HOUSTEX 2017 PREVIEW
work tank, zero-electrode-wear capabilities, and arc-less ma- chining circuit will be exhibited. The OPM250L metal 3D printer, which is capable of both print- ing and milling metal compo- nents in a single powder-bed process, can produce highly
specialized designs, such as conformal cooling channels within molds or fi nished surfaces within enclosed structures. Sodick’s OPM250L is capable of quickly printing a variety of high-hardness tool steels with a 99.99% density. Sodick Inc.

Highly Accurate Multiaxis Calibrator XM-60 multiaxis calibrator is capable of measuring all six degrees of freedom for errors from a single setup. The XM-60 features patented optical roll measurement and remote fi ber optic launch system to reduce heat effects, offering signifi - cant improvement in simplicity and time saving over con- ventional laser measurement techniques. As demands on compo- nent toler- ances increase, manufacturers
are now required to consider all error sources from the ma- chines producing parts; angular errors as well as linear and straightness errors. Designed for the machine tool market, the XM-60 multiaxis calibrator complements Renishaw’s calibration product line that includes the XL-80 laser system, XR20-W rotary axis calibrator, and QC20-W wireless ballbar. The XM-60 uses the XC-80 environmental compensator to correct for environmental conditions. Performance of each XM-60 is traceable to international standards and every unit is certifi ed before shipment. Renishaw Inc. Ph: 847-286-9953 Web site:

CNC Vision Measurement System Quick Vision Active is an easy-to-operate, space-saving model with advanced functionality to meet many contact and noncontact measuring needs. Quick Vision Active offers
a wide fi eld of view with interchangeable objective zoom lenses to meet the challenges of measuring small to large features. The 8-step zoom lens can achieve a magnifi ca-
tion range of 0.5 to 7X while maintaining crisp image quality. Quick Vision Active is available with measuring ranges of 10 × 8 × 6" (250 × 200 × 150 mm) or 16 × 16 × 8" (400 × 400 × 200 mm) with or without the touch-probe measuring option. QVPAK software uses edge detection and pattern recog- nition to locate and orientate the coordinate system with minimal operator input, ensuring accuracy and repeatability of the measurement results.

Internal Coolant Cut-Off Toolholder EXSYS/Eppinger cut-off blade toolholders channel coolant internally from machine turrets to internal-coolant cut-off blades and precisely into the cut zone. Cut-off operations run cooler, surface fi nishes improve, and overall part-processing times are shorter. The toolholder helps eliminate the need for any secondary operations necessary for smoothing rough part surface fi nishes that result from high heat and friction. Chip evacu- ation is more effi cient, and running cooler allows speeds and feeds to be increased to reduce part cycle times.
Targeted shops include those working with materials such as titanium, 4140 treated steel, Inconel, and other tough-to- machine materials like those used in the aerospace industry. Holders are designed for use with Iscar and Sandvik Coro- mant through-coolant cut-off blades. EXSYS Tool Inc. Ph: 352-588-4345 Web site:
