MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY Vibrationmaster shows off in Vegas
At the recent National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo in Las Vegas, USA, Vibrationmaster displayed two J100 portable Junker Test bench demonstrators, which ran vibration tests on a range of manufacturer’s fasteners to determine their self-loosening behaviour.
M
orten Schiff, CEO at Vibrationmaster, explained: “Until now fastener manufacturers have been limited in their ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of their fastener securing elements. With the J100 portable Junker Test bench fastener manufacturers can actually demonstrate the resistance to self-loosening behaviour of their bolted joints using wedge washers, lock nuts and other securing elements, live and in front of their clients.” Morten Schiff points out that the Vibrationmaster J100 Junker Test Bench demonstrator can test fasteners in ISO
metric M5 to M12 and UTS sizes #10 to ½ inch to DIN 65151, with fastener changes taking as little sixty seconds. An added advantage is the unit’s portability: at 25kg (56lb) it is easily transportable and runs off a standard mains electrical supply. The test rig chassis is made from high-strength aluminium with optional leather-bound handles and covers that can
be custom-built, incorporating company logos, and are available in carbon fibre. The J100 has a handheld tablet with pre-installed software that can be used to demonstrate the test results and loosening curves of fasteners in real time. “The overall impact of the J100 demonstrator, with its high-end display options and superb performance, is dramatic
and crowd drawing,” continues Schiff. “And when connected to a digital projector, the hand-held tablet with its unique ‘VM Test’ software displays the test results live and in real time.” Schiff concludes: “Fastener manufacturers using the J100 to demonstrate their product performance in front of live audiences when at trade shows and in client presentations will clearly differentiate themselves from their competitors.”
New Ching Chan
inspection system Ching Chan Optical Technology Co Ltd, a manufacturer of sorting machines for fasteners - who recently celebrated its 20th
T o anniversary, has launched new technologies and an improved design for its Wheel Crack Inspection System.
he CCM Wheel Crack (also known as head open cracks) Inspection System has been patented in Germany, China and Taiwan, and is capable of inspecting screw head open cracks caused by wiring process or during the molding process. Ching Chan says that these types of cracks are unable to be 100% detected by common top-view or side-view CCD. Ching Chan explains that by applying the patented Wheel Crack Inspection System, indications or cracks at head
side or flange rim will be reflected on the cone mirror, and identified to be non-conformity by software. Also defects on zinc plating surfaces can be detected on this CCM system. Ching Chan is headquartered in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, with sister companies and factories in Taoyuan, Taiwan, as well
as Donguan, Wenzhou and Ningbo in China. CCM recently invested in 9,900 square metres close to its current headquarters in Kaohsiung city, where it is building a modern factory that will be finished by the end of 2013. Ching Chan states that this brand new factory will enable it to triple production capacity.

omniTECHNIK Mikroverkapselungs GmbH says that chemical thread-locking and sealing has become one of the basic essential methods in component assembly technology, with microencapsulated adhesives – such as precote - increasingly replacing outdated and expensive mechanical thread-locking devices or bottled anaerobic adhesives.
4.D31
mniTECHNIK points out that there are many advantages in using microencapsulated precote such as maximum safe locking from -50°C up to 200°C; reliable sealing for extremely high pressure; constant torque and preload values due to low friction; as well as controlled assembly and disassembly even after usage at 850°C and therefore a high process-control. precote products can also save money by standardising vital assembly characteristics. Pre-coated parts can be stored
before use for up to four years. “precote thread coating is available through our worldwide network of highly qualified and certified coating partners.
omniTECHNIK in Munich, Germany, is well known to give a competent and fast technical support to all customers regarding application questions.”
