Spring In to Action

The Elscint Spring Disentangler feeds out the Springs through tubes to the point of use with an output of up to 200 springs per minute.

Small pressure springs are a tiny but vital part in numerousmodern products. In fact, one of the most time consumingtechniques is the handling of small components such as springs.Not only are they usually supplied in a tangled mass, from whichthey need to be freed, but they are also difficult to pick up andfix into position. It is very important that the feeding andlocation of the springs is extremely accurate during assembly.Elscint manufactures the Elscint Spring Disentangler fordisentangling of various types of Springs.

This finds usage inall industries where springs are used.

The Elscint SpringDisentangler feeds out the Springs through tubes to the point ofuse.

Various types of Springs can be used in the same Unit withslight change over tooling.

Capacity and separation rate dependson the shape and size of the springs.

An output of up to 200springs per minute can be achieved through each feeder tube!Elscint also offers other accessories like Hand Pick Off,Escapement etc to go with this equipment.

Tooled bowls for vibratory bowl makers

Elscint Automation, the leading Vibratory Bowl Feeder manufacturer from India has now started supplying completely tooled Bowls to various Vibratory Bowl Feeder manufacturers in Europe.

Elscint Automation, the leading Vibratory bowl feeder manufacturer from India has now started supplying completely tooled Bowls to various Vibratory Bowl Feeder manufacturers in Europe. Labour costs being less in India, Elscint can make these tooled bowls available at a very competitive cost. Elscint provides the complete bowl tooling.

The Bowl Feeder manufacturer can then just take some trials and tune the Vibratory Drive and ship the complete tooled Vibratory Bowl Feeder to their customer.

Usually, tt takes between 30 to 100 hours to tool a Bowl depending upon the intricacy of the component which is being fed.

By outsourcing the tooling function to Elscint Automation, the Bowl Feeder manufacturer saves on this time, thus saving not only on valuable labour and overhead costs but also increasing the number of bowl feeders which can be manufactured and supplied without increasing the number of bowl tooling technicians, who are in short supply.

The quality of Elscint Bowls is comparable to any bowl manufactured in Europe and this can be gauged from the repeat orders Elscint is getting from Bowl Feeder manufacturers for this type of work.

Elscint Automation can provide either Cast Aluminum or Fabricated Stainless Steel Bowls.

Some manufacturers supply their own Cast Aluminum Bowls to Elscint Automation for doing the tooling.

This makes the tooled bowl from Elscint look similar to their own 'Homemade Bowls'.

Additionally, Elscint Automation can provide its popular Elscinthane Bowl Lining as well as provide the required finish for the Bowls.

With a lot of extra spare capacity, Elscint Automation can provide tooled bowls within a low delivery time and at very competitive costs.

In fact, Elscint Automation also takes care of the logistics and quotes for a Door Delivery rate which includes Air Freight to reach the Bowl Feeder Manufacturers factory within 4 working days of shipping the Bowl! Elscint also sends photos and videos of the Bowls on completion for approval of the customers.

Elscint Automation being an ISO 9001 registered company, customers can be assured of proper documentation like Test Reports and proper Instructions with the supplies.

Complete automatic inspection systems

Olympus has introduced the first system in its analySIS Inspector Series of complete automatic inspection systems for specific applications. Based on the newly launched analySIS family of software solutions, the analySIS Inspector series has been designed to fully automate and solve very specific tasks, such as filter, cast iron, and non metallic inclusion inspection. analysis software with hardware components, including microscope, digital camera, motorised stage and controller, all make up these new complete automatic inspection systems.

Incorporating a specially designed Graphical User Interface (GUI), the Inspector series' push-button operation is highly efficient and makes difficult analyses very simple to conduct and complete successfully.

The software is user-friendly and guides the user step-by-step through the entire analysis procedure.

Few steps are involved and more complex analyses can be learnt quickly.

The first system launched in this new series is the analySIS FilterInspector for simple fully automated optical analysis, classification and documentation of filter residues.

This is ideal for processes which must conform to certain cleanliness standards, such as during engine piston manufacture.

With its high resolution, the analySIS FilterInspector is designed for fast analysis.

This means that full inspection of circular filters 47 mm in diameter may be conducted quickly and at resolutions down to 0.8 um.

This speed is possible due to the fast cameras and motorised stages included in the comprehensive system solution.

The precisely attuned Olympus hardware and software components used in the Inspector series yield results with far greater precision and reproducibility than would be feasible using conventional systems.

Furthermore, as 'open' systems, the Inspector series components can be used as a standard microscope set-up for alternative applications, if required.

Small turning centre gives power and precision

Turning centre with a 25mm bar capacity and 405mm between centres offers very small footprint, a very solid machine bed, a thermo-symmetrical headstock with a precision spindle bearing.

At the AMB in Stuttgart, Germany, Emco Maier will unveil its new CNC E25 turning centre for the first time. This machine represents an impressive rounding off at the 'bottom end' of the model scale of the successful E range from Emco. The E25 with a spindle bore of 25mm will be the successor to the popular Emcoturn 325 in the Emco portfolio.

However, the new E25 is anything but just a mere updated version of its predecessor.

Whilst holding to the maxim 'design to cost', which is adhered to for the whole E range, the E25 is a completely new development.

The aim of the development work was an ambitious one: improving the performance, quality and precision at the same time as radically reducing costs.

The first tests have shown that the Emco developers have managed to achieve what the international market expects of the new E25.

The machine offers uncompromising quality levels right down to the last screw - and all this at an unbeatable price.

The standard version of the E25 costs only EUR 39.990.

For their money, customers will get the very best in European technology, with precision, a long service life and an excellent performance.

Emco is expecting a similar run on the E25 as it experienced with its sister model: 'Since we managed to match the low-cost offerings from the Far East with the E45 and E65 in terms of price and performance, many of our customers have been waiting for the continuation of the E range into the compact class,' said Emco's 'upbeat' product manager Gerhard Meisl.

* Impressive technology - the E25 will be available in four different variants - starting with the basic version and including the tailstock version as well as the top-of-the-range model with driven tools and a C axle.

All of the variants are equipped with a 12-head turret with VDI 16 shaft.

The E25, with its very small footprint, offers everything that is good about and expensive in modern machine tool building: a very solid machine bed made from machine casting, a thermo-symmetrical headstock with a precision spindle bearing, pre-stressed roller guides in all of its axles and a fast switching Sauter tool turret.

The customer can choose between a Sinumerik 810D and a Fanuc 0iTC control unit - including dialog programming with ShopTurn or ManualGuide.

And if anybody needs any more convincing about the Emco E25, then they should know that it offers a perfectly aligned bar loader package, that costs just EUR 8.950, inclusive of an alarm lamp and interface.

And any user that needs to feed the E25 with longer bars, will be very pleased to hear about the new Emco Top Load 4-25/3300 bar loader for 3m bars.
