We’ve had some great feedback from our customer who has fitted his new Easson DRO with our M-DRO 350mm (14") Magnetic Linear Encoder & Series Mini Head with 160mm (6 1/4 inch) Magnetic Tape Encoder on to his Warco WM180 Lathe Machine.

Our customer has mounted main brackets on the back to the saddle by using the mini head and has manufactured extension T-piece to the cross slide for the read head to live under. He also had to extend the splashback by 5 or 6 inches to allow for the travel of the longer cross slide. The thick rubber sheet he has laid there to make sure all the chips and oil comes back into the lathes tray, and not all over his bench behind.

The Allendale Group team are looking forward to another year of exhibiting at the London Model Engineering Exhibition on 17th – 19th January 2020. Held at London Alexandra Palace, it’s going to be a big one with over 2,000 models on display. We are excited to see the full spectrum of modelling, from traditional model engineering through to the more modern gadgets including trucks, boats, aeroplanes and helicopters, as featured on “The One Show”.

The purpose of this cleaning test was to demonstrate the cleaning method and capabilities of the ultrasonic cleaning function, accompanied by our Flux Cleaner Solution.

The Spray gun presented is contaminated with adhesive, which has settled and formed into a rubbery like substance that is stuck to the spray head, along with its components. As soon as cleaning started, the cavitation process could be seen in action, as some grime is seen lifting. At this stage, there were no visible signs of the adhesive lifting.
