New press controls and updated sprue pickers.Enhanced machine controls and sprue sprue, chronic disorder of the small intestine caused by impaired absorption of fat and other nutrients. Two forms of the disease exist. Tropical sprue occurs in central and northern South America, Asia, Africa, and other specific locations. pickers are new from Engel Canada Inc., Guelph, Ont. First, Engel unveiled its next generation of injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. controls, which will become standard on all Engel machines this year. The new CC 200 system is the first to feature a touchscreen with graphic touch area and PC-type control elements. Users can adjust all machine settings three ways--by raising or lowering values with adjusting keys, inputting the values digitally, or by touching the graphic window display with a finger or pen. A new sequence editor allows an operator to program the most complex machine or robot sequences quickly and without any special programming knowledge. The molding cycle can be configured step-by-step by stringing together a number of predefined symbols. Operating sequences and parameters can be preset preset Cardiac pacing A parameter of a pacemaker that is programmed permanently when manufactured from an external PC prior to the production run. In addition, an operator can input e-mail addresses so that the control will automatically send an alert to a specific address when a particular malfunction mal·func·tion v. 1.

The control is tailored for a robot-equipped press and has one-third fewer components than the previous CC 100 control. The 32-MB compact flash disk memory can store up to 600 sets of mold data--20 times more than the diskette The official name for the floppy disk. See floppy disk. diskette - floppy disk used with the CC 100. Meanwhile, Engel upgraded its USP USP - unique sales point line of sprue pickers. This series for presses from 22 to 240 tons comes in two standard types--the USP 5 with 500-mm vertical stroke and 0.8-sec takeout Takeout A financing to refinance or take out another loan. speed, and the USP 7 with 700-mm stroke and 1.2-sec takeout. Both can carry a sprue or part weight of 300 g. Other features include 11 preprogrammed sequences that cover 80% to 90% of all applications, plus room to store 10 additional user-designed sequences programmed by a teach-in procedure. Coming in April is software to operate the picker from the press control panel. Interfaces are also available for non-Engel machines. Engel has new Do-It-Yourself toolkits for building robot grippers. The kits, suitable for most applications, contain all the necessary parts and modules, including quick-change systems. Engel also offers an Assembly Assistant to aid in building the gripper. The part to be demolded is clamped on one side of the Assistant, and then the robot gripper is built up step by step around the part on the other side. The Assistant also helps check the gripper functions. Tel: (519) 836-0220, www.engelmachinery.com [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
