With the new VSM STEARATE Plus fibre disc XF733, the tried and tested VSM CERAMICS technology meets the new anti-adhesive layer STEARATE Plus. <br /><br />The end result is an innovative abrasive which makes machining of non-ferrous metals (NF metals) and aluminium considerably easier. STEARATE Plus significantly reduces chip adhesion, hence solving one of the biggest problems identified in grinding, i.e. premature clogging of the abrasive. </span><br /></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:53.464203233256%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.dclaymachinesales.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/133680218/vsm-stearate-plus-fibre-disc-xf733-grinding_orig.jpg" alt="VSM STEARATE Plus fibre disc XF733 grinding" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span>This has been demonstrated through numerous tests performed for a variety of applications at the VSM Technical Centre in Hanover.</span><br /><br /><strong>STEARATE Plus significantly reduces chip adhesion</strong><br />"NF metals such as aluminium, bronze and copper are very demanding materials, which tend to clog the abrasive prematurely", states Dennis Senning, VSM Product Manager. When that happens, chips are not removed. They accumulate on the grain tips and after some time, a built-up edge is formed.<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.dclaymachinesales.com/uploads/1/3/3/6/133680218/vsm-stearate-plus-fibre-disc-xf733_orig.jpg" alt="VSM STEARATE Plus fibre disc XF733 " style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">VSM STEARATE Plus Fibre Disc XF733 </div> </div></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><br />As a consequence, the grain is unable to cut and the abrasive becomes unusable. VSM offers a solution to this problem: "The new additional STEARATE Plus layer is the optimum solution for reducing chip adhesion and consequently clogging of the abrasive.<br /><br />This is how our STEARATE Plus fibre disc significantly enhances the service life and guarantees a reliably high stock removal rate even after a prolonged use", says Dennis Senning about the key feature of this new product.<br /></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><strong>Doubling the service life</strong><br />Field tests demonstrated that XF733 has double the service life compared to the currently leading abrasive when grinding aluminium superstructures for the automotive industry. Similar results of an increase in the service life were achieved when grinding window frames.<br /><br />And XF733 scored high in another area: The temperature in the contact area is usually extremely high. Backing materials of other products tend to warp and blister. The vulcanized fibre backing of the VSM STEARATE Plus disc, on the other hand, is extremely heat-resistant and remains fully efficient until it reaches the end of its service life.<br /></div>  <div class="wsite-youtube" style="margin-bottom:10px;margin-top:10px;"><div class="wsite-youtube-wrapper wsite-youtube-size-auto wsite-youtube-align-center"> <div class="wsite-youtube-container">  <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/S4SHYf4GhO0?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ironworker Tonnage Chart]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.dclaymachinesales.com/news/ironworker-tonnage-chart]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.dclaymachinesales.com/news/ironworker-tonnage-chart#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jan 2021 14:30:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Amada Marvel]]></category><category><![CDATA[Ironworker]]></category><category><![CDATA[Technical Data]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.dclaymachinesales.com/news/ironworker-tonnage-chart</guid><description><![CDATA[This chart is based on punching mild steel with a 65, 000 lb. shear strength.

Modern systems use hydraulic rams powered by a heavy AC electric motor. High strength carbon steel blades and dies of various shapes are used to work the metal. The machine itself is made of very heavy steel to handle the enormous force that can be generated during use.

Cylinder stroke length </span><span>is adjustable both top and bottom with two easily set limit switches. The </span><span>see-through stripper provides full view of punch for ease of alignment and operation. The stripper is also adjustable for varying thickness of material.</span><ul><li><span><strong>PUNCH DIE HOLDER</strong>: The die holder will accept standard tooling and has two hole sizes </span><span>(D and DX series only). The die holder slides in and out on two T-slots </span><span>for ease of alignment and makes tooling changeover quick and trouble-free. The overhanging feature of the die holder allows for punching channel flange</span><br /></li><li><span><strong>PUNCH TABLE:</strong> The punch table provides support for the workpiece and also incorporates a</span><span>worktable scale and an adjustable back stop for gauging. The punch work </span><span>table is segmented and the front portion can be removed for punching angle iron</span><br /></li></ul><br /><span>The various machines punch from 1/8" to 2" in diameter. Punching from 2-1/16" to 4" is achievable with usage of the oversize attachment feature. Punches and dies are easily interchangeable. Both round and shaped tools can be used in the machine.<br /><strong><br />BAR SHEARING STATION</strong><br />The round and square bar station allows for shearing various sizes. T-bar and channel shear blades are also available for this station<br /><br />With the bar shearing feature, rounds and squares can be cut from 1/8" to 2-1/8" (Larger sized holes are available on larger machines only). By changing the blades you can also cut T-bars, H-beams, and channel iron.</span><br /><br /><span><strong>FLAT BAR SHEAR</strong><br />The flat bar shear station has a cast iron support table with guides for accurate </span><span>positioning and has scribe marks at 90 and 45 degrees for miter cuts. With the </span><span>adjustable holddown and an upper blade with only a 3 degree rake angle, </span><span>deformation is held to a minimum. The lower blade has four useable sides. </span><span>A special feature of the flat bar shear is its variable degree miter-cutting on the bottom leg of the angle iron<br /><br /><strong>PLATE SHEAR</strong><br />Complete daily flat bar shearing with flat and precise results, complimented by the unique anti-distortion blade..<br /><br /><strong>ANGLE SHEAR</strong><br />The angle shear allows for both straight and miter cuts of varying sizes of angle material without a drop-out slug. The two wear guides assure the squareness of every cut, while the adjustable holdown keeps distortion to a minimum.<br /><br />The angle shearing feature allows the option to cut angle iron at 90 degrees, and smaller angle iron at 45 degrees. This feature can be done with both the top and bottom leg.<br /><br /><strong>NOTCHING</strong><br />The notcher is ideal for notching on either flat bars or angles. The gauging table </span><span>has adjustable stops for precise positioning and the safety guard is electrically </span><span>interlocked for maximum safety and visibility.<br /><br />Notching needs are met with a rectangular notching tool, standard on each machine. Marvel can provide special notching tools for a variety of desired applications.<br /><br />*Punching diameter, material diameter and thickness can change according to machine models</span><br /></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title">Optional Accessories<br /></h2>  <div class="paragraph"><span>LARGE HOLE AND SECTION PUNCHING, BENDING ATTACHMENT</span><ul><li><span>The machine has optional oversize punching attachments.
