POINT-BLANK™ Expansion – Additional Holder Program

The overwhelming response to LMT-Fette’s POINT-BLANKTM turning system has created the need to further expand the program. This program now includes popular Swiss-style OD turning holders and common boring bars.


This patented holder allows for the coolant to be put exactly where it is needed, on the cutting edge. This alone has a significant impact on chip control, tool life, and work piece surface finish.
With our patented POINT-BLANKTM design, the coolant is directed to the cutting edge by way of our patented top plate or coolant nozzle design. There no longer is the worry of coolant lines being moved by stringy chips or high-coolant pressure. You will always have directional control of your coolant, and have it right where it is needed, on the cutting edge.

The POINT-BLANKTM tool holder is designed for use in all rough or finish turning applications. Where any standard turning holder is being used, the POINT-BLANKTM tool holder can be used. There is no longer the worry of where the coolant is hitting the insert. The versatile design of the POINT-BLANKTM tool holder allows maximum coolant volume and pressure to be put directly on the cutting edge. With standard coolant pumps, increased coolant velocity can be obtained to help with tool life and chip control.

The primary advantage of POINT-BLANKTM tool holder concept is its ability to run LMT-Fette’s turning inserts at higher speeds and feeds because of the security and velocity of the coolant flow. Additionally, all the dimensions are the same as standard tool holders so the machine programs do not have to be changed. The coolant-through capability allows for excellent tool life, as well as tremendous chip evacuation. The increased coolant velocity keeps the chips from adhering to the cutting edge and reduces the temperature at the cutting edge via increased lubricity, even while cutting at higher cutting speeds. Lastly, the POINT-BLANKTM tool holder can be used with all standard LMT-Fette turning inserts, as well as any ANSI or ISO standard turning insert.

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.
