ITC Shows Good Form With New Cutter

Paying close attention to customer feedback, ITC has now extended the extremely popular 3041 Cyber Series of three fluted end mills to incorporate a radius on all diameter sizes. The market leading Tamworth based manufacturer has expanded its carbide cutting tool range of aluminium and soft non-ferrous material cutters popular among the aerospace, medical and motorsport industries.

The 3 flute solid carbide single and square end series has made a significant impact in the marketplace since its recent introduction. The straight shank, right hand cut series with its 55 degree right hand helix is well suited to the rapid removal of ‘soft’ material and its swarf from the work area. Designed to deliver remarkable performance on soft materials, it is the special flute geometry that contributes to this excellent swarf clearance.

Outstanding surface finish is guaranteed due to the cutters rigidity and the circular land and end teeth ‘wipers’. The new 3041 Cyber Series with radius is available in 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm diameters with a choice of 0.5 or 1mm radius. The 8, 10, 12, 16, 20mm diameter cutters are available in 0.5mm increments from 0.5mm up to 2mm to meet the varying needs of its customers. However, ITC can offer additional sizes and radii upon request and as a UK based manufacturer, a rapid turnaround is a given – something ITC is finely attuned to with its wide spectrum of F1 and aerospace customers. The wide range of radii, make the 3041 Series the cutter of choice for machining forms in pockets.

The 3041 Cyber Series has a length of cut ranging from 12mm to 40mm with an overall length from 38mm on the 3mm diameter to 100mm on the 20mm diameter cutters. Research and development at ITC has found that these respective lengths provide the optimal cutting conditions with regard to productivity whilst the surface finish and tool life achieved with the 3041 is also way beyond that of competitor cutters. Customers wanting to machine deep pockets or long faces can find their solution with the 3051 Series of long length end mills.

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.
