construction and an absence of moving parts assures maintenance-free operation. The Mini Cooler is ideal for applications where liquid cooling cannot be used due to part contamination or cost. In addition to preventing premature tool wear, it pro- vides cooling for sewing needles, blades, small tools and lens grinding. The CE-com- pliant units operate quietly, at 76 dBA.

40-Ton Electric-Drive Press Brake
LVD Strippit has introduced the Dyna- Press 40/15 Pro to its Dyna-Press series of high-speed electric-drive press brakes. The 40-ton press brake features a 59-in. working length and a precision five-axis backgauge, and can bend at speeds to 1 in./sec. The press brake can be com- bined with an industrial robot to create a compact, high-speed robotic bending cell.
The Dyna-Press electric ram offers a
smooth transition from approach to working speed and minimizes power consumption through the use of an optimal power to inertia motor ratio, according to company officials. Two heavy-duty ball screws provide the coupling between the ram and the servo motors, enabling even force and tonnage distribution across the working length, and reportedly providing rapid, energy-efficient operation across a range of bending jobs.
The press brake comes equipped with a five-axis backgauge to provide consistent
accuracy, with a vertical-removal tooling style that allows simple and rapid change- over. Operators can sit or stand while oper- ating the machine, with an Iris Lazer Safe guarding system providing for added safety. LVD Strippit: www.lvdgroup.com
Pipe Cutting Needs
The Roto Hornet 2000 from Hornet Cutting Systems is designed to increase production and improve accuracy in heavy- duty pipe-cutting applications. The system includes Hornet’s pneumatic pipe-loading table, Hypertherm plasma systems, Hyper- therm CAM Rotary Tube Pro software and Hornet’s heavy-duty design.
The system can cut pipe in diameters between 2 and 24 in., and lengths from 10 to more than 40 ft. Machine options include plasma cutting systems to 400 A, a contour bevel system and a trolley cantilever add-on to enable six-axis motion. Hornet Cutting Systems: www.hornetcs.com
