PREVIEW SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS AUTOMOTIVE CABLE HARNESS MANUFACTURE
Convert is showcasing its capabilities and highlighting a recent doubling in output. The electrical engineering company has doubled its capacity with a new Komax fully automatic crimping machine, already delivering for two of the world’s leading sports car manufacturers. So impressed is the company with the
Komax Gamma 255’s small wire handling, it intends to buy one or two additional machines in the near future to supplement its Artos MTX-5 crimping machine which is currently used to process thicker wires. Convert specialises in the automotive,
public transport and scientific/medical sectors, manufacturing cable harnesses for car head and rear lights, passenger gates at railway stations and a range of scientific equipment. Top industry names among its customers include Wipac, Bibby Scientific, GKN Hybrid Power, Cubic Transportation and OEM Automatic and leading luxury and sports car makers. “This will be our tenth year and for us
GRIPPING AND CLAMPING TOOLS
it’s one of the UK’s most successful engineering and electronic shows,” says managing director Dave Lord. “It’s well organised and has always produced the goods in terms of great leads and networking opportunities so we’re hoping our new Komax machine will help generate more of the same this year.”

MEASURING AND TESTING TECHNOLOGY
Blum-Novotest will present new products alongside established technologies, in particular advancements to the Digilog and RG product lines that have captured the attention of manufacturers throughout 2016. Despite being a global leader in the component measuring and testing technology arena Blum will be keen to emphasise the benefits of the new TC63-RG and TC64- RG DIGILOG surface roughness gauges. This exciting new technology marks a
quantum leap in regard to roughness measurement for machine integrated quality control methods. The TC63-RG and TC64-RG gauges can evaluate the surface roughness of the part while it remains clamped in the machine tool. Supporting these products will be the latest RG 2.0 software that now allows parameters such as waviness, skew or contact area ratio to be presented for the measured surface in addition to the calculated roughness values. This system can now be integrated with the DIGILOG software in the control systems of machine tools. This now enables customer-specific signal analyses to be performed for route-based measurement. It allows form and surface defects to be logged as well as lengths and angles of the measured surface.

EXPANDED CAPABILITY IN AISI 316 STAINLESS STEEL SPRINGS They come in 2 sub-series Part 1 and Part 2 –
With over 1,800 new standard parts anticipated for the Lee Spring catalogue in 2017, a taster of the new ranges will include a new DIN-Plus series which match up in size with standard DIN2098 Part 2 and Part 1 series springs but with added corrosion resistance (passivation for stainless EN 10270-3- 1.4310-NS range and plating for spring steel EN 10270-1-SH range). This greatly expands the Lee Spring offering in DIN compression springs to meet increasing global demand for metric sizes with the added benefit of excellent corrosion resistance.
24 FEBRUARY 2017 | FACTORY EQUIPMENT
Part 1 includes standard to large compression springs from 3mm to 135mm dia. Part 2 are available from 0.6mm to 5.4mm dia. In addition there will be an expanded capability in
AISI 316 stainless steel including extension and torsion springs in standard ex-stock sizes, as well as for custom applications across all industrial situations from machinery to instruments.

SCHUNK will demonstrate the capabilities of its ROTA-S Plus chuck. With an optimised wedge bar drive system, jaw change time of less than 60 seconds and an improved lubricant system, this ensures a consistently high clamping force that exceeds the performance from alternate lathe chucks. Making higher rotational and cutting speeds possible, users can apply more efficient cutting strategies that shorten manufacturing time. The quick-change jaw system has an enhanced drive that allows fast, comfortable and repeat accurate jaw changes. SCHUNK offers the lathe chuck with a manually actuated expansion arbor that can be quickly retro-fitted. The innovative manual chuck is available in sizes 165, 200, 250 and 315mm. From the toolholding stable SCHUNK
will emphasise the benefits of its TENDO E compact hydraulic expansion toolholder. Capable of reducing set-up times by up to 80% while generating 2000Nm of torque, it delivers micron precision for machining applications. Even demanding applications with tight tolerances on the form, position and surface finish can be rapidly and reliably machined. The TENDO E compact demonstrates a tool life extension of 300% and tool changeovers in seconds.
