      <description><![CDATA[Metabo Corp. has introduced the 6-in. WEPA14-150 Quick small-angle grinder. Its autobalancing flange, pressed onto the spindle, replaces a traditional backing flange. Ball bearings automatically offset out-of-balance conditions present in the grinding accessory while the tool is in use to help reduce vibration. Suitable for heavy-duty cutting and grinding applications, the grinder features a 12.2-amp motor. A sonically balanced fan paired with improved venting and more efficient internal ducting has increased airflow over the motor by 15 percent, the company reports. In addition to the autobalance technology, the company's Vibratech (MVT) side handle reduces vibration up to 60 percent, according to the manufacturer. The grinder features a toolless wheel-change system, a nonlocking paddle switch, a current interruption switch, a toolless locking wheel guard with seven positions, and the S-Automatic safety slip clutch to help protect the operator from kickback by absorbing the torque created should the wheel bind or snag. The dust protection system includes an encapsulated on/off switch and autostop carbon brushes, double-lipped labyrinth sealed bearings, a dust-deflecting winding protection grid, and epoxy-coated field coil windings.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/finishing/deburring-system-designed-with-return-to-operator-configuration</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Abtex Corp. has introduced a compact, wet, Tri-Ten planetary-head deburring system in return-to-operator (RTO) configuration. In a single pass, the system deburrs both sides of flat parts up to 4.5 in. in diameter. Drenching the workpiece with coolant as it is deburred helps to keep parts clean and extend brush life. A magnetic conveyor carries parts through an offset planetary deburring head, where three Abtex fiber abrasive brushes deburr the upward-facing surface. The parts then move to a continuous parts turnover conveyor that flips them for the return trip through the brushes. After both sides of the part are deburred, it passes under a final coolant rinse, followed by an air knife to blow off excess coolant. The part then is demagnetized before exiting at an opening next to the entrance.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Viking Blast &amp; Wash Systems has announced the release of the 36 ST airless, swing-table shotblast system. The worktable is attached to the blast door, so that when the door is opened, the table swings completely clear of the cabinet for loading and unloading. An optional second door with table can be added. The table rotates while exposed to the abrasive blast, providing a uniform surface finish. The replaceable manganese-alloy steel table liner is 3/8 in. thick and 36 in. in diameter. The system uses two 5-HP, V10 blast wheels to clean parts up to 28 in. tall and 1,000 lbs. Manganese-alloy plate wear liners protect the blast cabinet in the primary blast zone opposite the blast wheels. Cast chrome liner packages also are available. Other standard features include an airwash separator for cleaning abrasive before blasting, a separator plate to provide equal distribution of abrasive, and a safety interlock to prevent opening of the blast door during operation.]]></description>
