Magnum Venus Plastech (MVP) designed a new vertical winding system for Delta Environmental Products
In the seasonal spirit of teamwork, Magnum Venus Plastech (MVP) designed a new vertical winding system for Delta Environmental Products. The automated system, used to make tank shells in Delta’s wastewater division, allows for the resin and fiberglass to be applied in rings instead of swaths, which MVP says results in a faster and cleaner process requiring less drying. The company also says production time to finish a tank was reduced from 58 minutes to 15 minutes, and that Delta now produces 30 tanks in one day as opposed to 18 previously. The former method also used a large amount of resin, which is generally a high cost item.
While Delta and Magnum Venus were thinking smaller, Methods Machine Tools Inc. is thinking bigger. They’re making a Super NTY3 Multitasking Turn/Mill Machining Center from Nakamura-Tome available in larger capacity “Jumbo” stations. The new Super NTY3 Jumbo Systems feature a 10-inch chuck on the left and right spindles and offer large bar capacities up to 3.15 inches on the left and 2.8 inches on the right. Ample room is provided for a big swing and a large turning diameter up to 12.8 inches. The Jumbo systems also offer multi-point machining with process integration, combining turning and milling capabilities in one machine.
But why stop at one product when you can shop for a plethora of items? Onsrud Cutter LP has released a new catalog featuring tooling for the fabrication of honeycomb core and honeycomb panel materials. The catalog contains new product including diamond grit and solid carbide roughers and blades designed for today’s high-tech materials. Honeycomb materials are used in the aerospace, automotive, marine, wind energy and other industries where low weight, high strength construction is required.
