The unit is supplied with a 22-gallon rolling dust drum, and each of the dust collector's two pleated paper cartridges has a filter area of 226 square feet. The filters are treated with flame retardant and pre- coated to provide an average efficien- cy of 99.99% for particles of 0.5 micron or larger. For more informa- tion, visit www.guyson.com.

ROUND-BOWL MACHINES ALMCO, Inc. adds three models in a new line of economical round-bowl fin- ishing machines that have fewer auto- ma ted features while delivering the same performance, reliability, and efficiency.
The company's new VibeMaster Series includes the VM-3, VM-5, and VM-10 models, with tub capacities of 3, 5.3, and 10.6 cubic feet, respective- ly. The key difference between these machines and those in ALMCO's standard OR Series is manual versus automatic separation of metal parts and abrasive media at the conclusion of the deburring process.
Compact and space-saving, the high-energy VibeMasters feature an extended-screen deck and a thick, molded polyurethane-lined bowl for longer life and protection against part impingement. They also feature variable adjustable amplitude, AC variable frequency drive, and an optional economy compound pump.
Presented as an economical alterna- tive to other machines on the market, the new line is designed "for smaller, non-high-volume, non-automated shops where non-automatic, manual operating parts/media separation is acceptable," according to Larry Beavens, national sales director. All three models are currently in stock at company headquarters and ready for immediate shipment. For more infor- mation, visit www.almcoinc.com.

PRECISION FINISHING PRESSURE- BLAST SYSTEM
Guyson Corp. has introduced an expanded rotary indexing spindle- blast machine with direct-pressure media delivery and special media reclamation features to precisely control the surface roughness of components. The Model RXS-1400 blast system is adapted for produc- tion use in preparation of surfaces prior to application of advanced functional coatings.
The blast cabinet, with its wrap- around work table and vacuum return media catch-tray at the front loading station, stands 78 inches high × 94 inches wide x 102 inches deep (1.98 x 2.44 x 2.59 meters). Extra-wide vertically sliding doors allow processing of components up to approximately 20 inches (500 mm) in diameter.
Six sealed and double-shielded ball-bearing spindles are equally spaced around the circumference of the RXS-1400's rotary table. The standard weight capacity of each
spindle is 55 pounds (25 kg). A high- quality cam indexer provides extremely accurate positioning of the spindles as they move from the loading station to blast and blow-off locations in the finishing enclosure, then return to the front unload sta-
tion. The radial indexer is so exact that it is fully compatible with any type of automated loading facility, including machine-tending robots or pick-and-place devices.
A 20 cubic foot capacity pressure vessel with abrasion-resistant boron carbide grit valves meters blasting media to seven pressure-blast nozzles clustered around two blasting sta- tions in the blast chamber. Adjustably mounted at the optimum angles and distances from the components, three nozzles programmably traverse vertically at one blast station, while four nozzles traverse horizontally at the second blast station. Nozzle motion is synchronized with con- trolled, adjustable, and programma- ble rotation of the fixtured compo- nent to ensure thorough and repeat- able coverage.
Prospective users of automated blasting systems are encouraged to submit sample components for free laboratory test cleaning and applica- tion engineering evaluation at the machine builder's factory in north- eastern New York State. For more information, visit www.guyson.net.

LIGHT-CURING ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY D Y M A X has developed a new light- curing adhesive technology for indus- trial assembly processes. See-Cure technology addresses the two most often asked questions about light- curing products: How do I know I've dispensed enough adhesive? and How do I know when it is cured?
DYMAX adhesives that are formu- lated with new See-Cure technology are bright blue in color in the uncured condition. This makes them easy to see on the surface of substrates, in deep wells, or when sandwiched between two layers of materials. The blue-colored See-Cure adhesives will not permanently stain the component surfaces that they contact. Because the blue color is extremely visible, simple vision systems can be incorporated into assembly processes prior to cur- ing in order to easily dentify adhesive coverage and profile. Note: See-Cure's

NEW products blue color is only temporary. The adhesive's blue color becomes the vis- ible indicator that identifies when sufficient light energy has been pro- vided to the adhesive bond area to achieve full cure. As the adhesive cures, the blue color within the adhe- sive fades and ultimately turns clear upon full cure. Representative adhe- sives formulated with See-Cure tech- nology for use in medical device assembly were subjected to biocom- patibility testing. It was verified that the addition of DYMAX See-Cure technology has no effect on the bio- compatibility rating of the original adhesive product or on the biocom- patibility of the component surfaces.
