Sahara Hot Box Drum/Tote Oven from Benko Products is Suitable for Class I, Div I Areas
Benko Products, Inc., a leading innovator in industrial ovens, announces that its line of Sahara drum/tote ovens is suitable for use in Class I, Div I areas.
Many companies are facing the problem of how to safely heat flammable materials. It is critical that operators take the proper steps to ensure the material being heated never reaches the autoignition temperature. Autoignition temperature of a material is the lowest temperature at which it can spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or a spark. Sahara Hot Boxes provide the solution with precise temperature control and temperature uniformity, making it suitable for use in Class I, Div I areas. The Sahara Hot Box pictured electrically heats 8 drums on pallets or 2 totes. Steam, hot oil or hot water can also be used as the heating medium.
The heating capability of each Hot Box is designed based on the customers’ needs. With over 30 years of drum warming experience, Benko Products can accurately calculate and predict heat up times. The Model E8 is ideal for quickly and safely heating hard-to-melt materials.
The Sahara Hot Box Model E8 is fully insulated and features rugged steel construction, built-in spill containment and is portable; just pick up with a forklift. This oven is shipped completely assembled and tested for easy installation. It is designed to include digital temperature control and independent over-temperature control as well as an air circulation blower for temperature uniformity and fast heat-up of drums or totes.
Drum/tote warming ovens have become a popular choice in the industry as they offer the energy efficiency, fast and reliable heat up times and safety that other heating methods such as band heaters or large in-plant hot rooms cannot.
About Benko Products, Inc.:
Benko Products, Inc. is a privately held company based out of Sheffield Village, OH. Benko Products was founded in 1983 by pioneer John Benko, the inventor of the Sahara Hot Box® drum warming oven. Benko’s leading product lines also include industrial batch ovens; G-RAFF safety platforms; mezzanine safety gates and chemical storage systems. Benko is also the parent company to GREEN Access & Fall Protection, a leading manufacturer of gangways for tank trucks and rail cars as well as self-leveling stair applications.

Mazak Demonstrations Run the Gamut in Innovation at CMTS 2015
At CMTS 2015, Mazak Canada will spotlight advanced and affordable machine tool innovations suitable for shops of all sizes and manufacturing requirements. Attendees to booth 2560 can expect to see a variety of part-cutting demonstrations that reflect the company’s latest developments in Multi-Tasking, 5-axis, milling, turning and CNC technologies.
Among the most advanced Mazak machines on display at CMTS 2015 will include the VARIAXIS i-800, VARIAXIS i-600 and INTEGREX i-400ST. These popular 5-axis and Multi-Tasking models now incorporate the new SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY process-performance platform that has transformed the way Mazak multi-axis machines perform.
According to Mazak, revolutionary CNC technology, progressive machine design and unequaled engineering resources set the foundation for the platform and, together, provide users with unsurpassed ease of operation and unmatched productivity. In fact, every function of the new MAZATROL SmoothX CNC is a direct response to real-world issues, resulting in the industry’s fastest, most progressive machine tool control.
CMTS 2015 attendees will have the opportunity to watch the highly versatile VARIAXIS i-600 use its high-speed, full 5-axis capabilities to process a titanium-based guitar body in a single setup. Those interested in highly productive external gear and spline production will want to check out the INTEGREX i-400ST Multi-Tasking machine demonstrations that incorporate Sandvik Coromant’s InvoMilling process.
In terms of affordable innovation, Mazak will showcase machines from its UNIVERSAL Series family that redefines the quality and productivity standards of value-based CNC milling and turning machines. And, through this series, which encompasses countless machine configurations, the company sought to make it easy for manufacturers to find the perfect technology balance for their needs at the lowest possible operating costs.
CMTS attendees can expect to see the new QUICK TURN UNIVERSAL (QTU) 350M turning center with Multi-Tasking capabilities. Among the machine’s most impressive attributes is a special servo-driven turret design that offers multiple tool configurations. The turret uses a roller gear cam drive system to achieve smooth, high-accuracy indexing motion as well as eliminate the need for expensive curvic/index couplings.
Other UNIVERSAL models on display at CMTS will include the VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL (VCU) 500A 5X and VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL (VCU) 500C machining centers. The 5-axis VCU 500 5X will process bicycle helmets during the show to demonstrate its complex parts processing capabilities, while the 3-axis VCU 500C performs job shop-themed demonstrations involving steel workpiece materials.

What to Expect from Mahr Federal at WESTEC 2015
Mahr Federal To Feature New MarShaft™ SCOPE 250 plus and MarVision QM 300 Video One-Shot Measuring Microscope With Image Processing At WESTEC 2015
Mahr Federal will feature the MarShaft™ SCOPE 250 plus, a new addition to their growing family of optical shaft measurement systems, and the MarVision QM 300 video measuring microscope with image processing capability, at WESTEC, September 15-17, 2015, Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA, Booth #1835.
Competitively priced and designed to provide fast, accurate, fully automatic measurement of smaller shafts and turned parts directly on the shop floor, the MarShaft SCOPE 250 plus features a highly accurate matrix camera with four million pixels. The system measures parts up to 250 mm in length and 40 mm in diameter with an accuracy that is previously unknown in this market segment. An MPE (Maximum Permissible Error) of less than 1.5 microns + L/40 when measuring diameter and an even more impressive 3 microns + L/125 when measuring length is significantly more accurate than other systems using line cameras.
The MarVision QM 300, a new video measuring microscope with image processing capability is designed for the measurement and/or dimensioning of geometric elements. With automatic image processing, part features can be stored and once the part is in place the QM300 will automatically recognize the part and make all the programmed measurements with no operator involvement. The MarVision QM 300 incorporates an integrated CCD color camera with a 23″ touchscreen PC with keyboard and mouse, and easy-to-use Windows based M3 software. Automatic edge detection allows even low contrast features to be measured, and a multi-touch function provides quick and continuous measurements using either touchscreen or the mouse. The QM 300 is a full-featured measuring station designed for fast, close to the grinding machine evaluation of cutting inserts or flat components such as punch and stamped parts.
Also on display at Booth #1835 will be:
• Mahr Federal’s Millimar C1200, a new low-cost easy-to-view and easy-to-use Digital Amplifier. Incorporated in the C1200 is a new high resolution, high color contrast display that provides clear and very responsive analog readings with selectable scales. Users can view the analog scale, numeric digital readings, or both. Display range is ±5000 µm and reading resolution 0.1 µm. The display may be adjusted to the ideal viewing angle (0º to 90º) and the C1200 unit can also be wall-mounted.
• The new Pocket Surf® IV, an updated version of Mahr Federal’s highly popular Pocket Surf portable surface finish gage. Pocket Surf portable surface finish gages have enjoyed wide popularity for more than 30 years and across many precision applications because of their exceptional utility and simple one-button operation. The new Pocket Surf IV builds on that reputation with updated electronics and additional features to keep the product current for years to come.
In addition, the following Mahr Federal products will be on display:
MaraMeter mechanical comparative gages; wireless MarCal calipers with Marcom Software; Dimensionair air gaging; and selections from Mahr Federal’s broad line of surface measuring instruments, including both portable roughness measurement devices and computer based stationary surface measuring systems. In addition to the new PocketSurf® IV, there will be the MarSurf® PS1 and a growing line of Application Specific surface measuring fixtures.
Mahr’s stationary system line includes the MarSurf XR 1, which combines mobile surface metrology with the advantages of MarWin evaluation software; and the XCR 20 MarWin, a new generation of combined roughness and contour measurement systems.
