Weiler Abrasives Group (Cresco, PA), a provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, announced the expansion of its resin fiber discs (RFDs) offering to include five new products for varying performance requirements: Tiger Ceramic, Zirc and Aluminum, and Wolverine Zirc and Aluminum Oxide. These discs are designed to provide an aggressive cut rate and a smooth finish on tool steel, aluminum and any material in between. The products are said to be ideal for heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, and surface preparation and finishing. Tiger Aluminum resin fiber discs are well-suited for grinding, blending and finishing. The discs reduce heat buildup to delay melting and prevent the disc from loading, resulting in higher cut rates, a long life and a superior finish, according to Weiler Abrasives.

Rolled out in February 2016, SS2 was officially named VSS Unity by the late Professor Stephen Hawking — famed scientist and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University (Cambridge, UK) — who spoke at the ceremony: “A man with the vision and persistence to open up space flight for ordinary, Earth-bound citizens, Richard Branson made it his mission to make space flight a reality for those intrepid enough to venture beyond the boundaries of the Earth’s atmosphere. … I would be very proud to fly on this spaceship. Space exploration has already been a great unifier — we seem able to cooperate between nations in space in a way we can only envy on Earth. We are entering a new space age and I hope this will help to create a new unity.”

Right after printing and while the label is still on the web, a Systech vision system checks to see that each 2D code is correct, that the GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number) is correct, and that the human-readable text is all legible. If anything is inaccurate or sub-par, that bottle is rejected. The Systech software also keeps careful track of all the unique codes commissioned or, in the event a bottle has to be rejected, decommissioned during production of the entire lot.
