Memory models allow users to wirelessly t ransmit readings from the gauge to a Bluetoorh-cornparible device up to 10 m (33 feet) away. Readings do not require line-of-sight to commun icate with a PC and can pass through solid objects, such as walls. Th e PosiTector 6000 is ideal for measuring the dry film thickness of paint and othe r protective coatings, on all metal substrates. Other fea- tures include large, impact-resistant Lexan disp lay, IP5X ingress pro tec- tion, protective rubber holster, and a USB pan for downloadi ng readings from your gauge to a PC. As always, tough probes, robust housing, and a strong warranty make the Posi'Tector 6000 the right choice for painters, platers, anodizers, powder coarers, inspectors, a nd more.

PPG's new vacu- um meralized coating system repre- sents a significant advance in the industry because VIVATI VM coat- ings offer the first integrated system from a si ngle supplier. As a single-source coating system, VIVATI VM coatings enable manu- fac ture rs to more effectively manage rhe vac uum mera lizing process. Because the primer, base, and clear coats all come from one sup plier, they work together for performance and appl icat ion and give manufac- t ur ers a larger operating window with fewer mistakes and higher pro- duction output. VIVATI VM coatings by PPG are part of a collection of highly chromatic coa tin gs, incl udi ng VIVATI HC coatings, PPG's break- thro ugh high chroma transparent powder coat ings. All VIVATI Collec tion coatings feature vibrant co lor depth, superior durability, and unsurpassed transparency. For more informat ion, call (414) 758-7312 or visit www.industrial-coatings .com .

VACUUM METALIZEDCOATING SYSTEMPPG Industries has launched itsVIVATI VM coatings, a highly chromatic, h igh-performance vacuum
metali zed coating system that delivers a new level of vibran t color tocons umer products. PPG's new vacuum meralized coa ting system repre sen ts a significant advance in theindustry becau se VIVATI VM coatings offer the firs t integrated systemfrom a single supplier.
As a single -source coating system,VIVATI VM coatings enable man ufacturers to more effectively managerhe vacuum meralizing process.Becau se the primer, base, and clearcoats all come from one supplier,th ey work toge ther for performanceand applicat ion and give manufacturers a larger operating windowwith fewer mistakes and higher production output. VIVATI VM coatingsby PPG are part of a collection ofhighly chromatic coa tings, incl udi ngVIVATI HC coati ngs, PPG's breakthrough high chroma transparentpowder coatings.

HARD-CHROME HONINGSunnen's new TC tool is customengineered for honing small, twostro ke cycle engine cylinders to overcome characteristic production challenges, including blind, paned, andtapered bores, and hard surface coatings, such as Nikasil and chrome
plating. Pro ven in production bymajor OEMs in Sunnen and ot hermanufacturers' machines, the TCtool eas ily produces fractionalmic ron (0.000040-inch) accuraciesand spec ific surface fin ish es forin creased powe r production, fue lefficiency, red uced emissions, andengine dur abili ty.
Equipped with metal-bon dsuperabrasives, TC tools use cus tomized abrasive mounting thatholds up to a dozen stone segmentsof various lengths. St rat egic placement of th e abrasives produces su perior roundness an d a consis tent fin ish from to p to bottom in blindbores . Each tool is tuned to the application based on length and numberof abrasives, allowi ng th e tool tobridge across ports an d minimizingwashout of the port edges to mainta in ring seal for increased power andengine life. Honing with the TC toolis an ideal process for small-engineOEMs striving to meet the 2011 EPAstandards for two-cycle engines, pro du cing precise bore geometty, andsurface finish with the consistencyneeded for mass production.
