INew TSK Measuring System Performs Continuous Radial' Scanning TSK America has unveiled its Radiance Radial Measuring System (RMS), a solution for complex rotary measuring challenges. The all-new RMS permits unrestricted rotary scanning of parts such as gears, turbine blades, cones and other shapes with reduced cycle times and improved accuracy for complex measurements. The measuring range of the RMS is 1m in diameter and .0.6 m vertically, yet the machine occu- pies less than 2.5 m 2 of floorspace. The Radiance Measuring System allows manufacturers to collect information quickly and accurately. Linear accuracy in the X and Z axes is 2 microns; the U2 (X and Z axes) is 2.0 + U500 microns. Angular accuracy is 3 arc-seconds..Acceleration is 1000 mmls 2 along the linear axes (X and Z) and 250 mrn/s? along the Y (round) axis. Measuring speeds are up to 250 mmJs. "The main advantage to the Radiance is that for the first time ever, users can complete a full radial scan.of a nonrotating part without probe changes or reorientation," said Jack Epstein, TSK product manager and developer of the Radiance concept.

Circle 300 58 GEAR TECHNOLOGY Guvson Introduces New Rotal'\' Indexing Blast System Guyson Corporation announces the introduction of the Model RXS-lOOO indexing spindle-blast machine. This midsized system is applicable to a wide variety of impact treatment operations such as shot peening, deburring, cos- metic finishing, etching and surface preparation, in which 360-degree cover- age is required on components that must be handled and blasted individually. Up to 12 component-holding spindles are located around the perimeter of the machine's 42" diameter indexing table. Components. more through separate entry, blast and airwash chambers. within the blast cabinet before returning to tbe front load/unload position. Vertical slid- ing doors, actuated by pneumatic cylinders, are available to seal the blast enclosure and isolate dust and noise from the work environment. The overall dimensions of the blast cabinet are approximately 72" high by 55" wide by 80" deep (183 em x 140 em x 203 em). A full depth door with abrasion-protected view windows on each side of the cabinet enables full access for inspection, adjust- ment and maintenance, For more information contact John Carson, Guyson Corp., at (518) 587-7894 or via e-mail at jccarson@guyson.com. Circle 301 Thomson Industries Introduces the UltraTRUE Planetary Gearhea.d The UltraTRUE Planetary Gearhead has the highest radial load capacity, lip to 8,500 lbs., of all the Thomson Micron planetary gearheads. This ultra-precise gearhead was designed for the high torque performance requirements of tool changers and plasma and waterjet cut- ting equipment The UltraTRUE has two important features: a standard 4-arcminute backlash and crowned helical carburized steel gears that are hardened to a minimum of HRC 60 and flank-fin- ished after heat treating for ultra smooth performance. The UltraTRUE provides lifetime lubrication and features a self- aligning RediMount system that speeds mounting to virtually any motor. For more information, contact Thomson at (516) 467-8000 or send E-mail to gearheads@thomsonmail.com Circle 302 INew Small Parts Washer from Cincinnati Industrial Machinery Cincinnati Industrial Machinery introduces its small parts washer with a unique 360 Q rotation and separation design. The washer feamres a special Sshaped track to guide round parts from side to side to ensure complete and proper cleaning. Parts remain separated throughout the wash and blow off stages via stationary slots. The brass drying trays prevent the parts from marring, which occurs with other metal trays. For more information, contact Keith Williams, industrial systems sales manager, at (513) 769-0700 or by fax at (5]3) 769-0697. Circle 303
