YG1 has established itself as a world-class brand with exports to 53 countries, and manufacturing partners in the USA, Ireland, and South Korea. Its tools are made with the highest quality materials and machinery, guaranteeing optimal performance. Longer tool life and greater productivity are two of the reasons why Machinists prefer YG1. Under the same conditions as competitor tooling, YG1 tools maintain their cutting edges, rigidity, and accuracy longer. Iscar Plus has proven this in its workshop, and can provide performance reports on request. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE Medical products have to undergo a number of quality and safety inspections and often require marking and identification. EyeVision image processing software is used to inspect laser markings on medical products. A camera inspection system, consisting of an EyeCheck smart camera including the EyeVision software, can be integrated permanently into the laser marker head, for ensuring an accompanying image capture for verifying and validation of the quality. The EyeVision software checks if the marking is flawless and therefore if a constant quality is reached. The EyeVision software also not only checks the contents of the code but also if they are readable, contrast, tamper-proof, hygienic and more. www.evt-web.com ON THE BALL WITH NSK NkS has announced that it has added a new right/left hand ball screw series to its ToughCarrier Single-Axis Actuator lineup for applications in automobile, semiconductor and LCD manufacturing equipment. NSK’s ToughCarrier, designed for automobile, semiconductor and LCD manufacturing equipment, has been well received in the market for its high load bearing performance, which is made possible by employing a roller as the rolling element of the guide. In recent years, the trend toward smart factories for automobile manufacturing equipment, etc, leading to the realisation of “Industry 4.0” has increased, resulting in a demand for electrification for power savings and smarter equipment. In response to these needs, NSK has added a right/left hand screw series to its ToughCarrier lineup. These new products have the right hand and left hand screws integrated onto the same axis, making it possible to operating clamping motion with a single motor. Also, thanks to the key feature of ToughCarrier, a high-load, high-rigidity guide, it is now possible to electrically power the large-part conveyance and chuck mechanisms used in automobile manufacturing equipment. www.nz.nsk.com Iscar Plus Phone 0800 808 477 sales@iscar.co.nz http://tinyurl.com/hghraws
