Honing System features all-electric design.

Sunnen Products Co.
St. Louis, MO 63143

HTA actuator hone is engineered for hydraulic service facilities doing resurfacing and repair of actuators for construction, mining, farming, and forestry equipment. Equipped with Siemens drives and PLC with touch-screen HMI, solution is available for 6 and 12 ft long parts, with bore ID of 2.5-21 in., max part OD of 24 in., and weights to 4,000 lb. Control features load meter, capabilities for dwelling tool in multiple areas, and automatic tool tensioning.

High Pressure Tooling Solutions suit turning applications.

Sandvik Coromant Co.
Fair Lawn, NJ 07410

Serration Lock head model SL40 offers modular, exchangeable head connection for boring bars in internal machining applications, while SL70 provides modular, exchangeable blades for profile grooving with round inserts and CoroCut® grooving system for lathes, multi-task machines, and VTLs. High-pressure coolant system harnesses pump capability and channels jet through nozzles. Resulting increase in focus and velocity of coolant jet reduces contact between rake face of insert and chip.

Handheld Tool makes clean, smooth cuts to CSST.

Emerson Electric Co.
St. Louis, MO 63136 8506

RIDGID® 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 application of force.

Folder Inserters help optimize mailroom productivity.

Neopost
Hayward, CA 94544

Featuring modular, upgradeable design, Models DS-140 and DS-1000 provide rapid changeover in less than 2 min, speeding transition between jobs with different settings. All system adjustments are PC-driven and fully automated. Interface offers access to production data and reports, including complete real-time status of running jobs. Detailed statistics and data logging facilities allow operator to verify that documents have been correctly processed and obtain audit trail reports.

Fiber Laser Cutting Machine offers continuous operation.

Laser Photonics, Inc.
Lake Mary, FL 32746

Suited for manufacturers of food processing machines, Titan FLS 48 is designed to cut metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, and most other highly reflective metals. Since high-power lasers make precise and clean cuts, edges do not require post processing stage, speeding production time for manufacturers.

Diaphragm Chuck is developed for indicator manufacturers

Northfield Precision Instrument Corp.
Island Park, NY 11558

Designed for manufacturers of electronic and mechanical indicators, Model DPH-600 is 6 in., 10,000 rpm, totally sealed, TIR diaphragm chuck with special jaws, stop, and changeable fixtures. It enhances and increases production of machining 2 bores that guide indicator rod. Once side is machined, fixture is turned over, and second side is machined; alignment of 1/10,000 TIR is achieved bore to bore. Accuracies of 0.001-0.00001 in. is ensured.

Diamond Saw Blades come in 26 general-purpose versions.

Stone Construction Equipment, Inc.
Honeoye, NY 14471

Covering most common sizes for variety of cutting applications, Saw-lect(TM) and Saw-preme(TM) range of blades are laser-welded and well balanced to deliver fast and straight cuts. Sizes range from 12-20 in., with bond ratings from 3-8 to cut brick, block, stone, cured concrete, green concrete, asphalt, and asphalt over concrete. Blades fit all 1 in. arbors and can be used wet or dry, as well as on high-speed saws.

Desktop System accelerates nanoarray fabrication

NanoInk, Inc.
Chicago, IL 60607

Model NLP 2000 enables patterns of nano- to micro-sized features to be created using various materials, from metal nanoparticles to biomolecules. Capabilities enable researchers to design and create custom-engineered and functionalized surfaces using Dip Pen Nanolithography® technique to transfer nanoliter or smaller amounts over environmentally controlled area as large as 40 x 40 mm. Pens deliver spot size over range of 50 nm up to tens of microns.
