New sanding head enables simultaneous cutting and abrading
Tuesday, 24 May 2011 22:05
Blackman & White has launched a new abrading head for its Genesis and MasterCut cutting machines for use with neoprene and hypalon fabrics. The new head creates a consistent surface with high degrees of accuracy to enable faultless and reliable seams for products such as RIBs.
The new Blackman & White sanding head simply attaches to the gantry next to the cutting head to allow cutting and abrasion to be carried out automatically and simultaneously and can be used for conveyor or flatbed systems.

The UK's Light Protected Patrol Vehicle Urgent Operational Requirement required the development of a fully composite protective crew compartment (pod) that could be integrated with the full length V-Spine chassis. General Dynamics Land Systems - Force Protection Europe turned to the skills of high tech companies in the motor racing technologies area to fulfil this requirement, one being Beagle Technology Group (BTG). The result: the British designed Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicle that will soon be in-service with the British Army. |
