chain
manufactured from igumid HT which will not melt even when subject to hot
chips up to
850oC, and a newly-launched stock bar made from high performance iglidur
bearing
materials. This, explains the company, means users can benefit from using
high quality
self-lubricating polymers in any machined component, and can now order a
mechanically machined special size bearing of any dimension in low
quantities.
Having recently entered into a strategic partnership with Vision & Control,
automation
and gripping technology supplier, Schunk, will be showing a selection of its

practically all tasks in
industrial image processing, says the company, including inspection of
workpieces,
completeness checks in assembly automation, searching for parts or
positioning axes
and angles.
The company will also be introducing the new size 60 Beta series of linear
axes which is
intended for economical axis applications with high demands on dynamic and
smooth
running; and showing the new polyamide gripper fingers and adapter plates
which were
