MX7 Grinder Makes Tools With Up To 16mm Diameters

Anca's MX7 CNC grinder, which the company recently exhibited at the EMO Exhibition, can manufacture a variety of tools up to 16mm in diameter. Adam Wallace, the MX7 product manager, said: 'The MX7 offers high output, enhanced flexibility and rapid changeover for high-efficiency and support for lean-manufacturing principles.

'The MX7 provides superb flexibility and quick changeovers to accommodate smaller batch sizes yet high output for production houses. 'That's where the ten-second wheel-and-tool changeover capability really makes its mark.' The MX7's permanent-magnet spindle produces superior performance across the entire spindle working range; it operates to a maximum of 10,000rpm with a spindle power rating of 20kW/27Hp (S1).

Because of a lower current draw, less heat is generated and therefore less system expansion takes place, which further aids precision. Although applicable to a range of materials, the MX7's higher torque at lower RPM characteristics are particularly suited to efficient carbide grinding.

The inclusion of a standard wheel-pack changer increases the machine's productivity and flexibility. The MX7 has a speedy 10-second wheel-change time and six HSK wheel packs. MX7 productivity can be further enhanced with the use of the MLX Loader, designed for maximum productivity, minimal set-up time and a 10 second tool-change time.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
