Rotomark Rotary Table Laser Marking System Designed for both Production and Single Item Laser Marking Applications
Isotech is now offering the Lasit Rotomark rotary table laser marking system designed for industrial marking solutions of both large quantities and single items. The Rotomark laser marking system allows users to both load and unload product while marking. Increased production is possible by adding the optional X and/or Y axis to accommodate large pallets while using the rotary table function.
“Other standard rotary type laser marking systems have several disadvantages,” said Casillo. “They can be difficult to setup and cannot be easily changed to accommodate the processing of single parts once a production run has begun. In fact, with other laser marking machines, it is nearly impossible for the operator to see into the marking area because of the rotary table.” Continue reading
Graphite Molds Produce ZA-12 Zinc-Aluminum Components at Lower Costs, Faster Turn-Around Times than Alternative Metal Casting Methods
Isotech, Inc. Partners with Graphicast to Offer Zinc Aluminum Alloy OE Parts Manufacturing and Prototyping
The Graphicast casting process uses graphite molds to produce parts from ZA-12, a zinc-aluminum alloy which physical properties are stronger, harder, and more durable than aluminum, brass, bronze, or plastic. The use of graphite for the casting molds is less expensive than die casting or injection molding due to the lower cost of graphite. In addition, graphite offers exceptional machinability which shortens the mold-making process and overall production timelines.
Isotech Offers New Frictionless Air Bearing Cylinders for High-Precision Positioning Applications
The new AB Air Cylinder, offered by Isotech Inc., uses a technology called force without friction, which is made possible through the use of a zero friction bearing piston. Friction is reduced by a factor of 1000 as compared to other low-friction air cylinders. The air cylinder uses pressurized air to create a true air bearing effect around the cylinder’s piston. This air cylinder is for high precision linear motion and positioning applications where friction, contamination, wear, and temperature vulnerability is of prime concern. Continue reading
