The L. S. Starrett Company will have two stands at this year’s Mach show, reflecting the company’s developing product ranges and continued commitment to the UK market.
In the metrology zone, stand 5950 will show the latest enhancements to our range of optical profile projectors and video measuring systems, including the introduction of LED lighting on all our profile projectors. Benefits from this change include an improvement to the quality of light, a predicted increase in service intervals from one year to approximately five years as a result of the change in bulb type, and a reduction in energy consumption, creating considerable savings in energy costs over the life of the projector. In addition, the heat generated by the LED bulb is a small fraction of that generated by a traditional bulb, making the projector much cooler, particularly after a period of continuous use.
In Hall 4, Stand 4314 is in the heart of the band saw section of the show and will be showing the very latest in Starrett band saw machines and blades. New to the band saw machine range is the S1005 portable band saw machine. This is an ideal tool for any tradesmen, maintenance engineer and workshop, offering light weight and consistent high quality performance. The machine is supplied with the Univerz blade from Starrett, designed specifically to cope with the fatigue stresses caused by the small band wheels used in small portable band saw machines.
At the other end of the range, the S4240 semi automatic band saw machine has a cutting capacity of 300mm x 300mm and will mitre cut up to 75o and -45o. Its rigid construction ensures that this machine can offer a smooth, controlled cutting speed with hydraulic feed pressure. All the machines on the stand will be operational, conducting cutting demonstrations throughout the course of the exhibition.
Starrett Advanz MC5 and MC7 are the latest additions to the Starrett Carbide Tipped band saw blade range, and feature two unique tooth profiles that form either five or seven chips. Advanz MC5 is ideal for tool steels, inconel and titanium and MC5 is ideal for automotive aluminium casting blocks, cast iron, bronze and copper.
