gan, demonstrated its R-FL-Duplex Plus. Fully automated with robotics, the R- FL-Duplex Plus’s design eliminates one of the three stages of a traditional casting impregnation process. T e new two-stage impregnation process has a modular design, and with the addition of multiple hot cure modules, it can process up to 45 components an hour.


Cleaning Wheelabrator, LaGrange,


Georgia, highlighted its SpinTrac machine. The line is designed for metalcasting facilities, forge and heat treat requirements. Typical uses are the removal of sand, scale, rust and other contaminants. It also showed off its Barrel machine and Comet HD wheel. The Comet has an inte- grated abrasive feed hose interface.


Grinding Tools Suhner Industrial Products Corp.,


Rome, Georgia, presented its new line of cordless grinders, including


Other Valves Up to 6 Million Cycles


Unlike other valves that seal with friction, Posi-flate’s unique butterfly valve uses an inflatable seat to seal with air pressure. Thus it requires less torque and a smaller actuator, resulting in lower cost. Plus, the seat automatically compensates for wear, providing longer life. Some users have reported over 6 million cycles and the valves are still going strong.

the straight grinder ASC 9, the belt grinder ABC 7, the fi llet weld grinder AKC 3 and the tube polisher AKC 3. Each tool has a powerful, latest genera- tion electric motor and effi cient 18V battery technology. T e four tools are available as a set.


Hot Isostatic Pressing T e booth from Quintus Technolo-


gies, Lewis Center, Ohio, showcased its modular HIP Systems—fully modular hot isostatic plants that reduce installa- tion and commissioning time because they are delivered as a number of complete, pre-fabricated and fully tested modules. Items such as platforms, stairs, enclosures, load stations, ventilation equipment and oxygen sensors, among others, are integrated into the modules.


Cleaning Blast Cleaning Technologies, New


Berlin, Wisconsin, highlighted its TwistLok eWheel for shot blasting. T e patent pending wheel design


includes several breakthroughs in shot blasting technology. All components are investment cast in a super-alloy tool steel to add extra life. It uses preci- sion components, strong alloys and a threadless locking design for a wear life approaching 2-3 times that of tradi- tional blast parts.


Manipulators Henschel, Kassel, Germany, dis-


played its new Andromat AMX 70 manipulator with its optimized drive up to 6,000 RPM, automatic feed rate for cutting operations, and a quick exchange system for diff erent tools. It features a high-capacity air condition- ing, a mechanical separation of the cabin by rubber-metal swing elements, and optimal sight due to oversized windows.
