May 25, 2011 – Bodine Electric published its latest standard product catalog. A downloadable version is available online. New Products New additions to the Bodine product line featured in this catalog include two all-new gearmotors; dual voltage variable speed AC products; and new brushless DC 34B/FV INTEGRAmotors. The all-steel gearing of the WX gearmotor produces up to 65% more torque than previous models
May 25, 2011 – The TEN 40N series is a family of high performance 40 Watt DC/DC converter modules featuring ultra wide 4:1 and 2:1 input voltage ranges in a 1″ x 2″ x 0.4″ package with industry standard footprint. Input voltages up to 75 VDC, excellent EMC characteristics and EN 50155 approval make this product the best choice for many demanding applications in railroad and transportation systems. Further standard features include Remote On/Off, over voltage protection, under voltage lockout and short circuit protection
May 25, 2011 -Emerson introduces integrated Pump Health Monitoring system that enables users to detect and predict problems – greatly reducing the risk of unexpected pump failures that can cause lost production and expensive repairs, as well as safety and environmental incidents. Emerson’s scalable Pump Health Monitoring solution can detect several conditions, including Cavitation Excessive temperature Vibration Process leakage Seal pot level Differential pressure imbalance. These conditions can independently and jointly bring about pump damage, failure, and several otherwise avoidable consequences
Video shows the performance of coated carbide, diamond-coated, PCD and veined PCD tools in carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
A vacuum system for the machining center draws particulate through the center of the tool.
These shops saved themselves from dependence on the declining automotive sector thanks in part to their commitment to large-scale machining capacity.
The combined up-cut and down-cut spiral flutes on these cutters compress layered composites to prevent delamination during machining.

Click Image to Enlarge The introduction of positive wiper geometries reduces cutting forces and vibration, bringing the benefits of the technology to a broader range of applications. Manufacturers with extremely rigid setups can now use negative wiper geometries to shift crater wear and maximize insert life. This chart shows performance comparison between standard geometry inserts and wiper inserts.
