Shopfloor inspections measure up


The new Xtreme CNC CMM from Aberlink, boasts a non-Cartesian structure and uses linear motors and mechanical bearings. It offers a robust solution for undertaking precise inspection routines on the shop-floor. The cost-effective configuration ensures that it maintains its accuracy at very fast measurement rates, says the company, without suffering from the accumulative inaccuracies that occur in conventional three- axis Cartesian arrangements. To illustrate its high-speed,


high-accuracy capabilities when used for both contact and non-contact applications, the Axiom Too CNC CMM will be performing inspection routines using both Renishaw’s RTP20 touch probe and Aberlink’s own camera system. Despite the former’s generous measuring volume, the design occupies a relatively small footprint, with controller and all peripherals housed within its workbench.

Business model trains first on software


The traditional approach of paying for software, consultancy, training and maintenance before you’ve even confirmed that the product will be suitable for your business is rejected by 123 Insight. Prospective users attend an


evaluation workshop, held around the UK each month. If they feel the system could be a good fit, they attend the six-day, no-obligation training course. Once they are fully trained and ready to implement the software, they pay for the training and register to receive the software. After that, a low monthly subscription, with no minimum period, is payable.


Visitors will be able to see the latest


MRP software advancements and have one-to-one discussions with technical staff to understand what an MRP system can do for a business. A multimedia USB stick, filled with


demonstration videos broken down by job role, is available.

Hygienic standard series prevent dirt ingress


A series of hygienic standard elements that meet EHEDG requirements and the 3-A Sanitary Standard will be highlighted by Berger Tools. The range is optimised for minimal contamination, using stainless steel with ground or polished surfaces. Smooth surfaces of below Ra


0.8μm ensure dirt particles cannot adhere and are reliably removed during cleaning, says the company. Another key feature is an


avoidance of dead space. There are no interior areas where substances can accumulate. Hygienically safe


FDA-compliant elastomer seals sit flush with the surface preventing dirt ingress.

Discover a sustainable nitrogen supply


A diverse range of manufacturing and engineering companies rely on nitrogen gas to keep their processes clean and dry. Alongside a range of compressors and vacuum pumps, compressed air specialists BCAS, will demonstrate the benefits of creating nitrogen in-house. Nitrogen generators can allow


users to produce a reliable and secure source of nitrogen from an existing compressed air supply. Nitrogen gas is produced at low pressure, eliminating hazards


usually associated with high pressure cylinder gas. Potential manual handling concerns are also removed. Taking control of a nitrogen


supply, rather than relying on a third party, can reduce costs considerably, says the company. As well as supply and installation, the company can fulfil maintenance and servicing needs.
