A polished aluminum spool and steel...

Ergonomics Is Good Economics

While you don't need an MD to know that ergonomic designs are good for physical health, you probably didn't realize that these designs can actually be good for your economic health too.

Machining Centers offer traction drive technology.

JetMachiningÃ-® Centers are available with closed-loop Intelli-TRAXÃ-®, which optimizes traverse speeds to reduce throughput times when machining multiple and nested parts. Mechanical force needed to produce motion is obtained from friction wheel pressed tightly against rail and is controlled by operator. Linear encoder positioning system, featuring sensor with 1 Ã-µm resolution,...

Precision Stage features low profile design.

Measuring 27 mm H x 70 mm W, X-TREME(TM) Nano-translation Cross Roller Stage is driven by frictionless, linear servo motor and is capable of accuracies to .14 nm at speeds up to 6.5 m/s. Unit offers load bearing capacities up to 1,100 lb based upon 2 mil in. travel. Designed with doweled holes in base, stage can be mounted in single axis or X-Y configurations with no loss of capacity or speed.

Handheld Tool makes clean, smooth cuts to CSST.

RIDGIDÃ-® Model 151-CSST uses floating nylon guide wheels that run on corrugations of track when cutting flexible gas tubing in order to minimize rework otherwise caused by inconsistent or jagged cuts. While quick-acting mechanism allows cutter to be adjusted from 3/8-1 in. dia CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing), X-CEL(TM) ergonomic knob promotes user grip and allows for optimal...

Core Recycler features blade-free design.

Safe-Slab Core Recycler unwinds leftover roll material from cores so they can be reused and the scrap recycled. Unit provides variable unwinding speeds that allows for handling of rolls up to 5 ft wide and 18 in. in dia. With footprint of 48 x 74 in., system plugs into any grounded electrical outlet. Custom configurations are available.

Laser Center includes automatic material handling.

Featuring 5-axis gantry robot for material loading, sorting, and stacking, Model LC6 processes sheets up to 8 mm. System is based on Rofin Sinar 2,500 W diffusion-cooled CO2 SLAB laser with autofocus cutting head. Center's 3,000 mm X axis is actuated by rack-and-pinion system, while 1,500 mm Y axis is actuated by double ball screw. Two drop doors accommodate max component sizes of 300 x 400 mm...
