the basic Type T separator meets the needs of most standard appli- cations, the Type ST, with an inte- gral trap as part of its design, is available for special applications. Its trap mechanism is a foolproof design that automatically ejects the condensate when it reaches a predetermined level without loss of line pressure. Removal of the bottom flange releases the trap mechanism for inspection. A heater is available for applica- tions below freezing. Circle 417 on reader service card

OTEC Precision Finish Inc., Acton, Mass.; www.otecusa.com The ECO-maxi is a completely new concept designed specifically to improve just-in-time cell man- ufacturing processes. Besides being able to use the traditional water/compound mixture to deburr and radius parts turned and milled on CNC machines, the ECO-maxi can easily use the same water/oil emulsion as the CNC machine itself. As it can be independent of connects and is compact, the unit can be set up anywhere in the production cell. Speed is another advantage of the machine. Typically, a perfect finish can be achieved in just 20 minutes, whereas a tumbler or

vibratory machine would take 3 to 4 hours for the same part. The ECO-maxi can also combine three types of finishing: wet grinding/polishing, dry grind- ing/polishing, and magnetic pol- ishing.
