S T O C K TA K E SIX OF THE BEST: HAMILTON COMPANY GETS LATEST MITSUBISHI LASER Hamilton-based Stainless Design Ltd has a new Mitsubishi EX series 6kw laser and auto sheet loading LUL system; the sixth unit to be installed in New Zealand. According to the company, the 6kw Mitsubishi was selected for its impressive results when cutting thick steel and stainless steel. The EX series lasers have been big sellers in Japan and USA due to their reliability, low operation costs, and high cut quality. The simplified crossflow resonator design that gives stable, high power output while being economic to run is the key to Mitsubishi laser success in the competitive laser cutting industry. Alma Actcut Nesting and cut pathing software was chosen to ensure efficient processing of sheet and plate. VESCONITE THROTTLE BUSHINGS EXTEND PUMP SEAL LIFE reducing flush water requirements. “Where you have a slurry or fluid particles, it is important to keep this away from the seal,” says Daniel Hechter, head of servicing at FITT Resources. “We recommend Vesconite throttle bushings, and have found that pumps perform as expected and that seal life is extended with reduction in flush water requirement.” He says that, as the supplier for various OEM seal brands and pump repairer, client companies trust this recommendation, and use the bushings as part of a good proven pump repair package. An Australian company that supplies a comprehensive selection of mechanical seals as well as engineered sealing solutions to various Australian industries has found that a Vesconite throttle bushing can extend the life of seals. A typical single-stage pump includes a throttle bushing that is located below the sealing mechanism. The throttle bushing supports the shaft, as well as being a close clearance bushing and creating a stuffing box cavity with increased pressure differential Vesconite Bearings Phone Charlie Simpson: +27 11 616 1111 www.vesconite.com FITT Resources Phone Daniel Hechter: 0430 454 289 www.fittresources.com.au Revolution Precision Machinery Auckland 09 265 0380 Christchurch 03 960 0892 www.rpmcnc.co.nz | sales@rpmcnc.co.nz EFFICIENT WELDING WITH FRONIUS TRANSSTEEL 2200 The TransSteel 2200 is suitable for use in various manual applications and industries - it is primarily suited to steel construction for use in workshops, as well as for assembly, repair and maintenance work. Its low weight of just 15.5 kilograms makes it ideal for mobile use, and the TransSteel 2200 also impresses with its robust housing. One huge benefit of the MIG/MAG inverter power source is the variety of characteristics available, including for aluminium and copper silicon alloys. The TransSteel also features a second gas solenoid valve that makes it easy to switch from MIG/MAG to TIG. Users will also benefit from the ease of use: operation of the TransSteel 2200 is quick and intuitive. Perfect weld seams can be created in just three steps. The power source also offers a feature that, based on the selected mains fuse protection, sustains the welding operation for as long as possible by automatically steplessly adjusting the welding current, without changing the welding result. The automated power factor correction (PFC) extends the current consumption over time and ensures that the available power is efficiently used. The devices thus have a large action radius, as the PFC technology allows long mains leads to be used, enabling welders to employ them with greater flexibility. www.fronius.com 6 December 2017
