New Products
Agitating, Immersion Parts Washer
The new TL Series Liftkleen semiau- tomatic immersion parts washer from Graymills, Chicago, IL, offers operating capabilities and features commonly only found in high-end equipment, say com- pany officials. The washer features heavy-gauge construction with durable powder-coated exteriors. For water-based applications, the TL Series boasts stain- less-steel construction, an insulated tank and thermostatically adjustable heat to 180 F.
Powerful electropneumatic lift mech- anisms provide 300 lb. of weight capac- ity with adjustable stroke and speed set- tings. Generous platform and tank dimensions accommodate parts as large as 47 by 18 by 24 in. An automatic open-and-close lid and deluxe, filtered detail brush and recirculation pump allow spot cleaning of difficult-to-reach areas. An available 3000-gal./hr. inter-
nal agitation pump for improved in-tank cleaning, and filtration and oil skimmer for fluid consistency round out the machine’s features.

HMI Designed Specifically for Burning Tables
Walker Magnetics, Worcester, MA, a manufacturer of magnetic products for industrial applications, introduces a human machine interface (HMI) for burn- ing-table applications with a touchscreen panel. The HMI mimics the most modern CNC control panels, say company officials, with multiple screens to provide opera- tors with a clear visual of all system func- tions. Operators gain instant access to information, feedback and options.
Using the screen, the operator can easily choose which individual or group of lifting devices to use—magnets or vac- uum pads. No more toggles or switches —one HMI screen can replace hun- dreds of wires needed for a conventional system.
