Back

Fairport, N.Y. - January 14, 2005 - Presetting, driven & static, workholding and toolholding product lines will all be demonstrated at Parlec’s booth (#3912) during this year’s WESTEC show, taking place April 4-7 in Los Angeles, Calif. A special shrink fit demonstration will highlight the company’s toolholding capabilities. Parlec will be showcasing a variety of new products at this year’s show. Toolholding Product Manager, Dave Hartman, will also be demonstrating the company’s shrink fit capabilities on Tues. April 4, at 10:45 a.m. in the Technology Theatre.

Hartman will discuss and demonstrate the best practices for shrink fit technology. His discussion will focus on how the technology provides an advantage over traditional holding methods while dispelling some common myths on the topic.

As Parlec’s newest product line, the driven & static line is targeted towards the entire driven tooling market while also offering custom built tools for major lathe manufacturers such as Mazak, Nakamura, Citizen, HAAS, Romi and Daewoo. The line, which unveiled a variety of products in 2004, with many more planned for 2005, will be a prominent part of the company’s display at WESTEC.

"Our driven and static products all offer the latest advances in gear, bearing and seal technology," commented Bob Nuccitelli, driven & static and workholding product manager. "At this year’s WESTEC show we’ll have our latest products on display, including both external and internal coolant type tools. With this product launch, Parlec will be the only manufacturer currently building these tools in the U.S."

The Series 975 and 2500 TMM Parsetter will also be a main focus of Parlec’s display. Released in 2004, Parlec’s flagship machine, the 2500 TMM, can be configured to handle small tools or those up to 1,000 mm (40") in length and 950 mm (38") in diameter. Parlec’s latest presetting advancement offers a machine with ergonomics, a thermally stable mass, compact footprint and motorized positioning into an expandable and modular system that, according to the company, is the most accurate and repeatable tool measuring machine in the world.

Additional products on display at WESTEC this year for Parlec will be those in the company’s workholding line. The PWS-6900 vise, with the largest jaw opening in its class (nine inches), will be available for demonstration. This vise has an angle-lock design to prevent lifting of the movable jaw, with a bed height matched to size 2.875" (73.025mm) +/- 0.0005" with repeatability within 0.001.

"We’ve improved industry standards with the PWS-6900," stated Nuccitelli. "This vise provides a more rigid stationary jaw and robust main screw that can handle higher torque loads than current vises in the marketplace."
