Mectron advances crack detection standards
Mectron has introduced its new Optical Analyser, a patent pending technology
which uses a combination of chamfer directed, high intensity LED lights. These
are mirrored to a contoured shroud, which allows the vision system to provide
360 degree control that actually allows the camera to look behind and around
profiles of the fastener.
Mectron uses the latest image collection data on the market. A Cognex high
resolution camera system mounted to a simple indexed plate that allows the
camera and lighting system to maintain a consistent optimal angle of viewing and
ease of set up.
“In the past, vision system software was very cumbersome and difficult to use.
Our software engineers have created and integrated simple tools that make setups
simple and fast. The software is controlled through our standard on board touch
screen.”
The Optical Analyser is now available for use with any of Mectron’s new
machines. The technology is also capable of being added to any of the 500+
machines already in the field.
“The design allows our customers to achieve better than the industry standard on
all forms of cracks, regardless of how they are created.”
Uysal Makina continues investment
Uysal Makina, founded to apply the coating needs of Norm Civata, continues new investments for increasing quality demands of
automotive customers by introducing a new fully automatic Alcaline Zn/Ni line which will be operational in February 2009.
Uysal Makina’s coating line park continues expanding day by day. “Our existing MacDermid licensed Zinklad® 250 Cr+6 free acidic Zn line and
Doerken MKS ® licenced Cr free Delta Protekt Al/Zn line have proved themselves with the high quality and efficiency the products have been
produced.”
The new process will use the chemicals of MacDermid and the ZINKLAD 1000/1000B process. Uysal Makina says that the line will be Turkey’s
biggest and most modern barrel type alcaline Zn/Ni coating. The bolts, screws and nuts will be coated 12-15% Ni, with min.8 micron coating
thickness and will give corrosion resistance performance according to ASTM B117 / DIN 50021 / ISO 9227 salt spray tests.
Investing in the future
Mayes & Warwick says that in these times of
uncertainty it may seem strange to hear about firms
investing in the future but that is precisely what
happening at the UK-based tooling manufacturer,
which has just taken delivery of a new CNC
cylindrical grinding machine.
The new equipment is capable of producing complex
thread forms as well as any profile that customers
require.
“Not only will this produce the crush rolls we use in
our own production but it adds to our already extensive
range the ability to supply plunge rolls to our
customers.”
A second area of investment by Mayes & Warwick is
its new Sage Production Control and Accounting System
capable of pinpointing, at any time, the position of any
order within its production. The new system allows
customers to receive up to date information of their
order, a vital element in the world of on time deliveries.
“We are continuing to move forward, even in these
difficult and uncertain times, because we aim to be
there when things get better, offering a leading service
in the tooling we manufacture.”
