SLOTTING TOOLS
Dathan also produces a range of slotting tools for use on gear shaping machines. These are usually used to produce forms that cannot be generated in the normal way. Combination tools can also be produced as the gold cutter below. This is a custom made generating and slotting tool designed to cut a splines in a part with large clearance areas and teeth with radial sides.
We will be exhibiting at EMO Milano Hall 10 Stand D06
In addition to having been digitalized, the two new dry ice blasting machines from IceTech, the „IceBlast KG30 PROFESSIONAL“ and the „IceBlast KG50 PROFESSIONAL“ have achieved the following approvals:
– TÜV
– TÜV/GS (GS stands for “geprüfte Sicherheit”, i.e. “approved safety”)
New Safety Couplings
The PROFESSIONAL models are fitted safety couplings between machine, hose and blasting gun.
The safety couplings
– lock automatically when pressurized
– stay locked during the blasting process
– are fitted with twisting stop
– can rotate 320°, i.e. max. IceGun mobility
– prevent hose or cable damage due to excessive twisting/winding
DIGITALIZED BLASTING MACHINES
WITH GROUND/EARTH MONITORING AND PROGRAM FUNCTION
IceTech introduces two new digital dry ice blasting machines, the „IceBlast KG30 PROFESSIONAL“ and the „IceBlast KG50 PROFESSIONAL“.
The machines are equipped with a user-friendly multi-touch control panel, including:
– Memory for storing of blasting parameters
– Service menu with error log indication, adjustment possibilities, etc.
– Hour counter
– Ground/earth monitoring (no machine start without ground/earth connection)
– Display of actual dry ice consumption
– Display of actual blasting pressure
– Multiple language display
– Password protection
– Optional remote control of blasting parameters from the blasting gun
Optimum Safety – Ground/Earth Monitoring
To ensure optimum safety, the PROFESSIONAL models are fitted with ground/earth monitoring that prevents machine start in case of insufficient ground/earth connection. In this way the user is protected optimally against static electricity.
Programming
Up to 4 programs can be stored in the machine memory. The programs can be locked, and only a password can unlock the machine so as to bypass these fixed programs. This feature is an advantage especially in large production companies since a more uniform cleaning is achieved and an overconsumption of dry ice due to incorrectly set blasting parameters is avoided.
Remote Control from the Blasting Gun
The major advantage of the IceGun PRO MultiTouch
is that the blasting parameters can be controlled remotely from the blasting gun. With this MultiTouch blasting gun the operator will not have to stop the blasting operation in order to adjust the parameters on the machine. This means that the blasting machine does not necessarily have to be located near the item to be dry ice blasted.
The blasting guns are modularly designed and can be combined with a broad range of nozzles and accessories. This makes them adaptable to suit each individual blasting application, thus it is always possible to obtain maximum cleaning efficiency.

Yuanben flow switches used for plasma cutters and the cooling system
Water-cooling systems for plasma cutters are very similar to those used in automobile engines, use water and coolant, a pump, cooling hoses, and a heat exchanger to remove energy from a heat source. In an automobile, the heat source is the combustion chamber inside the engine, which operates at temperatures in excess of 1000°C. In a plasma torch the heat source is the plasma chamber inside the torch where the temperature of the arc can exceed 10,000°C.
A plasma torch, like an engine, is cooled by a combination of radiation, convection, and conduction. Energy radiates from the arc in the form of intense ultraviolet rays. Heat converts away from the torch and torch parts through moving gas or air. And finally the water-cooling system conducts heat away from the torch parts into the coolant.
What happens when conductive cooling is reduced? The system overheats rapidly. When the plasma system overheats it will also cost you time and money. An overheating plasma system will wear out torch parts quickly and eventually may burn out the torch and leads. If the problem goes uncorrected, a motor and pump may have to be replaced. But the downtime and expense of overheating can be avoided. Understanding the system and its components will help you troubleshoot problems when they occur and prevent future failures through preventative maintenance.
A typical cooling system of plasma cutters consists of a torch, motor, pump, cooling lines, flow switch, filter, heat exchanger and reservoir with float level switches and temperature switches.
Plasma torches that operate at 100-150A require water-cooling to keep the torch and parts from overheating. The copper electrode generates the plasma arc and is closest to the heat source so it requires direct cooling. Most high power electrodes are hollow milled to allow for improved cooling at the tip, a water tube extends into this milled area, closely spaced and precisely aligned to the electrode and provides a high flow velocity of coolant over the interior rear surface of the electrode.
Flow switches are designed to prevent catastrophic failure of the torch and parts in the event of low coolant flow. Brass block plunger type devices are typically used with a micro-switch that must be satisfied for the system to run. Now our flow switches is used in this system.
Flow switches FS-700 (P/N: FS7013) is used in Tank-less water heater
Tank-less Water Heater heats water instantly to any adjustable temperature, Cold water enters at the bottom and travels through a flow switch which activates the unit when the power switch is on. When incoming water exits the flow switch, it comes in contact with stainless steel heating elements which efficiently transfer energy to heat the water. Electronic control monitors senses the outlet water temperature and determines how many current needed to be turned on heating elements to efficiently maintain the desired temperature.
The truth…is that cutting greenhouse gas emissions is affordable as well as essential.
Serious studies say that we can achieve sharp reductions in emissions with only a small impact on the economy’s growth.
And the depressed economy is no reason to wait — on the contrary, an agreement in Copenhagen would probably help the economy recover.

Hyundai first started building cars at its Montgomery, Alabama assembly plant in May 2005, and last week amidst considerable fanfare, the plant’s one millionth car rolled off the line. The milestone vehicle was a 2010 Sonata sedan, one of the last of its type before the plant switches over to the new 2011 YF model that debuted in Los Angeles at nearly the same time.
The plant also builds the mid-sized Santa Fe crossover and the mix so far has been about two-thirds Sonata with the CUV making up the rest. According to Hyundai, approximately 2,700 people work at the assembly plant. An adjacent engine plant produces V6 and four-cylinder engines including the new 2.4-liter direct injected engine for the Sonata. Official press release after the jump.

NPD Group has released its latest numbers for U.S. computer sales in October, and Macs are occupying many spots at or near the top of the list in all categories. Sales of both Mac desktop and notebook computers were very impressive for the month, but a good amount of that success can be attributed to the introduction of new models.
Among the big winners for October were the new 21-inch iMac, which topped the desktop sales charts, and the more expensive and powerful 27-inch iMac, which took a surprisingly high third place overall.
The iMac wasn’t the only winner, as Apple also saw strong sales in the notebook department. The entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro came in first overall in notebook sales, and Apple occupied four of the top 10 spots for the month, though its other offerings placed low, taking the eighth, ninth, and 10th locations.
NPD Group’s vice president of industry analysis attributed Apple’s success to low numbers on the PC side of the equation, too, in an interview conducted with CNET:
Apple gets a bounce whenever they come out with new computers. For the most part, October was a down month on the Windows side because [PC manufacturers] were working through inventory before the Windows 7 launch.
Baker goes onto speculate about what’s behind Apple’s success:
Over past few years, Apple has continued to gain share in the market, and there are a lot of ways to explain that. It could be the stores, the computers themselves, the iPod, or iPhone. I think it’s a combination of all those things.
There’s no doubt in my mind that customer experience is the key to Apple’s success of late. The iPod and iPhone might have been the gateway drug for many users, but these days I find just as many people for whom the opposite is true. The common denominator is user friendliness and great support. The November numbers will be a much better indicator of Apple’s true success, however, since it will see a lot of holiday sales, and also should show how Mac is faring against Windows 7 machines.
The dollar is rallying.
Shouldn't stocks be falling according to the all-important weak dollar correlation we've been fed by traders and pundits over the last few months?
It was supposed to explain everything.
Well like most correlations, it seemed right until it simply wasn't. It will probably seem right again in the future.
Thus the dollar is up today against most major currencies, while U.S. stock indices are rallying at the same time.
Gold continues to sell-off, down almost another $30, to $1,140. The short-term chart above looks pretty ugly.
Yet not all commodities are in bad shape. Natural gas is rallying over 6%.

It’s getting hard to keep track of all the different ways people are attacking Friday’s employment number.
You’ve got TrimTabs which keeps banging the drum about the birth-death model.
You’ve got folks talking about how it was all in temp work, or the public.
Then there are those who point out all of the people who have left the workforce.
David Rosenberg chimes in with another: that it just can’t be right, because it doesn’t jibe with the contraction in the services sector
——
A 1-IN-35 EVENT
It’s remarkable nobody talks about this. The big surprise in the payroll data was
the service sector component; it rose 58k. But we know from the ADP report
that service sector employment fell 81k, which was fractionally worse than the
79k decline in October. Such a discrepancy has occurred less than 3% of the
time in the past, and each time, the following month after the big gap, there was
a convergence … with headline nonfarm payrolls swinging 100k lower on
average, which would imply a 111k decline when December’s figure comes out.
Also take note that the +58k print in the service sector payroll was completely at
odds with the 41.6 reading in the ISM non-manufacturing employment index in
November — a figure that in the past was consistent with a -192k tally in service
sector payrolls and never before aligned with a positive number. Go back to the
2001 recession, and the worst ISM non-manufacturing jobs subindex was 43.9
(right after 9/11) and here we published a figure that was more than two points
shy of that!
So as we wonder how the headline number could only be -11k on Friday, there
were some very lumpy increases in some very non-cyclical segments of the
economy:
• Administration/waste management +87k
• Health/education +40k
• Government +7k
The rest of the economy shed 145 jobs and the declines were spread across
nearly 60% of the industrial base from retail, to transports, to manufacturing, to
construction. For some reason, we didn’t see this dichotomy mentioned
anywhere in the weekend press.

Production of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt marks an important transition for General Motors. It’s the first plug-in electric drive vehicle that the automaker is building for sale to anyone that wants one. No more of the limited lease-only deals that were done with the EV1 a decade ago. To demonstrate its commitment to transforming transportation, GM decided to build the Volt on its home ground right in Detroit.
Today, GM is announcing it’s spending $336 million to re-tool the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant to build the Volt. The factory, which had been building the Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne, is being refurbished for the Volt. GM will start building pre-pilot Volts on its assembly iine around March of 2010 to verify the production processes. The Hamtramck plant will also build the Opel/Vauxhall Ampera beginning later in 2011 for European consumption.
The Hamtramck investment is part of $700 million being invested in Michigan facilities to produce the Volt and its components. That includes a new engine line at the Flint South engine plant and the battery pack assembly plant in Brownstown Township south of Detroit.

Rose M. Welch writes in to point to the latest example of entitlement culture gone wrong. Apparently, two groups representing artists in Canada, The Canadian Artists’ Representation, known as CARFAC, and the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels du Quebec (RAAV), have filed a complaint against the National Gallery in Canada. The National Gallery already pays artists an exhibition fee to display their art. But, CARFAC and RAAV think that the National Gallery needs to pay them multiple times for the same artworks, because the Gallery also uses some of the artwork it displays in brochures, catalogs and other offerings. Of course, you would think that artists would be thrilled to be displayed in the National Gallery, to get that recognition and promotion, and the ability to declare their artwork “as seen in the National Gallery,” which you would think would certainly boost what they can charge. But, apparently, that’s not enough. At some point, it makes you wonder if the National Gallery shouldn’t just focus on artists who aren’t members of these organizations, so they can work with artists who actually appreciate being in The National Gallery of Canada.

South Carolina passed a law increasing sentences for driving under the influence earlier this year, including mandatory minimums beginning at the second offense.
While regular readers know that I’m usually no fan of mandatory minimums and using punishment to deter crime, I think South Carolina is on the right track with a five-day mandatory minimum for a second DUI — and I wonder if the sentence might even work as a deterrent if applied to a first offense.
I’ve written before about the success of short, immediate sentences in deterring probation violations in Hawaii. Mark A. R. Kleiman providean analysis of the Hawaii’s HOPE program and adds more data in his book “When Brute Force Fails,” showing that definite sentences deter crime. One study of drunk driving recidivism in Alberta suggested that five days might be too short, but found that the maximum deterrent effect may be reached around six months. Longer sentences had little impact on recidivism.
Mandatory sentences of 10 years of longer for crimes like drug possession are outlandish and unnecessary for a variety of reasons. The perpetrators know there will be serious repercussions if they’re caught – they think they won’t be caught. And the sentence is so long and irrational that there’s a chance they’ll be able to beat it. But five days, no questions asked, for a Breathalyzer over the legal limit? That might work.
There’s a very good reason our KitchenAid mixer is wearing a skirt.
