Of- 888-976-6789 center milling, drilling and tapping can also be accomplished with yamaseiki.com Y axis, with travel of 100 mm (±50 mm from the center line). The widely spaced boxway design provides the rigidity needed for heavy-duty and interrupted turning applications. The low center of gravity 30-degree slant bed design not only provides smooth chip disposal and easier operator access, but also provides the most rigid foundation for the headstock, turret, tailstock, and subspindle, the company says. The rigid design enables long-term, high-precision turning. Equipped with an A2-8 (A2-11) spindle nose, the turning center features a 4.15" spindle bore; a bar capacity of 4.13"; and a 15" hydraulic, three-jaw chuck. The machine's 30-hp, high torque (Fanuc P motor) spindle spins to 2,500 rpm and provides maximum 852 foot-pounds of torque. The standard 12-station turret with 0.3-sec indexing time and the optional 12-station live turret bring the GS-3000 Personal Air Conditioning Vest Redesigned for Better Comfort and Cooling ITW Vortec now ofers its redesigned and re-engineered personal air conditioning (PAC) vest. The PAC vest, a solution to protect industrial workers in extreme temperature environments, now includes an integrated belt with a heat-resistant Nexus belt buckle. Since the belt holds the tubing for delivering hot or cold air to the wearer, these improvements ensure that workers wearing the PAC receive even more cool or warm air to combat extreme ambient conditions. The adjustable waist belt on the Vortec PAC provides a quick connection to cool or warm air with the dual action PAC switching quickly from hot to cold. The vests can be worn under other protective clothing and are designed to be adjusted easily by the user, even with gloved hands. The difuse air vests are available in three sizes to accommodate a range of body types. The lightweight PAC vests are available in both a cooling only version and a Dual Action model, which can be used to deliver either warm or cool air. The Vortec PACs deliver air at up to ± 45-60°F diferentials via the compressed air inlet, delivering cool or warm air to the wearer's torso and neck. Employers who have purchased the vest for their workers report improved worker productivity because the PAC eliminates incidences of worker stress in extreme hot or cold conditions. :: ITW Vortec 800-441-7475 itwvortec.com 50 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: AUGUST 2013
