Launched in 2003, with more than 1000 licences in use around the world, the Type3 software enables the creation of text and the integration of symbols or logos with just a few clicks in CATIA V5, to identify, mark, decorate or personalise parts during the design stages. In the new version, Type3 CAAV5 Based V.5.10, a number of innovations have been introduced to optimise the process further and make it easier to use. These include the entry of text from a single point, deformation-free projections and dongle-free operation.
The COSCOM KPI (Key Performance Indicator) module is designed as a Web application to give users location-independent access to corporate data and analyses at all times. Online visualisation provides real-time information on the progress of the process. This allows optimisation and organisational measures to be initiated while the process is still underway.
Souriau, the world leader in multi-position circular connectors for harsh operating environments, is launching a new range of miniature connectors developed from the MIL-DTL-38999: micro38999. This new range offers the best possible performance – in the most compact models on the market. The micro38999 allows size and weight savings of 50% compared to the smallest MIL-DTL38999 Series III units.
Due to the constant, impact-free slip torque, hysteresis capping heads are better suited for sealing plastic bottles and non-returnable glass bottles than permanent magnet heads. The technically advanced ROBA®-capping head components by mayr® power transmission are based on the patented ROBA®-contitorque hysteresis clutch, which has been used in the market successfully in various applications for more than 10 years.
The new Falcon industrial broadband router with integrated Ethernet routing switch is designed to provide two-way high-speed secure communication between remote sites enabling economical and reliable connection to equipment such as SCADA, PLCs, RTUs and I/O devices.
DZ 12K S MAGNUM five axis is a double-spindle, highly productive, 5-axis complete machining center with 2-axis tilt rotary table for milling and turning complex workpieces in one set-up. The possibility of complete machining in a single set-up reduces the total machining time and the costs per piece, simplifies material flows and allows customers to manufacture with less staff. Compared to the single-spindle solution, DZ 12K S MAGNUM five axis doubles the productivity while saving up to 30% in energy costs at the same time.
This solution can be used to produce permanent marking at an unrivalled depth. All that is required for operation is a standard electrical supply (between 90 and 230 V). Remarkably quiet in operation, this equipment is notable for its flexibility and ease of use. Whether being used on tubes or a flat surface, all that is needed is to position it on the part, without the need for any other clamping or positioning tools. It is designed for use on pipes of all kinds (oil , mining, gas), lifting equipment (pallet trucks, forklift trucks), works vehicles, boatbuilding, or structural steelwork.
The P5000ZEM provides a column-mounted micro-percussion marking solution. What sets this machine apart is its ease of use, the precision of its marking, and its motorised Z axis which incorporates a probe, so that it can find the marking surface independently. It is designed for marking of single items and short production runs, for numerous applications: traceability of parts batches across a workshop, marking stations for aeronautical parts, tool identification etc...
A unique challenge saw KraneQuip, Verlinde reseller in New Zealand, done its thinking caps to design and build a 16 tonne crane for a tight space at NZ Steel.
Iberdrola Renewables, the second-largest energy provider in North America has chosen PC VUE SCADA system to monitor it’s US wind farms, producing 3,600 megawatts of wind power over 35 independent power plants. Each of the 2479 wind turbine supplies about 300 to 350 data points, which equates to approximately 700,000 to 850,000 I/O data points on nearly two dozen servers.
