S T O C K TA K E KEEPING WITHIN THE LINES IMI Precision Engineering is releasing a new platform pneumatic actuator range, ISOLine. Built on reliable and robust IMI Norgren technology, ISOLine offers a ‘fit and forget’ system that simplifies installation, increases service life and reduces maintenance costs. Enhancing the movement of man’s most marvellous machines, the ISOLine range introduces the IMI Norgren Adaptive Cushioning System (ACS). ACS automatically adjusts the cylinder cushioning for changing loads, so manual cushion screw setting is not required. It also removes the need for specialist BIN-PICKING WITH EYEVISION 3D 42 June 2017 knowledge and simplifies the installation process, for safer, smoother operation. Conforming to ISO standard 15552, the product range is up to 20% lighter than previous pneumatic cylinders. ISOLine provides improved performance; it has a lower breakaway pressure and reduced minimum speed. Available in sizes 32-125mm, the streamlined design of ISOLine offers a modern look with a clean profile. For system designers, additional switch mounting gives greater design flexibility. www.mostmarvellousmachines.com CLEANCUT TECH BURN LONGER, CUT CLEANER Introducing American Torch Tip’s next generation of plasma cutting torch consumables. Stop wasting time grinding dross, reaming holes and make fewer changeouts and minimise production down-time. CleanCut’s high-velocity nozzle design reduces turbulence, stabilises and accelerates the plasma arc column. The design based on advanced rocket-engine technology produces a narrower, stable plasma arc. This creates ultra-smooth cuts with less back spatter, dross, unintended bevel and faster piercing times. A series of Tri-cooling fin grooves are machined around the nozzle base; these grooves allow coolant to flow across a greater surface area than competitor nozzles, carrying more heat away from the torch. Designed to work in synergy with CleanCut’s ultimate silver tipped electrodes that have 25% more silver for more efficient cooling and prolong life of all other consumables. Easy plug-and-play change-outs for Hypertherm, Kaliburn and ESAB CNC torches. Contact for a free trial.

With EyeVision 3D EVT offers a multifunctional software solution, which in the field of 3D can solve a broad spectrum of tasks such as bin-picking. The base is besides the supported 3D sensors of the EyeScan 3D series, the evaluation of the EyeVision 3D software using a depth image, which then can be used to operate a robot gripper. Additional information in the identification of the stack height or to recognise foreign material, which is often abdicated in normal image processing, is available with the EyeVision 3D software. EyeVision 3D is an option for various 3D applications, such as e.g. the inspection for defects, errors or damage of blister packages in the pharmaceutical industry or the volume measurement of e.g. luggage. With EyeVision 3D it is possible to integrate various different laser sensors and to extract the required information via the already known evaluation process. www.evt-web.com
