The jaw kit consists of one jaw and one hex screw pin. This new jaw kit for the GRZ 20-16 offers injection molders the ability to interchange existing jaws for various size jaws. The challenge to customize the application of a parts/sprue plier led to the development of the GRZ 20-16 with removable screws. This new jaw kit will provide molders with the ability to easily interchange and configure the jaw size by ordering kits of the same size to customize their gripping requirements. http://tools.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=14616%2etxt June 2008 - Manufacturers seeking greater flexibility, agility and multi-function capability can find a uniquely adaptable solution at IMTS in 5-axis interpolated machining by the Tricept T9000 parallel kinematic machine system. Proven with more than 300 installations worldwide at progressive aerospace, automotive, rail and general manufacturers, the amazingly versatile T9000 can perform milling, drilling, routing, deburring and finishing, optical inspection and touch probing, fastener/rivet installation, even friction stir welding with just a change of tooling. The universal machine is being exhibited on a Modular Element Systems (MES) platform that allows simple bolt-up reconfiguration between vertical, horizontal and 45° angular orientations. http://tools.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=14579%2etxt Conventional rack, shelving, and drawer systems used in many stamping facilities are a less-than-lean method of storing dies. They consume a lot of floor space, and locating and retrieving dies encroaches on production time. In addition, these conventional methods expose dies to damage. http://tools.industrysearch.com/cgi-bin/portal2/main.plx?file=14568%2etxt COLUMBUS – Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher has announced that more than $18.1 million in economic development and roadwork development grants have been awarded to aid in the growth of businesses and the creation and retention of jobs in Ohio.
