IMTS - Okuma's New GA26W Grinder is Equipped with the Intelligent OSP-P300G Control

Easy Operation CNC control maximizes efficiency and production.

Okumas new GA26W high speed, compact grinder is now equipped with the intelligent OSP-P300G CNC control. Okumas open architecture OSP-P control runs on a Windows®-based platform and fully integrates the machine, motors, drives and encoders, allowing for enhanced machine performance and true customization to suit particular machining needs. The Easy Operation control and touch screen increase efficiency by letting users easily and quickly toggle between machine operations, programming and wheel preparation screens. At IMTS 2016 this machine will be shown grinding a steel shaft.

The innovative wheelhead traverse structure gives this CNC grinder a solid, compact footprint that saves valuable floor space while the user-friendly design allows various workpieces to be loaded effortlessly for easy automation in high production environments. The extremely rigid foundation paired with Okumas hydrodynamic wheel spindle allows for heavy-duty grinding.
The GA26W is equipped with standard chatter control function that automatically adjusts wheel speed for accurate, stable machining. The powerful 7.5kW (15kW-optional) grinding wheel spindle is ideal for grinding mass produced parts with precision.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
