AFC CABLE SYSTEMS, NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
Electrical product manufacturer AFC Cable
Systems has released the MC Luminary HCF cables, a
new addition to AFC’s line of MC Luminary metal-clad cables.
The cables combine electric lighting and control circuits under an
interlocked armor and is approved for use in patient-care areas. A dual
grounding path featuring a combined armor and full-sized aluminum
ground/bonding conductor enhances safety. The new lighting control
wire design responds to increasing use of solid state LED and fluorescent
lighting fixtures in healthcare. MC Luminary HCF cables can be surface-mounted, fished, or embedded in plaster, while parallel bonding/grounding
conductor enables faster termination.

WIDIA, LATROBE, PA.
Widia’s new Top Ream
design solution uses a
single carbide disc and
brazed joint. With a strong connection it is virtually immune to thermal effects during
machining operations. As the use of additive manufacturing and other near net-shape
processes continue to grow, so too will the need for accurate, cost-effective hole-finishing. Widia’s WU05PR advanced reaming grade was developed specifically for the
demanding tool wear and surface finish requirements encountered in most hole-reaming
operations. The Top Ream features custom geometries, diameters, and edge preps, all
available in three weeks or less. The Top Ream’s design is geared towards anyone who
needs fine hole finishes and high productivity rates, whether it’s a Tier 1 automotive
company or the small job shop down the street.
