FREMONT, CA – Scientific Technologies, Inc. (STI), introduces the new "Gotcha Stick" Safe Distance Scale. This three-segment safe distance stick accurately tests the allowable barrier opening size based on the distance from the point of operation. It features English measurements on one side, and Metric measurements on the other.

Although not officially adopted by OSHA, the "Gotcha Stick" is based on data from "A Review of Machine-Guarding Recommendations," by Donald R. Vaillancourt and Stover H. Snook of the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Health & Safety. This data redefines the dimensions of the human arm for the purposes of machine guarding. The resulting new stick has been modified to include openings of less than 1/4 inch over the first 1/2 inch distance.

All drawings can be viewed or copied via PDF or DXF file formats. Several new products are highlighted, including the 6-mm brush motor, autoclaveable brushless motor and gearhead, the 200-watt EC-powermax motor, as well as two new 4-quadrant brushless motor controllers.

Del-Tron Precision, Inc. has introduced an 80-page catalog covering its comprehensive line of linear motion bearings in metric sizes. Metric versions of Del-Tron’s ball and roller slide and stage products, originally developed for European and Asian markets, have been available for years on a special order basis. Now, these linear motion devices have been compiled into a separate catalog and made available in the North American market off the shelf. All of these slides have metric threaded holes in carriage and metric counterbored holes in the base at metric center distances. The technical section of the catalog includes detailed technical information that will provide invaluable assistance in creating mechanical designs for many types of industrial equipment, instrumentation and OEM products.

Application Stories

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. --The Maxi Mill Sawing System possesses the unique ability to clamp a log after it has been fully scanned and optimally positioned for processing to achieve the maximum lumber yield possible. In 1997, pantograph arms and cord trolleys were replaced with an Energy Chain System, a combination of cables and a cable carrier to protect them. These Chainflex continuous-flex cables enable overhead carriages to receive power. The carriages, with the help of a unique end-dogging feature, facilitate the log-clamping process.
