Implanting Success

Maximize Productivity, Maintain a Clean Work Area
The GRINDER GUARD and GRIT-GRABBER Dust Collection System is designed for use with virtually all grinders and buffers. The universal design offers significant advantages in minimizing the hazards and debris associated with bench and pedestal 5" to 12" diameter grinders and buffers.

The GRIT-GRABBER is a combination dust collector and pedestal equipped with a heavy-duty sealed bearing motor, with a CFM exhaust level exceeding OSHA’s minimum, to capture the debris quietly. The easily replaced or cleaned collection filter is made up of three grades of treated, flame-retardant filter material to offer maximum performance and reduction in the amount of dust and grit discharged into the work area. An aluminum mesh screen spark arrestor is included and sits on top of the filter.

The GRINDER GUARD has a full length light with a tamper-resistant shield. It is designed to mount underneath the base of the grinder to eliminate the ability for the operator to remove it. The 24" light- and chip-resistant polycarbonate shield increases operator safety and visibility. Complete systems with BALDOR Grinders are also available.

Specialized 5-Axis Features
With the planned release of GibbsCAM 2013, Gibbs will incorporate new, powerful features with an easy-to-use interface. Key new features and enhancements are:

• Improved support for Swiss-style machining – Rendering for tool path verification and simulation will now include guide bushings.
• Mill feature – Assigning certain machining attributes directly to part features allows users to save and reuse knowledge-based machining information.
• Surface flow – Improved machining strategies for solids machining include an improved algorithm to handle most non-planar fillets and other blended faces.
• Profiler modes – The profiler, frequently used to inspect part models, find hidden features and develop cross sections for turning or milling.
• Drilling and thread milling patterns – Users will be able to place drilling and thread milling in patterns.
• Lathe threading and thread whirling – Users will be able to define lathe threads from any valid shape, including shapes that contain arcs or splines.

Stainless Steel Quarter-Turn Fastener
The stainless steel DZUS D8 PANEX quarter-turn fastener delivers the same quick access and fast installation as the standard D8, but enables dependable, vibration-resistant fastening in harsh environments where heat and corrosion may affect operation.

The durable, formed stainless steel construction of the DZUS D8 provides aesthetic appeal as well as increased total material thickness (TMT) tolerance for robust fastening. It is available in size 6 with slotted, hex, and Phillips-recessed head styles, and complementary mini clip-on and rivet-on receptacle options. The stainless steel DZUS D8 is compatible with a variety of installation needs.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
The Blackstone-NEY CleanVeyor Ultrasonic parts washer utilizes a combination of spray, immersion, and ultrasonic cleaning technologies. Parts with complex and internal geometries that need final cleaning prior to assembly are ideal candidates. This cleaning process has proven to significantly reduce or eliminate warranty-related failures that would be attributed to inadequate part cleaning. The CleanVeyor is modular so that more stages can be added as needed.

The CleanVeyor is available in three models: the CLV -8, CLV-16, and the CLV-24 and has a parts capacity from 600 to 1,800 per hour. The CLV-8 comes standard with a single-lane conveyor, the CLV-16 has a two-lane conveyor, and the CLV-25 has a three-lane conveyor.
