Users will see improvements on hole circularity and process times on small geometrically intensive parts. In line with Industry 4.0 require- ments, the processing, consumption and service data available with this control ensures transparency in all production stages. The new navigation interface provides smooth and easy job operation for all operator expertise levels, allowing production jobs to be completed quickly and accurately. Other benefits include: improved integration with remote360, expanded maintenance and help screens and larger storage for more program files. New Air Powered Motor Vises for Automated, High Precision Clamping-Kurt A representative from Kurt reports that their new line of motorized air vises provides an industry first in uti- lizing air powered motors to provide consistent preset clamping force and programmable vise opening if desired. These vises are ideal for automated, robotized cells, and applications re- quiring consistent clamping not easily attained by manual operation. Using an optional 3mm proximity sensor, the Kurt air powered motor vise is easily set to open and stop precisely at pre-configured positions. Operates on 20-100 PSI and clamps to stall. Desired clamp force is attained through an air FRL setting. The vises utilize push-to-connect air fittings for easy set-up, and mounts to tables or fixtures using sine keys and ½-inch bolts. Additional options are available for adding encoder for programmabil- ity or double start thread motor option to increase stroke speed. This air motor option is available on most Kurt vises including the all-
