innovations

A major partner covering all industries for nearly 30 years, Stäubli Robotics has developed a high-speed machining robot, the RX170 HSM (high-speed machining). The robot’s main features include a high-speed spindle integrated into the robot arm for additional rigidity and specific VAL HSM software developed to manage machining parameters and allow interfacing with CAD/CAM software. The RX170 HSM can be fitted with high-speed spindles from 8 to 17 kW with speeds up to 40,000 rpm. Automatic tool changers can also be added. The robot can handle machining and contouring operations on all types of materials, including all composites (glass, carbon, etc.). Stäubli is an international group with a presence in more than 25 countries around the world. The mechatronics solution provider has three dedicated branches: quality systems for the weaving industry, quick-connector systems and industrial robots. www.staubli.com

Polyprocess develops a full system of efficient products, and has succeeded in boosting their performance by optimizing or developing specific features of the different complementary chemical compounds in its formulations. The system consists of: (1)Polyfiller, a lightweight primer for wood, metal or polyester substrates that cures rapidly, is nonporous, and sands easily; (2) Polygloss, for application with a cup spraygun – a non-tacky, paraffinfree high-gloss topcoat. It spreads perfectly, is sandable and easily polished to achieve exceptional gloss; (3) a vinylester gelcoat formulated on a resin with high elongation, good chemical resistance and thermal strength (HDT at 145°C), and high impact strength; (4) a urethane-modified epoxy vinylester resin of the bisphenol A type which is used with a low-tex powder mat to obtain optimal adherence with the gelcoat, improve mould thermal strength over time and enhance the surface aspect; (5) a Polymold non-shrink one-shot tooling resin with high wettability. www.polyprocess.fr
