Mollificio Lombardo SpA – Italy Fax : +39 035 794163 Email : molle@molle.com Website : www.mollificio.lombardo.molle.com OEM panel-mounted spring gauge Quickly following the release of its new Tiger spring gauge, Larson Systems has announced the introduction of the Tiger CNC, believed to be the first OEM panel-mounted spring gauge. Measuring just 3.5" x 7" x 1.4" deep and weighing a mere 0.99lb (0.45kg) the Tiger CNC mounts directly onto the control panel of a spring coiling machine. The digital gauge allows spring manufacturers to sort springs directly through the coiler’s electronics – a separate computer interface is not required. The Tiger CNC is available with two software packages, Tiger and Super Tiger, which give it comparable func- tionality to Larson’s Lynx or Panther gauges.  

Typical products from Mollificio Lombardo ❍ ❍

Cold formers for straight and bent parts Videx is offering a new line of single or multiple die hand-feed cold formers. The machines are designed for the production of small and medium sized batches of long headed, shouldered or extruded parts either straight or bent. The Videx cold formers are available with one, two or three heading stations and in tonnage ratings from 50 tons to 300 tons. A threading station is optional on all models. The feed of the parts is done either from the front (for straight parts) or from the side for bent parts that need to be collated or headed close to the bend.

Designed to be faster than previous gauges, the Tiger CNC uses standard LION protocol setups and techniques and is compatible with all LSI probes and sorters. Larson Systems Inc – USA Fax : +1 763 780 2182 Email : info@larsonsystems.com Website : www.larsonsystems.com

The machines are designed for quick and simple changeover. The whole gripper die block lifts up pneumatically and die change can be performed outside the machine. The heading tools are reachable from the side and can be changed in a couple of minutes. The position of the blank is precise, due to the retractable positive stop, and the stroke is fully adjustable by turning a wheel at the back of the machine. When supplied as a fully automatic machine, the machine will also straighten, cut to length and optionally thread the parts and bend them.
