BOOTH: 732 Allied Machine Releases T-A Pro Drill High-Speed Steel Geometry

As the most recent addition to the T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system, this insert demonstrates that the best just keeps getting better. Not only are the faster penetration rates maintained, but in using the redesigned body of the T-A Pro, maximum coolant flow and excellent rigidity are also present when utilizing the high-speed steel geometry. This offers machine shops and manufacturers a spade drill that operates at incredible speeds and a cost per hole that averages 25 percent less than other existing drills.

BOOTH: 726 VERICUT Version 9.2 – Increase Productivity and Sustainability

CGTech is pleased to announce the latest release of VERICUT software, Version 9.2. VERICUT CNC machine simulation, verification, and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, additive, and hybrid manufacturing processes. VERICUT 9.2 brings significant speed increases and improved accuracy to collision checking and overall performance. Users gain substantial speed increases for deep concave collision penetration, turning operations (especially inside diameter work on large parts), and collision checking between highly detailed models such as those having high triangle counts. Simulate material removal at tight cutting resolutions up to 30 percent faster.

BOOTH: 627 ESPRIT CAM Improves Productivity For Long Part Machining By Automating Multi-Spindle Program Creation

New computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) technology has been introduced by ESPRIT CAM, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division that provides manufacturers with the control and flexibility needed to use multi-spindle and multi-channel computer-numerical-control (CNC) machinery for the machining of long parts. More accurate simulation of spindle transfers and bar pulls enables manufacturers to exploit multi-tasking machinery with high productivity program creation of error-free toolpaths. ESPRIT TNG now also enables manufacturers to perform face-milling operations with a unique “roll-in” lead-in strategy recommended by Sandvik Coromant to improve surface quality, reduce cycle time, and extend tool life.

BOOTH: 620 FANUC Expands Line of High-Performance Scara Robots

FANUC’s family of 4-axis SCARA robots has grown to include the SR-3iA, SR-6iA, SR-12iA, and new SR-20iA models with 3kg, 6kg, 12kg and 20kg payload capacities, and a 400-1,100mm reach, respectively. The small SR-3iA and SR-6iA SCARAs have a compact footprint and space-saving design for maximum efficiency. In addition, the SR-3iA/H and SR-6iA/H are 3-axis variants that provide strong performance and an affordable alternative to small linear slide products. The higher-payload SR-12iA and SR-20iA provide flexibility with a large vertical stroke, and an environmental option for harsh conditions. All of FANUC’s SCARA robots include superior robot motion, high-speed operation and ultimate precision.

BOOTH: 611 Save Time And Enhance Productivity With The KONTEC KSC Mini from SCHUNK

Speed is the key to success – especially when it comes to handling of parts to be clamped. Flexibility is also a factor that must not be neglected. The new SCHUNK KONTEC KSC mini small parts vise addresses both with easy handling and high clamping force. Its jaw quickchange system enables users to convert the compact vise efficiently and without tools in no time at all. Users can exchange the jaws by simply clicking in and out.The KONTEC KSC mini is the vise of choice for flexible use in efficient blank and finish part machining.

low speed high-torque

motors… The Char-Lynn motor range consists of three major types based on the valving used to distribute fluid through the Orbit gear set (geroler or gerotor), Spool Valve, Disc Valve and VIS (Valve-in-Star). A variety of displacement sizes are available in each of the three motor types to provide a wide range of speeds and torques.

gear pumps… Eaton Series 26 gear pumps with 13-tooth gears minimizes flow ripple to reduce noise and vibration. Bearing lubrication system uses inlet oil rather than high pressure oil, improving volumetric efficiency and power output. The 13 available displacements and many mounting configurations provide for an easy retrofit. Other series available.

steering control units… offer these advantages:

• Minimal steering linkage reduces cost, provides design flexibility. • Complete isolation of load forces from the control station. • Continuous, unlimited control action with low output torque. • Wide selection of control circuits and meter sizes. • Works with many kinds of power steering pumps or fluid supply.

high pressure checkball piston pumps… Dynex high

pressure hydraulic pumps with positive-seating checkball valves provide better wear and high volumetric efficiency. Pumps operate at pressures to 20,000 psi. Checkball pumps are ideal for hydraulic systems with demanding conditions and accommodate more force in a smaller package. At lower pressures, they provide the life and performance margin essential in critical environments. Checkball fixed displacement pumps offer flows from 0.22 to 60 U.S. gpm at 1800 rpm. directional control valves…

• HP Pattern Spool Valves — Simple spool valves eliminate complex valve circuits for fourway control in high pressure systems. HP03 pattern valves are rated for 15 U.S. gpm at 10,000 psi, HP05 pattern rated from 5 to 25 U.S. gpm at 8000 psi. • NFPA/ISO Pattern Valves — Smooth spool movement with fourland design offers low pressure drop with large internal flow passages. 5000 psi valves rated to 165 U.S. gpm. • VST Series Seated Valves — High pressure with low leakage.

Reliable shifting with non-silting ball-on-seat design. • Explosion Proof Option — Solenoids with special enclosures designed for use in hazardous locations. UL and CSA approved. • Accessory Sandwich Valves — Mounts under directional valves, saves space, reduces weight and provides flexibility locating valves.
