Exhibition preview Southern Manufacturing 2013 New vibration shaker now in UK
TÜV SÜD Product Service is investing in a new large vibration shaker said to make it the UK’s leading environmental testing laboratory. For the first time, industry will have access to a testing ‘one-stop-shop’ with three large vibration shakers on a single site, backed up by complimentary environmental testing services, such as climatic, altitude and lightning testing. This service will be promoted at Southern Manufacturing 2013.
A lack of vibration shaker testing capacity, that is required for environmen- tal testing of components and assem- blies, has resulted in missed contractual milestones and financial penalties for many UK manufacturers. TÜV SÜD’s
Showcase of
tooling expertise Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) will be demonstrating its range of cutting tools to Southern Manufacturing visitors. On show will be the new range of Widia hole making and tapping prod- ucts. Additionally, ITC will highlight the benefits of its new 5021 Cyber Series of five flute harmonic end mills. The series has been developed to deliver high machining performance and productivity benefits when processing difficult materials.
Complementing the 5021 Series will be the new 6051 Cyber Series of End Mills. Like the 5021 Series, the 6051 is a long length, straight shank solid car- bide cutter with an unequal flute spac- ing and Cupro coating. Alongside these new cutters will be ITC’s new ball nosed cutters for machining intricate profiles, pockets and complex 5-axis compo- nents in extremely hard materials. For the machining of abrasive materi- als and composites, ITC will show its 2111 and 2151 XLS Cyber Series PCD two flute end mills designed for machin- ing graphite, metal matrix and other similarly abrasive materials. For profile machining, ITC will showcase the new 2102 (pic- tured) and 2132 Cyber Series of ball nosed PCD end mills. Subcontractors and general machine shop engineers will be interested in ITC’s new tapping, threading and hole making prod- ucts. Now boasting access to the UK's most comprehensive range of tapping products with a vast stock for immediate delivery, ITC's 36-page tapping catalogue has recently been released.

Enter 325 Innovations from polymer specialist
Polymer specialist, igus UK (Stand N24), will be showcasing its high performance triboplastic bearings, cables and energy chains at Southern Manufacturing 2013. Visitors will be able to see live demonstrations of its maintenance-free plain, spherical and linear bearings as well as its energy chains and chainflex continuous-flex cables, and meet industry experts to discuss the latest innovations. One of the main highlights at the igus stand is its range of drylin E actuators (left) with polymer bearings and NEMA certified motors. This linear drive is lubricant and mainte- nance-free, compact and light and quiet. drylin E SAW-0630 linear axis is suitable for simple adjustments, feed move- ments and the handling of lightweight components. It is available with a trapezoidal or high-helix thread leadscrew and offers numerous pitches from 1.5mm to 15mm. Also on display will be CFRIP (right), an intelligent solution to strip back long lengths of cable both quickly and easily. With just a few steps, the outer jacket of a CFRIP cable can be opened like a zipper to the desired length. Electrical engineers and panel fitters can save 50 per cent of the cable stripping time igus T: 01604 677240

ing providing higher standards of cleaning by full solution contact with all component surfaces, and a re-circulating heated spray rinse, which delivers superior surface finish by removing detergent residues left by the wash solution. The rinse stage can also be used to apply a longer term cor- rosion inhibitor for ferrous com- ponents and all wash cycles are finished off with a hot air dry. Weighing 1,500kg, the Duo offers a generous wash chamber, but its footprint is small enough to comfortably fit in a cell. MecWash (Stand T60) T: 01684 271600
