Structural shims

Glazelock Shims Inc. has been a manufacturer of structural plastic shims since 1997. The company was invented by a window installer and aims to develop shims that reduce material and labor costs, while being secure and stable. During the show, the company will promote its pre-scored shims that are easier to break off than traditional wood shims. The shims eliminate the need to cut or to score and are an inexpensive option for companies.

This Better Vacuum Cup comes in three standard heights such as 105 millimeters, 150 mm and 200 mm for the CMS fabricators. Like all BVC cups, this cup does not need the foam gasket to be used. The BVC flexible lip seal mirrors the part for a perfect lip seal, say officials.

Waterjet Pumps

Hypertherm, a U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, changed the name for its HyPrecision and Echion waterjet pumps. It is rebranding intensifier-based pumps as DynaMAX to unify the naming of its products. In addition to the new DynaMAX name, systems will now begin with a 3 or 5 depending upon the performance, features or technology of a particular model. This prefix will be followed by the horsepower number and, for pumps engineered with Hypertherm’s patented predictive technology, a “P” suffix.
