LVD Enhances Axel 4020 With Load/Unload System

LVD has added the option of a load/unload system to its Axel 4020 laser-cutting system, providing continuous, uninterrupted dynamic laser-processing of sheets up to 4 x 2M. Axel 4020 combines linear drive technology, laser power and control systems for large sheet processing. The load/unload system can be easily retrofitted at any time and handles sheets up to 1000kg.

It allows loading and unloading functions to be performed independently, with a plate-to-plate changeover time of just 29 seconds. Integration of the load/unload system permits unattended production, freeing the operator to perform other tasks. The Axel 4020 machine and load/unload system feature a modular design, providing maximum efficiency in material handling while minimising the required floor space.

The loading station is equipped with spreading magnets, a peeling cup to separate non-ferrous material and a sheet-thickness measurement device. The loading mechanism moves only in a vertical direction for quick and safe loading of sheets from the loading station. The system is controlled through a single integrated and intuitive touch-screen CNC control.

The high beam-quality of the resonator allows processing of thin material at speeds up to 40m/min and thick material up to 25mm mild steel with high-quality surface finishes. The laser source, CNC, PLC and motors are integrated and interfaced as a complete system to optimise machine performance, offering high speed and reliability and low operating and maintenance costs.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
