Read MoreScanning Measuring Machine For Small Shops
The DuraMax compact 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) features the VastXXT sensor and is said to be an alternative for virtually all types of gages. The company says this CMM is suited for process control on the production floor, for the quick in-between inspection of small workpieces and for testing volume parts directly in production. According to the company, the CMM is an alternative for traditional measuring equipment such as height gages, ring gages, snap gages, plug gages, form measuring machines, workshop measuring equipment and manual measuring machines.
Read MoreLive Centers Offer Accuracy Of 1 Micron
Gepy live centers from DA Swiss are offered with a setup accuracy of 1 micron (0. 000040") TIR. This level of precision is said to allow the use of a live center for applications where a dead center is normally required.
Read MoreRotating Hydraulic Vise Column
Jergens’ hydraulic vise column features a swivel coupling designed to save time by eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect the two hydraulic hoses as the column rotates. Each vise can be independently operated to quickly unload and load parts, and the compact rotary coupling does not interfere with tooling, the company says. According to the company, hydraulic power provides a fast, repeatable action that ensures consistent clamping force with as much as 4,700 lbs of clamping capacity.
Read MoreConvertible Abrasive Belt Machine
Dynabrade's Dynafile II air-powered abrasive belt machine features a grinding head that pivots 360 degrees, allowing the tool to get into heard-to-reach areas. The machine features a 20,000-rpm direct-drive air motor that powers abrasive belts 1/4" to 3/4" × 18" long. According to the company, the ergonomically designed motor handle has a 7-degree pitch to help prevent wrist and arm fatigue.

Bryant Grinder, a division of Vermont Machine Tool Corporation, introduces a new modular multi-surface grinding machine with extended flexibility to grind complex workpieces. The LL2U-MS can be configured as a chucker, shoe-type centerless, roll-type centerless and center-type work (between centers). The machine features 10" (255 mm) of Z-axis travel, 10" (255 mm) of X-axis travel and an optional U axis, also with 10" (255 mm) of travel.
Read MoreStand-Alone Marking Machine For Fast Parts Identification
The Tecnifor XF500 stand-alone marking machine is said to be easy to use for marking virtually all types of materials and shapes ranging to a hardness of 62 HRC. The machine features an integrated control unit, which operates without a computer interface. Designed to be hand loaded, the machine requires no installation or on-site training.
Read MoreRotary Table Absorbs High Shock Loads
Calmotion’s 5C rotary table is pre-wired for Fanuc and Fadal CNCs. The rotary table is designed to absorb higher shock loads—especially axial loads—and eliminate leaky seals, thereby increasing its life, the company says. The table features heat-treated steel and throated helix gears which increase the contact area.
