Jena Tec is pleased to announce the introduction of the HFES high speed engraving series to complement its existing range of motorised and belt driven spindles. Water cooled for efficiency and with manual collet tool change for economy and simplicity, the HFES range provides a modular range of high performance units for engraving, drilling and routing.

Jena Tec’s range of Duplex Tool post grinding systems offer users a greatly expanded capability to adapt existing plant and equipment to have grinding capability. Offering one of the most extensive ranges, Jena Tec’s products are inherently flexible and cost effective to give all the benefits of a precision grinding process without the high cost of a cylindrical grinding machine.

Launch into the UK market of a complete range of compact, collet mounted electric spindles and accessories by Jena Rotary Technology Ltd. The machining of wood, plastics, glass, marble and light alloys become more readily available with the use of the GCR range of modular, square bodied spindles from Jena Tec.

Nord Drivesystems has extended its family of high-integrity industrial gearbox units, adding a family of high-power models with maximum torque ratings up to 200000 Nm.

Clamping element innovator Elesa have again found a novel new take on adjustable clamping handles – by reducing the angle of the handle to 90o they have lowered the profile by up to 21mm so that there is less protrusion into work areas – an important factor where space or garment “snagging” is an issue.

Elesa’s really comfy to use Ergostyle range of machine elements now includes the ERM range of adjustable clamping handles in epoxy coated zinc die. These handles are a real advantage where space is tight since they allow partial tightening with a limited arc, then release and reverse to tighten again over the same arc. Other applications include repetitive clamping applications where the speedy ratchet style action greatly enhances operator comfort and productivity.

The Fort range of locks from EMKA - of interest for office furniture, cupboards, alarms, lockers, toolboxes etc. now includes a compact three digit combination lock. The simple trial operation and low cost offers security greater than many key systems without the problems of lost/broken keys and so on. Rapid fixing and a variety of tab styles are important features.

The latest single line automated lubrication systems from SKF have been designed to reduce the cost of retrofitting and operating vehicles used in extreme applications. By ensuring components such as bearings are provided with the correct amount of lubricant when and where it is required, the SKF Multilube and Minilube systems optimise vehicle productivity and uptime quickly, simply and cost effectively.

5 seconds to fit an O ring sealed quarter-turn lock with insert and cam? That’s what the people at EMKA claim for their Program 1500 clip-in lock. For anybody who has ever fiddled with nuts and screws at the end of a panel assembly, this new 3 part ¼ turn will be a delight. The program 1500 clip-in lock features typical EMKA styling and quality at a fraction of normal cost and only 5 secs to fit!

The precision liquid dispensing specialists at Intertronics have introduced a new lubricant application system from I & J Fisnar for machine parts that require constant lubricating of their surface areas, such as gears and rollers – these can now be serviced by the use of a precision IJF SV1217 Spray Valve and programmable controller IJF SVC100 which precisely directs a fine mist of lubricant to the moving part using time and pressure sequencing and can keep pace with fast revolving machinery up to 400 cycles per minute while accommodating lubricant viscosities up to 1000 cps.
