No. W4900 Wireless Digital Electronic Indicator is a precision measurement gage featuring touchscreen technology, multiple resolution and color settings, digital and analog readouts, seven languages, and wireless output.

The W4900 AGD Group 4 Indicators have large, easy-to-read and navigate capacitive touchscreen user interface menus, and wireless output for statistical process control (SPC) via data collection systems such as Starrett DataSure 4.0 for leveraging data for SPC and Industry 4.0 applications.

A customizable backlighting function enables digital and analog readouts to be viewed in the same indicator. Features include auto-on via touch of the screen or indicator stem and auto-off after the desired pre-set time, in addition to a rechargeable, long-life battery.

With IP67 protection for harsh manufacturing environments, the indicators also have a durable Corning Gorilla Glass screen. The indicator has a 1" (25mm) range and accuracy of ±0.00012" (0.003mm), with resolutions of 0.001"/0.0005"/0.0001"/0.00005" (0.01mm/0.005mm/0.002mm/0.001mm).

Two-turret, twin-spindle multitasking lathe

The Nakamura-Tome WY-100V two-turret, twin-spindle precision CNC multitasking lathe is the successor to the WY-100II and includes artificial intelligence (AI)-infused software, enhanced multi-processing, and faster simultaneous operations to reduce cycle time up to 30%.

ChronoCut technology delivers higher spindle and milling speeds than its predecessor through:

• 53% faster rigid tap operations
• 37% faster part unloading
• 22% faster C-axis positioning
• 15% faster high-speed spindle synchronization
• 11% faster turret indexing

The NT Smart X control’s 3D Smart Pro AI programming provides real-time 3D CAD drawing analysis for program creation for all processes from raw material to finished product.

Mechatronic grippers

The MOTIACT gripper series for end of arm tooling (EOAT) performs precise, consistent, and accurately monitored gripping operations for moving parts, pallets, and chucks in and out of CNC machines and automated work cells. The grippers are equipped with an incremental measuring system to guarantee adjusting gripping pressure, linear positioning, and speed control as standard features. All models are available with a Profinet, Ethernet IP, Digital IO or I/O link interface to ensure integration into existing systems.

The MX-S small parts, MX-M universal, and MX-L long-stroke grippers can safely move large loads and are up to IP67 rated for durability in harsh environments.

The MX-L 520 mechatronic large-stroke gripper (shown) provides gripping forces ranging from 10kN to 40kN, a large jaw stroke, pre-positioning, and clamping force adjustment. The large gripper has a maximum stroke per jaw of 99mm and repeatability at ±0.02mm.

Inductive coupling enables the grippers to rotate a full 360° in both directions. Non-contact power and signal transmission technology offers transmission distances up to 5mm and flexible installation. The stationary coupler base unit can communicate with several mobile units (Dynamic Pairing).
