      <description><![CDATA[Sugino Corp. has introduced portable pneumatic drilling units designed for the aerospace industry. The Pneucon Selfeeder&amp;trade; is designed to provide less than 0.0006-in. T.I.R. and 0.0008-in. repeatability on depths.The prototype units incorporate a requested design feature from the company's field-tested double hydro-speed regulator technology, which produces fine holes without burrs. The rapid approach of the drill is slowed when the primary control feed rate regulator is engaged before entering the part. As the drill approaches its preset depth, the secondary control feed rate regulator further slows the drilling unit to almost eliminate burrs on breakthrough.]]></description>

A Maxima&amp;trade; coating is available. Two types of punch insert holders are available: one that includes an integral alignment ring for fast setup, and a second that requires a heavy-duty alignment ring to allow manual angle setting flexibility. The holders work with conventional machine strippers.Die inserts are available in five standard inch and metric sizes and with 11 discrete die clearances. They are assembled into one of two die insert holders: one for the 2.2-in.-long inserts and one for the 3-in. inserts.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Salvagnini America has introduced a new generation of its S4 punching and shearing machine, the S4X.The S4X features a completely redesigned manipulator powered by two pairs of rotary electric motors. The first pair employes rack and pinion kinematics driven by new handovercontrol logic. The second pair uses two ball-bearing screws directed by gantry control logic to position the sheet. This manipulator enables the machine to offer enhanced processing speed, reduced cycle times, increased productivity, and improved accuracy.The new model retains the company's patented stationary, multipress head that eliminates the in-cycle stops for tool changes that limit turret press processing speeds. All of the machines 96 punching tool stations are live and ready to simultaneously punch, countersink, and emboss parts.Beneath the fascia of the multipress head is a built-in shear that can make cuts of any length.Other upgrades include a new hydraulic power pack designed to reduce power consumption by 30 percent, an optional Cartesian stacker, and the expanded ability to incorporate all types of feeding connections.]]></description>
