WIRELESS THICKNESS GAUGEDeFelsko has added Bluetoorh wire­less technology to its popularPosiTector 6000 coat ing thickness

gauge. Mem ory models allow usersto wirelessly transmit readings fromthe gauge to a Bluetoorh-cornparibledevice up to 10 m (33 feet) away.Readings do not require line-of-sightto communicate with a PC and canpass through solid objects, such aswalls.

The PosiTector 6000 is ideal formeasuring the dry film thickness ofpaint and other protective coa tings,on all metal substrates. Other fea­tures include large, impact-resistantLexan disp lay, IP5X ingress pro tec­tion, protective rubber holster, and aUSB pan for downloading readingsfrom your gauge to a PC. As always,tough probes, robust housing, and astrong warran ty make the Posi'Tector6000 the right choice for painters,platers, anodizers, powder coarers ,inspectors, and more.

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.
