The Tubetastic!™ low-profile oil skimmer has been redesigned for easier maintenance. Designed to reach inside the coolant sumps of metalworking machines, it easily mounts to the side of virtually any machining centre coolant sump. The skimmer can skim oil from regular coolant sumps or totally enclosed machining centres. Its side-mounted design allows it to fit into hard to access sumps and drawers with little no top access. Using an existing opening or through a small access cutout, the unit's collector tube runs through the surface of the coolant to collect unwanted oils. The oil then flows out the discharge tube into any waste oil container for easy disposal.

AutomationDirect has introduced a new line of Hammond control transformers. The HPS Imperator series transformers are suitable for high inrush applications requiring reliable output voltage stability. The unique fin-shaped design utilizes superior insulation systems and is constructed with high-quality steel laminations. Designed to meet industrial applications where electromagnetic devices such as relays, solenoids, etc. are used, they maximize inrush capability and output voltage regulation when electromagnetic devices are initially energized. These transformers are 50/60 Hz, 600V class, machine tool rated with ratings from 50 VA up to 1000 VA. They are UL listed, CE marked and RoHS compliant.

The Align® Adjustable Height Workstation can be easily adjusted to accommodate the worker with the appropriate worksurface height. The adjustability of this product makes it ideally suited for such tasks as quality assurance, calibration and R&D development. Designed with the operator in mind, the workstation aligns with the worker's optimal reach zone to reduce fatigue, stress and potential injury. Its advanced ergonomic design also works to optimize production throughput. The height of the worksurface can be easily adjusted from 25 1/2" to 41 1/2" through use of a motorized, hand crank or slide leg base. The motorized base can be preset with three height positions. All uprights and components move in relation to the worksurface height.

The SWS310 tension weigh modules with the SLS410 load cell enable users to convert a suspended hopper or vessel into a scale. The mounting hardware is durable enough to withstand harsh industrial environments and support the vessel safely. The clevis and rod assemblies are able to compensate for slight misalignment which helps provide accurate and repeatable weighing. The modules are easy to install in a variety of industrial applications. Tension weigh modules can also be used to convert mechanical scales for electronic weighing.

The 160 series positioning table is designed to maximize performance while minimizing physical size. These tables use a low friction, preloaded, recirculating linear ball bearing system, which rides on precision ground linear rails. The linear rails are mounted to an extruded aluminum base, which offers a rigid support over the entire travel of the table's carriage. The user load is mounted to the carriage by using the carriage's T-slot and with T-nuts. There are 38 different acme & ball screw options that offer high efficiencies and a long life. These tables are designed to allow for numerous options.

Milwaukee introduces a new 4-volt lithium-ion screwdriver designed for high-speed fastening with maximum control in small spaces. The powerful, compact and lightweight 0490-22 is ideal for a variety of electrical, manufacturing and assembly applications. It features a two-position handle (pistol and in-line) to accommodate tight workspaces and awkward angles, a heavy-duty two-speed gearbox delivering 600 max RPM, and a 3.0 amp-hour lithium-ion battery for long life and fade-free power. A 21-position clutch features automatic shut-off, which stops rotation of the bit once desired torque setting is met, for improved torque control and offers a drill mode for drilling pilot holes or removing damaged screws. A snug bit grip prevents dropped screws when the screwdriver is inverted.

The Tennant Eco-ECT floor coating is an environmentally friendly topcoat that can be used in conjunction with the Tennant Eco-EDP electrostatic dissipative primer or the Tennant Eco-ECP electrostatic conductive primer. The coating is ideal for electronics or other industries where static discharge control is required as the coating protects equipment, people, and products by dissipating potentially harmful static electricity for the life of the coating. It also improves the appearance of floors with increased light reflectivity and is easy to maintain.
