Robotic Manipulation Vulcan Engineering Co., Birming-


ham, Alabama, demonstrated its Vul- can Tactile System at CastExpo. Te system uses a hands-on robot manipu- lator along with a specialized hand- control system to allow the operator to manually control the movements for performing cleaning and grinding tasks on large parts.


Metals Analyzer Elementar Americas Inc., Mt.


Laurel, New Jersey, featured the new inductor EL cube, a five-element ana- lyzer for metals, at its booth at Cast- Expo. Te unit analyzes carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen and features a unique detection technology for precise hydrogen determination. Te EL cube can be operated manu-


ally or be set up fully automated with an up-to-90-position autosampler. The ARL easySpark analyzer


unveiled by Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, is a new benchtop optical emission spectrom- etry instrument designed for small to medium-sized metal manufac- turers, such as metalcasting facili- ties. The easySpark can be used to improve production and efficiency quickly after delivery and setup and provides the ability to analyze any solid metal sample from trace to percentage level.


Borescopes Gradient Lens Corp., Rochester,


New York, shared with attendees its new Hawkeye V2 video borescopes, its next generation of portable articulat-


ing videoscopes for vision inspection. Te new borescopes have a 5-in. LCD monitor with controls to provide photo and video capture. Te V2s have a four-way articulation range that gives a smooth, tactile feel, and they are small and lightweight, weighing under 3 lbs.


Casting Simulation ESI Group, Farmington Hills,


Michigan, displayed ProCast, its casting simulation suite. A product of over 25 years of collaboration, it enables predictive evaluations of the entire casting process. That includes filling and solidification defects, mechanical properties and complex part distortion. Flow Science, Santa Fe, New Mexico, showcased its Flow-3D
