Guyson Corp., Saratoga Springs, N.Y.,
announces a
robotic blast system
with
two turntables on a shuttle transfer cart
that facilitates loading and unloading
during the automated grit blasting cycle.
The RB-72 TT was designed for produc-
tion descaling and surface preparation of
components up to 66 in. in diameter and
weighing up to 4000 lb. A six-axis Fanuc
M-710iA robot is mounted on a pedestal
in a vestibule at the rear of the blasting
enclosureand isolated fromthegrit-blast
environment by a custom-tailored suit of
laminated fabric. The robot is used to di-
rect two pressure-blast nozzles attached
to the end-of-arm tooling.

15 seconds. The software included with
the system is designed so that any user
can easily perform volume measure-
ment and image rendering with easy-
to-use settings. Fine structures can be
observed by selecting a field-of-view
and resolution in the software, with a
minimum resolution of 4.5
μ
m, and the
maximum number of pixels at 8000 ×
8000.
rigaku.com/en.Kyocera Corp., developed a new series
of
hybrid cermet materials
offering
50% improvement in both abrasion and
fracture resistance over convention-
al materials used as industrial cutting
tool inserts. TN620 and PV720 cermet
grades are suitable for a wide variety of
metal cutting applications ranging from
high-speed to low-speed machining.
Materials feature a surface-hardening
hybrid structure to improve abrasion
resistance and a high-melting-point hy-
brid bonded phase to ensure high qual-
ity machining with improved surface
finish.

nounces Phenom XL, said to be the
world’s fastest
desktop SEM
to handle
large samples. It is equipped with a
chamber that, despite its small size, al-
lows analysis and full imaging of large
samples up to 100 × 100 mm. It also
features a proprietary venting/loading
mechanism that is said to ensure the
fastest vent/load cycle in the world. A
compact motorized stage enables us-
ers to scan the full sample area, yet is
small enough to fit on a standard table.
