Introduces Pneumatic Portable Hand Beveling Tools.
Saar-Hartmetall
USA introduces the SMA-P Series of pneumatic portable
edge-milling tools to the North American market. The SMA-P Series
portable pneumatic edge-milling tools utilize indexable carbide inserts to mill
a variety of carbon-based steel including structural steel and allow the
operator infinite depth of cut up to 40 mm (specialized applications required
for cut depth beyond 15 mm) while employing a pre-set milling angle.
In addition, new insert holders
extend the range of bevel from 10 to 80 degrees, and radius edges up to 15mm.
Please contact
C&G's
sales department at sales@cgsystems.com
for complete information or to arrange a demonstration.

C&G
Systems Installs New Taurus Cutting System.
C&G has just completed the installation of a new 10' x 18'
Taurus
Cutting System. This new system is equipped with a Burny 10 LCD+
CNC
controller, an Inova torch height control system, a
Kaliburn Spirit 400a precision plasma
system, and a Pihl zoned downdraft table. This unit increases
C&G's internal cutting
capacity and allows
C&G to demonstrate and train on a turn-key
Burny/Kaliburn system capable of production cutting up to 2" (50mm)
thick mild steel. Please contact
C&G's sales department at
sales@cgsystems.com to arrange for a
demonstration or to receive cut samples.

C&G
Systems takes delivery of new 6' x 12' CNC Machining Center.
C&G has just taken delivery of a new Haas GR-712
Gantry CNC Vertical Machining Center. This machine has an effective
machining area of 6' x12' x 24". The system was purchased as part of C&G's
efforts to continue to reduce lead times on its equipment. In the last 12
months,
C&G has reduced lead times on most machines from 10-14 weeks to
4-6 weeks. This system will allow larger parts to be machined in fewer
setups reducing manufacturing time and improving the accuracy and quality of the
components.
10/05/2008: Hypertherm
Unveils its new HPR-400XD Precision Plasma Cutting System at FabTech in Las
Vegas.
Hypertherm unveiled
their new
HPR-400XD Precision Plasma Cutting System at a special
dealer reception held prior to the open of FabTech 2008 in Las Vegas.
This new 30-400 amp unit features Power-Pierce
shield technology. It is capable of performing a standing pierce in 2" mild steel,
and features a new liquid cooled torch design that keeps the electrode and
torch components cool, significantly improving consumables life.
This
new HyPerformance system has demonstrated the ability to achieve more than 300 pierces and
cutting speeds in excess of 30 ipm in 2" mild steel. It is also
rated to cut up to 3.2" (80mm) thick material with an edge start. In
addition, Hypertherm has a dry H35 process up to 400 amps for
cutting thick stainless steel and aluminum.
C&G
Systems looks forward to adding one of these impressive units to
its demonstration lab when it becomes available later this year.
Please contact
C&G's
sales department at
sales@cgsystems.com for more information.

C&G
Systems takes delivery of a new Kaliburn Spirit 400a
Precision Plasma Cutting System.
C&G
Systems has taken delivery of the newest addition to the
Kaliburn line-up. The
Kaliburn Spirit 400a is an industry
first 400 amp precision plasma cutting system providing the greatest thickness
capacity and highest processing speeds in the industry. The Spirit 400a
is also equipped with an automatic gas console, just select material and
thickness and your gas pressures and amperages are set automatically.
With a power range of 30-400 amps, it provides the flexibility needed to cut
everything from your finest to your thickest parts. Utilizing HOT
(Hafnium Optimizing Technology), the Spirit 400a also offers
exceptional consumable life.

will be installed on one of
C&G's
in-house demonstration machines and sample cuts will be available by the end
of the month. Please contact
C&G's
sales department (sales@cgsystems.com)
to make arrangements for a demonstration and to have your samples cut.
We are sure you will be as impressed as we have been!
08/08/2008: Hypertherm
Launches SilverPlus® Oxygen Electrodes on HPR 130 and 260 Systems for North
America.
Hypertherm is launching three new
SilverPlus electrodes designed to operate at 130, 200, and 260 amps on the HPR
130 and HPR 260 systems. These SilverPlus electrodes incorporate
patented technology that doubles the life over standard copper electrodes.
SilverPlus technology involves fusing a silver front-end onto a copper base.
Silver dissipates heat better than copper, thereby allowing the hafnium to
burn slower and deeper into the electrode. This property gives
SilverPlus its dramatically longer life.
07/23/2008: Burny Training
Another
Big Hit With Customers
C&G
Systems, in conjunction with its OEM partner
Cleveland Motion Controls, conducted their second in-house training session on
Burny CNC Controls. Attendees included customers,

live demonstrations, as well as basic set-up and troubleshooting techniques.
Customers ranged from 6-month experience, recent installations, and new
customers preparing to take delivery of their first new
C&G
Systems machine. Users had the opportunity to learn more about the
inner-workings of their system, troubleshooting techniques, and interface with
Burny technical representatives about issues they have
encountered in the field.
Because of an overwhelming demand
for this seminar from customers,
C&G and Burny are in the process of
scheduling another 2-day seminar in late October or early November. We
hope to be able to accommodate everyone that wishes to attend and will conduct
two back-to-back programs if necessary. A DVD version of this training
is being put together as a refresher for
attendees and for those customers unable to attend in person. Please contact
C&G's
service department (service@cgsystems.com)
for more information and register early for the upcoming course.
