Integrated Die-Sinking Oil Field Special System
GF AgieCharmilles designed the AT Spirit 4 OFS with a special opening on the work table that allows tall parts with a maximum ø9.84" to sit inside the dielectric tank. The opening can be self-contained in the machine or configured to go completely through the casting and a specially prepared foundation for extra long tube or pipe applications.
Featuring a CE compliant design that provides thermal stability over long periods of time, the AT Spirit 4 OFS has a manual-centering mode that precisely centers an electrode in an existing cavity. This feature is useful for repairs and minimizing time spent on CNC programming. gfac.com/us

Flat Charge Laminator
The highly repeatable Flat Charge Laminator from MAG Industrial Automation Systems reduces labor, while improving part quality, productivity, and consistency. With four heads dedicated to four different materials, the servo-controlled machine produces constant or variable thickness laminates on a segmented vacuum table, compacting the layers with a force of 13.6kg to 136 kg (30lb to 300 lb). Maximum material width is 300mm (12") on rolls up to 635mm (25") diameter and weighing up to 150 lbs. The machine features four servo-controlled dispensing heads on a placement carriage that moves on rails integrated with the vacuum bed. The servo-powered placement carriage is driven by rack-and-pinion system. mag-ias.com

Controller Firmware Revision
VersaMax Micro Plus controller firmware revision 4.0 has been released by GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. This revision expands the controller’s applicability by integrating new features. Once such feature is OnLine Programming, which enables the user to edit and download logic to the PLC without stopping it. Not requiring a PLC to come off line for changes saves significant downtime and potential expense for lost productivity and scrap. The OnLine programming streamlines debugging during machine commissioning and is ideal for applications that are continuous process. Another feature is that VersaMax Micro Plus has been enhanced to support Ethernet Modbus TCP Client and Server protocol. gefanuc.com

Sealed Sliding Jaw Chucks
Using specially designed master jaws, internal parts, and high quality Teflon seals to create an airtight seal, SMW Autoblok sealed chucks keep chips, dirt, and fluids out of the chuck body. This design prevents contamination of the chuck’s internal components, even in aggressive applications such as cast iron machining, dry machining, and machining with high-pressure coolant. The sealed chucks allow for six-month lubrication intervals, eliminating lost production time and increased costs associated with daily lubrication. These chucks automatically distribute lubrication to all internal components, providing longer workholding life over traditional sliding jaw chucks. Additionally, since no lubrication is lost, SMW Autoblok’s sealed sliding jaw chucks are able to maintain constant gripping force throughout the lubrication interval. smwautoblok.com

Large Size Couplings
Designed to improve performance for demanding applications in the largest machine tools, Sandvik Coromant’s C10 coupling allows higher feeds and depths of cut to be achieved when machining components for the aerospace, gas turbine, and railway wheel turning industries.
The C10 coupling has a flange diameter of 100mm (3.937”), which effectively transmits torques generated at heavier loads to not only provide higher bending strength and metal removal rates, but also improve accuracy in the application area. This coupling size also achieves maximum stability for turning and milling tools and provides high rigidity for extended tool setups. coromant.sandvik.com/us
