New rotary tables from Kitagawa at Mach
2000
Products to be displayed for the first time at MACH 2000 will include the latest additions to Kitagawa's rotary table and chucking package ranges
A series of innovative workholding and shopfloor technology products will be launched by Kitagawa Europe on Stand 5437, in Hall 5 at the forthcoming International Machine Tool Exhibition MACH 2000, to be held at the NEC between 10-14th April Products to be displayed for the first time at MACH will include the latest additions to Kitagawa's rotary table and chucking package ranges, as well as examples of new IEMCA bar feeders, Absolent oil mist filtration systems and Darex drill sharpeners
To meet customer demand, Kitagawa has extended its range of high accuracy, RS rotary tables to include 100 mm, 200 mm and 250 mm diameter models.
All RS models now offer a higher machining torque, increased clamping force and an RS232 port to provide a seamless interface with the customers' existing machine controller.
The new RS100, RS200 and RS250 units can also be supplied with either Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa and Okuma motors for use with 'fourth axis prepared' vertical machining centres.
MACH 2000 will also mark the first showing of Kitagawa's new range of industry-standard chucking packages.
The latest B300 range features high clamping forces and minimal jaw lift, thanks to revised clamping geometry.
In addition, its high accuracy and low inertia design are complemented by the new SS series of compact actuation cylinders, which enable high speed operation up to 8000 rev/min.
Kitagawa will be featuring IEMCA magazine barfeeders - with several models from the new, improved IEMCA range being introduced during year 2000.
Genius 112 and 226 models, with the space saving 'double pusher' system offers bar capacities from 1-12 mm and 2-26 mm diameter respectively.
The Master 880, with 8-80 mm diameter capacity, is offered with multi-rack or bundle bar magazines for high volume applications.
Both Genius and Master models are available in 'reversed versions' and are suitable for use with fixed headstock, sliding headstock and moving headstock lathes - allowing optimum machine performance to be achieved.
The latest addition to the Darex range of drill sharpeners, the V291, is ideally suited to general machining and fabrication shop use.
It is both fast and easy to use, and will sharpen drills from 3-19mm diameter in standard or split point form, with a range of drill point angles from 118-140o.
Incorporating super-abrasive grinding wheels that never require dressing and a compact, fully enclosed design which minimises the escape of dust and grit, the new V291 represents a convenient and affordable method of ensuring sharp drill bits on demand.
New to the UK is the Absolent range of oil mist filtration systems, now available from Kitagawa.
Capable of achieving at least 99.97 per cent separation, the Absolent range consistently outperforms industry-standard centrifugal and ionised element filter units.
In standard form, they will remove sub-viral sized particles, as well as eliminate carcinogenic contaminants in the range 0.1-0.5 microns.
In addition, they incorporate easy-to-clean washable pre-filters and can be operated continuously over long periods without servicing. Request a free brochure from Kitagawa Europe ...
