MACHINING CUTTERS

Seco Tools announces the addition of JHP490 for aluminum and JHP760 for stainless steel to its family of Jabro High Performance Machining (HPM) cutters. The Jabro HPM solid carbide milling cutters feature a high helix and uniquely designed flute cavity resulting in good chip evacuation. A thick core body offers increased rigidity and the cutting edge design can handle both high strength and low cutting forces. These geometric characteristics are optimized with a specially adapted carbide substrate and TiAIN coating.

The digitally controlled WELDPLAST S2 PVC hand extruder is designed for use on PVC-U, HD-PE, LD-PE and PP membranes and produces plastic welding results easily and efficiently. It uses either 3- or 4-mm welding rod, which is conveniently fed into the extrusion section of the welder at one of two points around the barrel. It provides output of up to 2.7 kg/hour. The exclusive rod feed design minimizes excessive twisting of the welding rod during feeding, which reduces “bird nesting” and stoppages. Its ergonomic design is especially well suited for plastic welding in tight spaces. The tool features integrated digital electronics with a digital display for precise adjustment and control of preheat air temperature, extrudate temperature and the output rate. Its built-in protection circuit prevents the extruder drive from cold starting.

THICKNESS GAUGE

The REED ultrasonic thickness gauge TM-8811 features the exclusive microcomputer LSI circuit & crystal time base which offers a high accuracy of +/-0.5% +0.1mm. The digital display always provides exact readings. The broad band receiving sensitivity means the meter can read probes of different frequencies. The instrument also features auto calibration, automatic material calibration, metric or imperial selectable as well as the option to display sound velocity at the touch of a button. The gauge measures the thickness of steel, cast iron, aluminum, red copper, zinc, quartz glass, polyethylene, PVC, gray cast iron and modular cast iron.

HANDHELD MANOMETER

The Omega Engineering HH350 series is a high performance handheld digital manometer with many features found in more expensive units. The HHP351 has an accuracy of 0.05% FS, independent of temperature, while the HHP352 is 0.025%. Both models can display 11 different pressure scales as well as one user defined scale. MIN/MAX capture, display damping, backlit display, display hold, auto off and leak test functions are all standard features. In addition, a record feature allows manual or automatic storage of up to 240 readings for future recall.

Both models include NIST traceable calibration certificates.

MOBILE ANCHOR SYSTEM

The WEIGHTANKA is a non-penetrating, portable, deadweight anchor device designed for use on roofs with up to a 5-degree pitch where installation of passive or collective protection, such as guardrails or permanent anchor devices is not viable because of restricted means of safe access. It utilizes a central pedestal (attachment point) to raise the height at which the arrest force is applied, thus reducing the distance the anchor device moves during a fall-arrest event. A basic system weighs 250 kg, with no single item weighing more than 25 kg for ease of installation and provides fall protection for one or two workers that remain at least 50 cm away from the roof edge. It is designed for use with personal protection equipment such as harnesses.

NANOSILICA FILLED EPOXY

Master Bond UV22 is a nanosilica reinforced, UV curable epoxy system that offers a combination of properties not available in conventional epoxy systems.

The nano-sized filler gives the cured system exceptional abrasion resistance, excellent optical clarity, low shrinkage and superb physical strength properties, while still allowing the product to have a low viscosity of 4,000 cps. UV22 cures rapidly upon exposure to UV light at room temperatures. It is a single component system and requires no mixing. It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and is a superior electrical insulator.

The new Motion Programming Script (MPS) is an easy-to-use, network-enabled implementation of a BASIC-like programming language with commands added specifically for motion control. It empowers electrical and mechanical engineers with relatively little programming knowledge to quickly write complex motion sequences and program equipment via short, easy-to-use and intuitively-named commands. The MPS is especially useful in stage gantry and robotics applications, where the need for complex motion intersects with the need for simple commands.

LINEAR MOTION STAGES

MMG Mini-Mag precision linear motion stages provide greater machine uptime for end users in production environments. The ability to deliver MMG prototypes rapidly speeds the proof-of-concept phase of an instrument under development. Four models are available that deliver 25mm, 40mm, 100mm, and 500mm travel, respectively.

They provide accuracy ranging from 2um to 8um and resolution ranging from 1.0um to 5nm. Each model delivers repeatability to +/0.4um and is rated for 8kg load capacity. The Integral anti-creep linear guideway can increase uptime by as much as 15% in high duty cycle applications by eliminating the need for homing moves typically required to reset standard crossed roller bearing retainer cages.

HALF-MASK RESPIRATOR

The Advantage 420 Respirator allows users to quickly adjust the mask according to individual needs. Its Anthro-Curve™ II multi-ethnic face-seal design adapts precisely to different head sizes and facial contours. Its UniBond facepiece helps to eliminate multiple leak paths while the textured sealing surface reduces facepiece slippage when working in hot, humid conditions.

Its yoke and harness design enables quick and easy switch between lock-down and drop-down harness options.

NEW LENS TINTS

Track-Vision safety backup cameras are mounted on the back of heavy equipment and a 7” colour flat screen LCD is installed in the cab. Additional cameras can be added to increase visibility around the vehicle. Each component has been tested to endure the most severe vibration, dust and temperature fluctuations over years of usage. The camera is also highly accurate in extreme low-light conditions. The camera’s features include 115° wide-angle viewing, heated lens surface to prevent condensation or frost, nitrogen-filled, 100% watertight. The special monitor features monitor brightness automatically adjusted to brightness levels, aluminum casing with integrated sun cover, shockproof and vibration-resistant.

The new SensGard® Hardhat Adaptor allows workers in hardhat environments to use comfortable SensGard hearing protection devices. The adapter clips to the back of virtually any hardhat and is designed for use with either the SensGard SG26 or SG 31 hearing protection model. The SensGard system, combining either model with the Hardhat Adaptor, weighs less than 2 ounces, yet both components are rugged and durable, even in hot and cold temperature extremes. The SG26 and SG31 have noise reduction ratings of 26 and 31 decibels, respectively, making the system ideal for use in extreme noise environments. They incorporate patented ZEM technology that uses the mechanical energy of sound waves instead of electronics to minimize sound before it reaches the ears.

HARDHAT ADAPTOR

These Neck Shades are made to easily attach to any hardhat in seconds. They provide shade for the side of the worker’s head as well as the neck and shoulders.

The material of the basic model is lightweight polyester, which allows air to easily pass through ensuring comfort even in the hottest days of summer. Neck Shades are also made from Arc Flash/Fire Resistant fabric and waterproof Nylon for rain, snow and chemicals. Small slips come with every neck shade to anchor it to the shirt collar so it won’t flap around in the wind. Two Hi-Vis colours (fluorescent orange and fluorescent yellow-green) are offered.

Hellberg Safety

GunJet® Spray Guns ensure water is “on” only when needed

Change the Way You Spray To Save Water and Air There are many ways to reduce water and compressed air consumption without compromising performance in cleaning, cooling, drying and blow-off operations. Here are just a few: • Reduce compressed air consumption by up to 90% using air nozzles instead of open or slit pipes • Eliminate compressed air use completely by using air knife packages powered by reliable regenerative blowers • Automate cleaning of totes, tanks and vats with tank wash nozzles to reduce water and chemical use • Replace open hoses with spray guns and reduce water use by 50% or more
