Dynabrade Introduces New Line of Aluminum Housing Power Tools
Dynabrade, Inc.’s Newly refined Die Grinders, Disc Sanders and Drills are manufactured to ensure a lightweight tool. Excellent for or overhead or extended use. Each tool is manufactured with the rigidity and strength of a housing machined from a single piece of aluminum bar stock. Straight Line Die Grinders: Available in 25,000 and 30,000 RPM: These rear exhaust tools are widely used in aerospace manufacturing facilities for deburring and material removal applications. The straight-line design is ideal for applications in confined areas.
Right Angle Die Grinders: Available in 12,000 and 20,000 RPM: These rear exhaust tools provide greater torque under load when aggressive material removal is necessary. The compact size improves maneuverability and the precision gears provide enhanced durability and performance. An Extension Die Grinder is also offered. Available in 12,000 and 18,000 RPM, each tool features a ¼” collet. Ideal for use as both a Die Grinder and Disc Sander. Mini Right-Angle Drills: With eight models available with RPM’s from 900 to 5,000, each Drill features a Rotatable Head which is adjustable without tools. The head rotates in both a clockwise and counterclockwise direction; ideal for various drilling applications.
Pencil Die Grinder: Utilized in grinding and deburring applications where a high degree of precision is needed. At 100,000 RPM, the tool features low run out for smooth operations. The high RPM creates chatter free cutting and the top-quality bearings provide long tool life.
These new Dynabrade Aluminum Housing Air Tools are manufactured in the USA.
ABB Launches IRB1100 Robot And Omnicore™ Controller For Harsh Environments ABB is introducing a new harsh environment version of its IRB 1100 robot and OmniCore controller, designed with enhanced protection against water and dust. The entire body of the new IRB 1100 model has an IP67 rating, with all electrical components sealed against contaminants. This makes it resistant to water and provides the robot with complete protection from dust ingress. For manufacturers, the new IP67 protection rating will enable the robot to be used in applications generating substantial dust, water and debris including 3C polishing, wet grinding, buffing and deburring.

Customized Safety Lifting Devices For Any Application
Safely Lifts Up To 500 lbs! Ergonomic Portable Lightweight Meets OSHA & ASME Requirements
Integrated Air Bearings Make Machinery Hover: Reposition, Relocate, Reconfigure on the Fly In today’s manufacturing environment, moving machinery to optimize floor space, flex for lean manufacturing, or position for optimum productivity is imperative. Embedding air bearings on OEM machinery provides manufacturers the ultimate capability to adapt and flex to ever-changing manufacturing configurations. Embedded air bearings can now be designed into the OEM equipment via an online toolkit available from AeroGo. Air bearing systems utilize compressed air to lift and float heavy machines, structures and tooling within their own footprint. Air bearing technology eliminates friction – making heavy loads easy to move – and it floats on the surface without damaging the floor.

Introducing the Grizzly Model T31648 Metal Shrinker/ Stretcher Combo Pack Switch between metal shrinking and stretching operations without changing your tooling. Commonly used in autobody work, shrinker/ stretchers make curves in sheet metal by compressing, or "shrinking," it and expanding, or "stretching," your workpiece. With one dedicated shrinker and one dedicated stretcher, you can mount both tools to your workbench and switch between operations without having to change out your dies. All this for less than the cost of two separate tools. Workpiece capacity includes 16-gauge aluminum, 18-gauge mild steel, and 20-gauge stainless steel. The Model T31648 is covered by a one-year warranty.
C-FRAME PRESSES

Precise Grinding Through Stable, Symmetrical Design The development of the Multigrind ® CB XL design task included maintaining “small part” microns accuracy even on larger parts. The
solution was based on the award-winning, flagship Multigrind ® CB, a model designed from the beginning to be adapted and deployed for
future demanding grinding tasks. This new CB XL grinding center has
much of the same structural design as the CB, but with a “stretched”
X-axis and machine table. Due to its symmetric design, the Haas
Multigrind ® CB XL maintains stability and rigidity, regardless of part length. The effects of thermal growth are minimized because the
grinding contact point is always in the center of the “box” frame.
