH: Medium-Duty, Bores to 8’’, 800 to 2,000 PSI, 20 standard mountings. HH: Heavy-Duty, Bores to 24’’, 3,000 working PSI, 22 standard mountings. UH: Ultra High Pressure, Bores to 14’’, 5,000 PSI, 8 standard mountings.

PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS… The Pneumatic line consists of four series. The MA and A models feature interchangeable dimensions with ANSI, NFPA, and JIC. MA: Medium-Duty, Bores to 8’’, 200 PSI, 14 standard mountings. A: Heavy-Duty, Bores to 14’’, 250 PSI, 20 standard mountings.

Jergens Inc. Introduces New Compact Zero-Point System (Zps) Modules and Pull Studs

Jergens now offers two new ZPS installation choices for compact, light duty applications. SP140 and K02 pull studs utilize pneumatics and a mechanical spring in a small package. Together they offer quickchange solutions for vise or gripper jaws, electronic component manufacturing, packaging machines, medical technology, and automation.

SP140, the smallest clamping module on the market, features a threaded body for low profile installation. No external fasteners or clamps are needed for securing in a plate. This allows for flexible mounting options along with the fact that pneumatic pressure can be supplied manifold style through the subplate or through external lines ported into the bottom of the module. The pull studs are offered in Zero Point, timing, and clearance configurations, similar to larger ZPS systems.

SP140 and K02 are part of the vast ZPS offering which uses either pneumatic or hydraulic modules to fix, position, and clamp all in one step. additionally, ZPS ensures repeatability of up to 0.0002”, and reduces cycle times by up to 90%. Users quickly and accurately locate and clamp vises or fixtures, or if preferred, attach retention studs to workpieces and then direct mount components for machining or welding, avoiding potential interference from jaws or clamps.

GFRP part inspection by robot with terahertz sensor

Multimodal non-destructive testing augmented with a new discipline.

Spectroscopy by means of ultra-short waves in the terahertz range is a very promising method for volumetric testing in non-conductive materials. It has been integrated for the first time as an additional technology in a multimodal accUBOT non-destructive testing (NDT) system from Fill as part of the three-year “aTTIc ” ( automated TeraherTz Imaging of composites and tooling profiling) project with international involvement run by EUrEK a Glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFrPs) and renewable natural materials, such as wood and cork, are being used ever more widely in industrial lightweight construction. Damage invisible to the naked eye after forming processes and mechanical processing makes continuous quality control of lightweight components indispensable.

Between radio and light waves

One relatively new technique for volumetric non-destructive testing (NDT) in non-conductive materials is spectroscopy by means of ultra-short waves in the terahertz spectrum (Thz-Imaging). This frequency band extends from approx. 100 G hz to 10 Thz (0.05 – 3.0 mm wavelength) and forms the boundary between radio and light waves. Thz-Imaging enables contactless examinations of GFrP or wooden parts without any special safety precautions. In addition, it can be used for examining foams or for determining the weld quality of thermoplastics.

alongside production systems for the automotive, aviation, sports, and construction industries, Fill develops and produces automated solutions for non-destructive materials testing. In addition, the company has developed a solution with the high-precision accUBOT robots that can operate both independently and jointly on linear axes running in parallel. These systems can perform inspections with different methods. an additional rotatory servo axis at the tool center point also enables component testing in small, highly contorted areas.

Terahertz testing for industrial use

The possible uses of terahertz spectroscopy for plastic applications have previously been restricted to laboratory operations. Fill participated in the three-year aTTIc ( automated TeraherTz Imaging of composites and tooling profiling) EUrEK a project to develop a robot-based automated process for the production and subsequent inspection of drill holes in glass-fiber-reinforced composites. This process involves fully-automatic inspection of the material around the drill hole for defects using Thz-Imaging. Integration of a Thz spectrometer on a Flexchange quick connector flange ensured swift implementation of this technology in a robot-based inspection system from Fill. The flexible system enables use of Thz-Imaging for fiber-composite parts, even if these are contorted or freely formed. The same applies to inspection of the internal supporting structures of complex formed parts from additive production.

Important step towards product maturity

“In the aTTIc project, Thz-Imaging achieved Technology readiness Level (TrL) 5 as another technology for our multimodal automatic NDT systems,” explains harald Sehrschön, research and Development Team Leader at Fill. “Integration of Thz-Imaging spectrometry in fully-automatic NDT systems would enable a change in methodology in automated non-destructive component testing for many manufacturers. however, there is still much to do before application in a customer project.”
