VERTICAL CNC HONING SYSTEM PRODUCES CONSTANT CROSSHATCH WITH AUTOMATED BORE GEOMETRY CORRECTION
Sunnen’s SV-500 vertical CNC honing system is the world’s first to offer three-axis servo control of spindle rotation, stroke and tool feed, allowing the machine to produce a whole-bore, constant crosshatch angle to meet the latest requirements for diesel/gasoline engines, cylinder liners, mud pump liners, hydraulic blocks, and similar large parts or MilSpec programs.
ROBOT FOR SUPERHARSH ENVIRONMENTS
FANUC Robotics America offers the M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO robot, which is IP67 protected for operation in the harshest environments. The entire robot is coated with a special epoxy, and the wrist has protective covers to withstand high-pressure washing.
INNOVATIVE LASER MARKING SYSTEM
TRUMPF offers the TruMark Series 6000 laser marking system. The TruMark Series 6000 features the latest in laser marking technology for medical, automotive, and other highly demanding applications. With exceptional mark quality and speed, the Nd-YVO4 (Vanadate) based diode pumped laser of the TruMark Series 6000 is the first of the new TruMark product line for TRUMPF.
NO MACHINE IS AN ISLAND
Six Degrees of Separation: If you haven’t already heard all the buzz about MTConnect, hang on, because you will soon. Here are some FAQs – and a lot of the detail – behind the architecture that will eventually shrink the world and change the way you do business.
KICK UP THE VOLUME
Golden Opportunities: One school of thought once said that CNC machine tools would eventually replace broaching systems. Not anymore. One broach can make the same quantity that it takes 10 machining centers to produce. That opens doors into new markets beyond automotive, such as medical, alternative energy and aerospace. Check this out.
THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
When is a machine tool used for longer running jobs the best choice for small lot sizes and short lead times? This manufacturer of test probes found the answer.
BEYOND 2 + 4
More Than Two Does Make Sense: This new concept in multi-spindle machining promises to revolutionize the way you do business.
MILLING CUTTER POWERS IMPROVED AEROSPACE PRODUCTIVITY
Kennametal’s Z-Plunge? milling cutter is designed for aerospace, die and mold, and general engineering applications. With a unique design for increased chip evacuation that is superior for slotting operations, the new milling cutter can increase productivity by up to 30 percent.
HIGH-VISIBILITY, FOAMING ACTION CUTTING FLUID
Tap Magic offers Tap Magic Xtra-Foamy, an extreme performance, high visibility cutting fluid that delivers superior results. It is especially effective on hard-to-machine metals such as high-nickel alloys, inconel, titanium, stainless and other hard metals up to 45 RC.
METALWORKING FLUIDS EXTEND MACHINE TOOL LIFE AND PREVENT CORROSION
Chevron Products Company, offers its line of industrial lubricants. The products, Chevron HiPerCUT and Texaco Aquatex, offer extended machine tool life and corrosion protection in a bio-stable emulsion.
SOLUBLE OIL FOR DIFFICULT MACHINING AND GRINDING
Tower Oil’s TOWERSOL 345 is a soluble oil developed for use on many of the most difficult machining and grinding operations. When mixed with water it forms a stable emulsion in both hard and soft water.
WATER MIXABLE FLUIDS MEET RIGOROUS MACHINING DEMANDS
Shell water mixable metalworking fluids are designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s manufacturing operations and address common concerns such as tool life, surface finish, coolant odor and dermatitis.
