Updated machining software

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Vericut version 8.1 CNC machine simulation, verification, and optimization software simulates CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and hybrid processes. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems.

The Vericut Force module optimizes toolpath feed rates. Graphs and charts display in real-time, revealing cutting conditions and forces. NC programmers can immediately identify undesirable cutting conditions. Spikes in the graphs show when forces, chip loads, tool deflection, and material removal rates exceed a tool’s recommended performance parameters.

Wireless infrastructure cable assemblies

A family of 36 low-passive intermodulation (PIM) jumper cables are made with UL910 plenum-rated SPP-250-LLPL cable and feature a maximum PIM level of -155dBc. Cables deliver a maximum operating frequency of 6GHz and a maximum VSWR of 1.25:1 up to 2GHz, and 1.35:1 up to 6GHz. They are offered with 4.3-10, 7/16 DIN, N, and 4.1-9.5 mini-DIN connector combinations, including right-angle connectors. Lightweight and flexible, cable assembles can operate in temperatures from -55°C to 125°C.
