SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING SHOW CAN BE THE PERFECT FINISH FOR VISITORS TO STAND D38
???Using Otec equipment the cost effective, high quality deburring and polishing of components are possible in diverse industries such as aerospace, automotive, tooling and engineering and even plastics.
A typical example is an aluminium part made on a CNC machine that was hand deburred before being gold plated.
The part maker made a 57 per cent saving by switching to processing on Otec deburring machines.???On stand will be Otec CF disc and DF drag finishing equipment.
These compact units can be located in the CNC manufacturing cell for just in time production.
Being up to 10 times faster than vibro machines and 20 times faster than conventional barrel finishing, means the CF and DF keep pace with CNC production and so eliminates the need for batching.
As parts leave the CNC machine they can be deburred immediately.
The Otec equipment is quiet too, eliminating one of the health and safety aspects of using large vibro machines.???For lower volume use the company will be showing the Otec ECO range.
These bench top units are easy to site anywhere, simple to use and still give both deburring and polishing options.???Finishing Techniques also provide a subcontract service.
Their special finishing lab delivers a fast, cost effective and quality service to manufacturers who need a solution to finishing problems caused by short run requirements due to machine breakdown, a sudden order surge or prototyping and testing.Blazing a TrailFirescan, an all in one laser engraving system, is blazing a trail to this year's Southern Manufacturing show.
Finishing Techniques, a specialist supplier of finishing equipment and subcontract services, is the sole UK distributor of Firescan and will be showing the equipment on stand D38.???The easy to use compact unit sits on your desktop and is ideal for perfect identification, quality control and data matrix codes.
Whether marking products and components with reference/part numbers, logos and safety information or as a design feature, Firescan reproduces them all flawlessly every time at resolutions up to 1000dpi.
The ultra-precise 0.2mm laser beam is controlled from a standard PC.
Perfect engraving and markings can be made on single items or batch production.???Standard metals, precious metals and even plastics are easy to etch using Firescan.
Deep engraving and intricate designs can be performed on flat or curved surfaces without the need for extensive training.
Furthermore, all markings are permanent, chemical proof and abrasion proof.???Unlike many other systems, Firescan is completely air cooled so there is no need for a water connection.
This contributes to low running costs and makes the unit more compact and convenient to locate wherever there is a standard power point.
It is safe to use on a desktop or place directly in the manufacturing cell.For easy editing, high/low resolution images are on the web at www.ainsmag.co.uk/fi172/3473fi1a.htm.

Tiny Printer Prints Directly Onto CD And DVD
Printing CD and DVD labels and then sticking them onto the disc is time consuming and messy. Peeling the sticky label off from the slick backing usually causes the label to curl up making it difficult to handle. And if you're not careful handling it, the label can touch and stick to itself thus rendering it totally useless. Using one of those label presses adds to the messiness since the label usually never lays flat enough on the press so that you can apply the disc's surface onto the curled label. Too many times you'll find yourself with a label that's either off center or creased.
You wind up with a disc that looks home-brewed and amateurish. And once the label has been applied, it's almost impossible to remove it so that you can try sticking another label onto the same disc again. Basically you have to toss the disc and burn another one. But there is a better way. Optical discs are now available with printable surfaces.
These discs amazingly cost no more than their...

New Lens That Closely Mimics the Human Eye Introduced In Michigan by TLC Eyecare and Laser Centers
A more advanced replacement lens that more closely mimics the human lens will be introduced this month by Paul H. Ernest, MD, and other physicians at TLC Eye Care & Laser Centers.The AcrySof Natural Lens, which has the capability of slowing the progression of macular degeneration, filters out blue light that can damage the pigment cells of the retina. While the human eye filters out up to 80 percent of blue light waves, traditional replacement lens can only filter out ultra-violet rays.When a cataract is removed and an artificial lens is inserted, the replacement lens absorbs blue light, which can damage the eye, says Dr. Ernest, founder of TLC Eye Care & Laser Centers and an associate clinical professor of ophthalmology at Kresge Eye Institute, Wayne State University. Dr.
Ernest, one of the principal clinical investigators of the Natural Lens, has participated in lectures and workshops on the topic in Florence, Italy-Nice, France, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and elsewhere.Because...
