Meeting the growing demand from industries where high quality mirrored surfaces are essential.

Walter Surface Technologies, the global industry leader in surface treatment technologies, announces new innovations to its portfolio of stainless steel polishing products. The Instant Polish Line will be available in three distinct formats: pre-applied on the Quick Step Instant Polish Disc and the Instant Polis Belt, and will also be available in a stand-alone paste.

Proprietary to Walter Surface Technologies, the Instant Polish Line is the most innovative one-step solution to achieving a perfect #8 mirror finish. Jonathan Douville, Product Manager at Walter Surface Technologies explains that stainless steel finishing and polishing is often unforgiving, and is one of the most time-consuming and difficult applications in the fabrication process.

These new instant polish products combine the strength of Walter’s white and blue polishing pastes into an easy, one-step solution. Users can save a great amount of time, as the products eliminate three to four steps in the polishing process, including the need to clean in between polishing steps, and reducesthe frequency of consumable changeover.

The new polishing line was designed for industries where high quality mirrored finishes are required including, pharmaceutical, food and beverage as well as construction and design.  “There was a need in these market segments for an improved process” explains Douville. “Walter was able to incorporate decades of knowledge and expertise into developing a line of polishing products that reduces labor time, operational cost, and ultimately increased profits while delivering exceptional results”.

The Instant Polish Line will be available as of January 2016.

EXAIR’s new Model 9204 1 NPT Swivel Fitting makes it easy to precisely adjust the position of our award-winning air nozzles. With this 303 Stainless Steel swivel, EXAIR’s powerful, efficient and quiet Super Air Nozzles can be pointed exactly where you need work to be done.

A 50 degree total angle of adjustment provides the movement necessary for your nozzles to be in the best position for maximum effectiveness.

The 1 MNPT x 1 FNPT swivel will work with any 1 NPT nozzle or fitting regardless if they have a male or female thread.

EXAIR’s swivel fitting with Super Air Nozzle delivers a precision, highly focused and forceful blowoff for applications in tight spaces or requiring precision positioning for achieving desired results. The new 1 NPT swivels can be used with 316SS and zinc-aluminum alloy Super Air Nozzles. EXAIR nozzles from the smallest M4 x 0.5 to the 1 NPT have been engineered to maximize entrainment of room air while minimizing compressed air consumption and all have EXAIR swivels available. Safe operation is assured by meeting OSHA’s standard 1910.242(b) for pressure and OSHA’s noise exposure standard 29 CFR – 1910.95(a). EXAIR’s nozzles are also CE compliant.

Swivels can help make your nozzles more effective when replacing existing wasteful nozzles or open tubes and are ideal for blowoff, cooling and drying applications. Price is $225.00.

In a move to reflect its growing expertise and solutions for integrated industrial manufacturing, global industry leader Hexagon Metrology has rebranded to become Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. The change also aligns the business more closely with Hexagon’s overall strategy to offer software-centric information technology solutions that improve quality and productivity across entire industry workflows.

As a leading measurement equipment provider, Hexagon Metrology set out to offer complete quality assurance solutions, building an extensive portfolio of metrology equipment through a combination of innovation and acquisition. The company’s investment in research and development has yielded technology revolutions that first moved measurement from the quality room to the point of production and then brought metrology data into the wider factory workflow. Recent acquisitions, including the CAD/CAM specialist Vero Software and statistical process control expert Q-DAS, have further expanded the business’ offering into broader manufacturing technologies – prompting the decision to rebrand as Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.

“The approach of our business is to listen to customers and evolve to meet their needs, and our rebrand is the next stage of this evolution,” explains Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence President and CEO, Norbert Hanke. “Manufacturers need to work with speed and confidence, which is why they prefer integrated systems and single-supplier solutions that give them the process efficiency they need to compete and lead their industries.

“As Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, we are ideally positioned to support these aspirations. We have moved beyond the isolated data capture of traditional metrology, enabling customers to analyse and leverage data for more informed decision making – sensing, thinking and acting, as we call it. We intend to focus our research on connecting these capabilities to offer customers a closed-loop manufacturing approach where quality drives productivity, as well as continuing to develop our core competencies in dimensional metrology.

About Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence:
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence helps industrial manufacturers develop the disruptive technologies of today and the life-changing products of tomorrow. As a leading metrology and manufacturing solution specialist, our expertise in sensing, thinking and acting – the collection, analysis and active use of measurement data – gives our customers the confidence to increase production speed and accelerate productivity while enhancing product quality.

Through a network of local service centres, production facilities and commercial operations across five continents, we are shaping smart change in manufacturing to build a world where quality drives productivity.

Mazak Corporation asserted its leadership in manufacturing technology at its recent DISCOVER 2015 event where attendees flocked to see the company’s new SmartBox technology along with over 30 of the industry’s most advanced machine tools. The technology and education event held Oct. 27-29 and Nov. 3-5 at the company’s North American Manufacturing Headquarters in Florence, Ky., welcomed attendees from manufacturing companies across North America.

Mazak’s SmartBox is described as the industry’s first – “launch platform for easy and highly secure entrance into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).” With MTConnect technology at its foundation, the open-protocol SmartBox facilitates connectivity of machines and devices, while allowing for enhanced monitoring and analytical capabilities. SmartBox also introduces advanced cyber security protection resulting from a key partnership between Mazak and Cisco Systems Inc. for the development of the SmartBox.

On the analytics side, the SmartBox – because it is a completely open standard – works in conjunction with all the popular third-party analytical software platforms. Within its own manufacturing operations, Mazak’s platform is Merlin from MEMEX Inc., but the company welcomes customers to use their individually preferred software packages such as those of System Insights Inc., TechSolve Inc., Forcam Inc. or 5ME, LLC.

Such openness gives the SmartBox adaptability and flexibility in terms of a user’s application, existing facility software and operational needs. The strategy of non-exclusivity with any one software platform allows users the freedom to choose any software based on performance levels and capabilities and select the package that best fits their needs and fulfills their particular analytical expectations.

“The SmartBox technology represents a huge leap in digital integration across manufacturing, and the access to real-time manufacturing data it provides is critical for the improvement of overall productivity efficiency and a manufacturer’s responsiveness to customer and market changes,” said Brian Papke, president of Mazak Corporation.

During DISCOVER 2015, Mazak showcased the power of SmartBox in one of the automated cells that are part of the company’s own manufacturing operations. This offered attendees a firsthand look at the device in action within an actual manufacturing environment and facility network.
