Specialty Products
Thermal Spray Technologies, Booth 1366. Free samples
of wear resistant coatings. This company will provide samples and display information
on a new series of proprietary wear resistant coatings that are being used as alternatives
to hard chrome plating in protection of surfaces from extensive wear. They can possess a
hardness greater than 80 on the Rockwell C scale. In addition, the coating thickness can
be as thick as 0.040 in. for some applications. 
Wedin International Inc, Booth 342. Product design
and engineering services. This company will provide information on its complete
turnkey services -- from rapid prototyping to full production runs. The services include
machine design and manufacture, mechanical CAD support, modeling and others. The company
will also announce a boating industry breakthrough: its new patent, The Robotic Automated
Watercraft Processor #5,938,501. The design covers all aspects of manufacturing including
plugs, cutouts, welding and spraying.
Z Corporation, Booth 152. Rapid prototyping system. This
company will display information on its commercialized MIT-patented technology that
radically streamlines the process of building 3D models automatically from CAD files. The
Z402 System is an affordable 3D printer that builds parts in an office environment,
thereby providing engineers, marketers and manufacturers a means to communicate and
improve designs in three dimensions instead of on a flat screen or paper. 
Interactive Products Division - Numonics, Booth 1577. Interactive
FlipChart. The easy to use and intuitive Interactive FlipChart (IFC) is billed as the
ultimate meeting manager. The unit makes any standard paper flip chart interactive with a
connected PC. While the presenter uses the familiar paper pad format with an electronic
pen, the IFC automatically captures important meeting notes, ideas and illustrations. The
information is saved as a Windows file on a PC and can be distributed immediately or
forwarded electronically at any time.
SIFCO Selective Plating, Booth 2840. Brush plating
services. Brush plating is an out of tank process used to apply electroplated deposits
and anodized coatings onto localized areas of parts to improve the performance of select
areas. This portable plating and anodizing process is easily integrated into the
manufacturing process and offers an environmentally friendly alternative to tank plating
and anodizing. It eliminates the need to ship parts out for plating, as you can use this
process when you need it and where you need it. 
Spraying Systems Co, Booth 2026. Free passage nozzle.
The Maximum Free Passage (MPF) FullJet nozzle reportedly offers the industry's largest
free passage of any spray nozzle of its type. The nozzle's maximum liquid throughput
capability translates into consistent coating, cooling, washing and rinsing. Available in
316 stainless steel or a brass body with a 316 stainless steel vane, the nozzles feature
3/8-, 1/2-, and 3/4-in. NPT and BSPT inlet connections. Flow rates range from 1.4 gpm at
10 psi to 28.7 gpm at 80 psi. 
Sonics & Materials, Booth 2850. Spin welding
equipment. The LTR3000, 4000, and 5000 Series spin welding machines are small
footprint systems designed for bench top production. Specifically designed for plastics
assembly applications of up to 3-in. diameter, they include variable speed digital RPM
control with PLC timed power supply for maximum efficiency and control. The units include
dual anti-tie-down cycle start switches with a front-and-center emergency stop.
Tekscan, Booth 1981. Tire Footprint Measurement
System (TFPMS). TFPMS measures pressure distribution patterns, contact force and the
contact area. Applications include tire footprints, tire molds, tire bead seals, vehicle
suspension and set-up, road and runway wear. Sensors are placed between two mating
surfaces, and the accompanying electronics and software scan the sensing array and capture
the data for analysis. 
Syntex Rubber Corp, Booth 2054. Custom and standard
molded and stamped rubber products. With more than 35 years of experience in design
engineering and product prototyping, Syntex can manufacture both large and small
production runs. Materials include: neoprene, buna-N, nitrile, EPDM, SBR, silicone,
urethane and more. Die-cut gaskets are available in non-metallic materials. Its standard
products catalog contains more than 500 individual rubber parts. 
Pawling Corp, Booth 575. Custom extrusions.
Special-order profiles and fabrications can be produced by this company in a broad range
of plastic, rubber and silicone, including thermosets and thermoplastics. Tape and
hot-melt in-line adhesive applications are available. Extrusion lines range from 3/4- to
6-in. diameter. They also offer in-house tooling, color matching and CAD/CAM design.
Additional custom services include co-extrusion, cross-head extrusion, cap-stocking and
vacuum calibration.
