By Gresham, Robert M When it comes to evaluating additives used in metalworking fluids, chemists and suppliers take a close look at compatibility and performance issues.
Designed to machine parts with up to 9.8 in. dia, DVH250i duo vertical pick-up turning center includes shuttle-type part feeder and enables parallel production of 2 identical or different parts simultaneously at rates up to 200 parts/hr. Machine has work envelope of 11.8 x 7.9 in. and requires 64.6 sq ft floor space, with axis traverse rates of 1,772 ipm in X direction and 1,181 ipm in Z
Providing X, Y, Z travels of 30 x 26 x 26 in., 50 taper Model HMC-500H includes Schneeberger roller type linear ways on all axes and pre-tensioned ball screws that virtually eliminate thermal expansion. Moving saddle design employs box-in-box construction that keeps spindle movement confined inside box-shaped column casting. Directly coupled to Fanuc spindle motor, 3.54 in. dia spindle produces
Utilizing twin ballscrew-driven axes configuration in X-Y-Z and basic B-axis table, 5-axis Model MEGA5-800 incorporates A-axis tilt-spindle with 180° sweep. Machine accommodates parts up to 1,300 mm diameter and 2,000 mm high while providing X, Y, Z axis travels of 1,425, 1,325, and 1,265 mm. Feed rate is 60 m/min and acceleration/deceleration rate is 1 G. Intended for hard metal applications, XT
American troops drive 10,000 Humvees in Iraq. But if the U.S. Army suddenly needed 10,000 more of the slab-sided trucks for the war, the Indiana factory that makes them could not soon deliver.
Constructed with Erium(TM) 3000 rare earth magnet material, SafeHold® XPL Magnets feature 2-pole design that enables users to lift flat materials up to 2,400 lb and round materials up to 1,600 lb. Units can lift and transfer steel and iron without slings, hooks, or cables. With internal on/off changeover mechanism, there is no scratching of work surface when loading/unloading. Since no

Available as portable system (VP), downdraft bench (VB), and self-contained unit (VF), V Series captures contaminants at source with parabolic swing arm, downdraft table, or ducted inlet respectively. Series works in processes such as metalworking, grinding, blending, filling, and packaging. Available with selection of filters, products remove contaminants from air and return clean air to work
