Testing Machines Booth S12175
US company Testing Machines will launch its new Model 43-76 pendulum impact tester for Izod or Charpy impact testing in the range from 1 to 22 Joules. Features of the new unit include a 7-inch touchscreen control panel and simple-to-use software interface and PC connection to GraphMaster software for data storage and analysis. Both the Charpy and Izod hammers can be changed without the need for tools and both can be used without removing the Izod vice or Charpy rest. ❙

Wittmann Group Booth W2743 Wittmann will show its latest large gravimetric blender - the Gravimax G56 - designed for mixing of up to six different components. Offering a blending volume of up to 5kg, this new unit is said to provide the same control features, easy access and process reliability of the company’s smaller models.
Dosing is carried out by pneumatically operated, wear-resistant metering valves with cylinders located outside of the material flow, which prevents material from bridging and makes the cleaning process easier. The new unit also includes an RTLS (Real Time Live
Scale) weighing unit that determines how often and for how long every metering valve must be activated, allowing a metering accuracy of ±0.1% to be maintained. The SmartRegrind function automatically switches supply to prevent the processing machine coming to a standstill if there is a lack
of granulate. The company will also show
the new Feedmax S3 net convey- ing system, which includes a new feature allowing it to be con- nected to all equipment on the
same network. The company says this allows the user to combine the benefits of single conveying units with those of a centralised control system as several Feedmax S3 net conveyor units can be linked together and controlled from a single
console over a CAN-bus. ❙

Yushin America Booth W763 Robot maker Yushin America has taken a larger booth for this NPE and plans to be running more demonstrations than ever before. It is saying very little about the new concept robot it plans to launch at the show,
but it will be running several examples from its current RCII, HSA and YC lines. The key exhibit will be a production cell that will
mould, close, label and pack into cases medical marijuana vials. The cell incorporates a Toshiba EC250SX moulding machine with a Yushin RCII robot fitted with two vertical main arms that removes the parts and transfers them 40 at time to a closing station. After closing, a YC series robot picks up and presents the vials to a labeling station, after which they are cased in reusable totes that circulate in a dual level unstacking / restacking conveying system. The company will also show an HSA-150S
ultra-high speed robot mounted on a Sumitomo SE100EV moulding machine
producing packaging frames on a 16-cavity tool on a
4s cycle. The demoulding cycle is less than 0.5s. ❙
