EasyForm
3.0 dimensional metrology system from
Mahr Federal Inc. provides a
touchscreen interface that guides operators through measurement setup and
operation. A teach-in mode remembers every step taken and can easily combine
steps to perform repetitive multi-feature measurements. Measurement results are
displayed on the screen, including 3D representation, with color or grid lines,
providing an interactive graphic preview. Results can be printed, saved in file
formats such as PDF, or exported for analysis in ASCII or optionally in QS-Stat
formats. The software can exclude certain trace data after measuring or
analyzing part features. This allows inadvertent data from dirt, or from
recurring features such as splines or grooves, to be removed from consideration
without remeasurement. Also included are options for output formatting to
enhance the usability of the results for different users. To support
applications on CNC systems as well as basic manual systems, abilities to
separate positioning movement of the probe or measuring device from evaluation
has been added. For manufacturers of high-precision parts interested in harmonic
analysis, EasyForm offers a variety of analysis methods including basic Fourier
analyses, input of multiple bands, and generation of tolerance curves for the
histogram. For additional information, e-mail

LVD Strippit introduces a line of PPEC
mid-range press brakes
|
LVD Strippit
introduces a line of PPEC mid-range press brakes for less challenging forming
applications. The line includes the PPEC-6 and PPEC-7 models with capacities
from 80 tons and 2m, up to 220 tons and 4.2m, with four to seven CNC controlled
axes, depending upon machine model. The press brakes have a welded one-piece
frame machined without repositioning. Hydraulic cylinders are machined from a
solid steel billet. Pistons are steel forgings, precision ground, and
micropolished. Microprocessor technology is linked to servo-controlled
hydraulics and electronics for optimum control of the bending. Double bed
referenced encoders are connected to the bed in such a way that deformation of
the side frames during bending does not influence the positioning accuracy of
0.01 mm of the upper beam Y1-Y2. A two-axis backgauge allows X-axis depth and
R-axis height positioning of the two standard backgauge fingers. The standard
PPEC backgauge fingers allow gauging to 39.4″ and serve as material supports.
PPEC-4 and PPEC-5 models can be fitted with an additional third finger support
for bending channels. For more information, call 800.828.1527, or visit the
LVD Strippit website.

The Pro
Pegasus DS Mitre Semi-Automatic Saws, from
Pat Mooney Inc. The Saw
Company, feature 1¼-wide saw blades. The gear-drive saws have an electronic
display of the cutting angle. the saws perform semi-automatic operations,
including positive hydraulic cutting control, hydraulic clamping, and auto
return of the saw head after the cutting cycle. Its swivel saw head mitre cuts
up to 60ŗ both left and right. The saw head rotates via a rack and pinion
system. The saws have a locking cabinet, carbide blade guides with roller
guides, and case-hardened and ground helical gears. Variable blade speeds from
50 to 400 fpm are controlled via the saws inverter. Cutting capacities are
12½×20″. For more information, e-mail
Pat Mooney Inc. The Saw Company or call 800.323.7503.

The MP63 3-axis micro manipulator module from
Steinmeyer, Inc.
|
The MP63 3
axis micro manipulator module from
Steinmeyer, Inc., is a
fully-enclosed 3-axis positioner with 25mm stroke in each direction. Included
are DC gear motors, rotary encoders, lead screws, and non-contact limit
switches. Accuracy in each direction is 5µ with ±1 micron repeatability.
Standard straightness and flatness is ±3µ, with 1µ available as an option. The
assembly weighs about 2 kg. All cable connectors are located on one end. For
more information call 781.273.6220.

The 5AX-201 rotary table from Lyndex-Nikken
|
The
5AX-201 rotary table from
Lyndex-Nikken features a 8″ faceplate trunion work envelope that can be
incorporated in smaller BT30 vertical machining centers such as the Fanuc
Robodrill, Brother Drill and Tap, and Kitamura Mycenter. It provides a
workholding space once associated with larger 40-taper machines, but with a body
design for use in conjunction with BT30 machines. The carbide worm system uses a
carbide worm screw and ion nitrided worm wheel rather than a conventional bronze
or bronze-alloy actuation mechanism. The result is a reduction in friction and
wear by up to eight times, according to the manufacturer. The worm screw
consists of a less brittle V-grade form of carbide, while the worm gear is ion
nitrided to a depth of 0.1mm and an external surface hardness of 68RC.
These properties, as well as a steel way hardened to 58-60 RC, add to
system rigidity and longevity. To machine five sides of a workpiece, the 5AX-201
features a drop trunion and rotary/tilting axis clamping torque of 434 and 452
ft/lb. For more information, visit the
Lyndex-Nikken, Inc.,
website, call 800.543.6237, or e-mail
