PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

Bring on the Heat
Bunting® Magnetics Co. has created a new High Temperature Machine-Mounted All-Metal Separator (MMS). This metal detection product, which can handle temperatures up to 350° degrees, works on applications within the plastics industry by mounting on the throat of extruders, injection and blow molders.

The High-Temp MMS provides efficient rejection of both ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants and is designed especially for choke-feed applications where the product is at a higher than normal temperature. It bolts directly to the in-feed of processing equipment and supports the weight of hoppers and other auxiliary equipment.

HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
Electro-Permanent Magnetic Clamping System
MORRISVILLE, NC: SCHUNK Inc. is expanding its workholding product range with several new lines of magnetic clamping. The new lines include a complete line of permanent and electro permanent grinding and EDM magnets, bipolar magnets for holding round bars to cut Key-Ways and Whip Stocks and Radial magnets for VTL's to hold rings, as well as other magnets for special applications. With MAGNOS, SCHUNK relies on the innovative technology of electro-permanent magnets, which require only a short pulse of electricity to activate and deactivate the magnetic field. A uniform clamping force is possible thanks to the poles' quadratic geometry. Reliable clamping, even during rough machining, is ensured by the high holding forces of the magnets. Different pole sizes of 32, 50, 75, and 100 mm are available, enabling the holding forces to be tailored to individual requirements. --- Schunk Inc.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
25% of Companies Plan to Increase Hiring
In a survey of manufacturing CFOs and senior comptrollers conducted by Grant Thornton LLP, the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd, only 25 percent say their company will increase hiring in the next six months and more than half (57%) plan to reduce bonuses. At the same time, more than half (54%) believe the U.S. economy will improve during the same time period, making manufacturing slightly more optimistic than other industries. One-third (34%) are reducing health care benefits and more than a quarter (28%) are reducing 401(k) matches. In terms of pricing pressure, they are most concerned about the cost of employee benefits (74%), such as health care and pension costs. Not surprisingly, the second greatest concern is the cost of raw materials. "Most of our clients are telling us that they have hit bottom and are now seeing an uptick in their orders," said Walter Gruenes, Grant Thornton LLP National Managing Partner of Consumer and Industrial Products. "In the short term, those manufacturers serving the food/beverage, aerospace and chemical sectors are most optimistic, while those serving the automotive, industrial equipment and housing/construction sectors are least optimistic. Over the next five years the machinery, chemicals, aerospace, food/beverage and metals sectors are expected to experience the largest employment gains."
