IMTS 2014 - BENZ To Introduce Innovative New Products at AMB and IMTS 2014
BENZ Inc. will be presenting new products at this years AMB and IMTS tradeshows. Products on display will include the BENZ LinA push-type aggregate and the BENZ Solidfix quick change system.
Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC - BENZ Incorporated has announced that it will be presenting new tooling systems during AMB 2014, Hall H1, Stand Number IF59, in Stuttgart, Germany and IMTS Booth #2445, September 8-13, 2014, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. The company will be introducing its LinTec series of broaching tools, and Solidfix® Quick-Change system. BENZ tooling systems are engineered in Germany and sold and serviced in the US and Canada from its BENZ Inc. headquarters in Charlotte, NC.
BENZ LinTec push-type technology: Driven push-type unit for machining centers
Previously, conventional push-slotting of forms on machining centers was only possible by moving the rotational axis. All machining processes had to be programmed via the machine control in advance. Now, BENZ has transferred the success of the driven push-type unit BENZ LinA for CNC lathes to the newly developed unit for machining centers. The gearing of the push-type unit converts the rotational movement of the drive into a linear movement of the chisel. With the new LinA, operators are able to create geometric forms up to a length of 35mm on machining centers with the axial push-type unit. The product range for CNC lathes has also been expanded in keeping with the demands of the market. The new BENZ LinA long stroke allows the push slotting of deeper forms compared to the standard version LinA. This is made possible by a longer working stroke of 51mm compared to the standard version's 32mm.
15 second quick tool change with Benz Solidfix®
Driven live tools with Benz Solidfix® interface for swiss tooling. Swiss tooling applications are usually characterized by very small parts, which are produced in high quantities in multi-shift operation. Down time costs money, so manufacturers are looking for the quickest and easiest way to make tool changes. BENZ has developed tools with the modular quick-change system Benz Solidfix®in size 1. With the integrated modular quick-change system Benz Solidfix®only the adapter has to be changed while the tool holder stays on the turret. Tools can be preset outside the machine, saving the user additional time. Quick tool changes are even possible with very little room in the machine at the tool holder. Factors such as tool diversity, set-up time and precision are important in production and the Benz Solidfix®modular quick-change system addresses each need.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
