Filter by Process Zone:
PIVOTING MAGNETIC WELDING ANGLE
This welding tool from Industrial Magnetics gives welders the ability to quickly and easily set up and hold steel in angles ranging from 22 deg to 270 deg with an adjustable, locking handle and marked detents every 45 deg for accuracy.
PRECISION PNEUMATIC SELF-CENTERING CLAMP
The miniature Tandem KSP+64 self centering vise from Schunk achieves a repeat accuracy of up to 0.01 mm as each jaw can stroke two mm in 0.06 seconds.
EXPANDING COLLET SYSTEMS WITH THRU-HARDENED, INTERCHANGEABLE COLLET HEADS
This patented system of expanding collets and between center arbors (mandrels) from Hardinge grip the internal diameter of a part for turning, milling, grinding, assembly, inspection and automation applications with durability for long production runs with superior surface finishes and fast collet changeover from the front.
Slotting or Gear Hobbing on One Machine
Shops no longer have to rough gears on one machine, then transfer them to another for gear hobbing. This compact system from Exsys Tool can now generate splines, spur or helical gears in one operation on a horizontal turning center.
SWISS CLAMP SYSTEM INCREASES TORQUE, SAFER TO USE
The EZR system from GenSwiss eliminates wrench slippage and loss of clamping nuts, keeps hands clear of sharp tooling, and prevents breakage of expensive ID micro-tooling.
BIG BOOK: THE INDUSTRY’S LARGEST CATALOG OF METALWORKING AND MRO SUPPLIES
As if 500,000 items in 40 product categories was not enough, this catalog from MSC Industrial Direct also features beneficial programs including next-day delivery, supply chain optimization, MRO and metalworking vending solutions and more services aimed at helping customers reduce costs.
Micro Collet System for Medical Manufacturing
This system from IBAG North America delivers accuracies of one micron TIR at the collet nose and handles up to 1/8 in tool diameter to meet the precision milling and ultra small drilling demands of ultra precision parts manufacturing.
ROTARY TABLES FOR BRIDGEPORT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS
These single-spindle, multi-spindle and tilting, dual-axis rotary tables from Hardinge increase Bridgeport VMC capabilities, with rapid part positioning and fast job changeover using the most flexible, quick-change workholding concept on the market.
MICRON PRECISION FOR DRILLING, REAMING, AND LINE BORING
The TENDOzero toolholder from Schunk is equipped with four lateral set-screws that directly affect the tool shank, the angular position of the tool is corrected and run-out is precisely adjusted to carry out tight tolerances of shape, position, and surface quality quickly and reliably.
WORKHOLDING ROTARY TABLES AND INDEXING DEVICES
These Ganro tables from CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies rotate and index small to large workpieces for manual or automated 4-axis and 5-axis vertical and horizontal applications. By accessing multiple workpiece faces in one clamping, they improve workpiece accuracy and reduce manufacturing cycle times.
COMPREHENSIVE WORKHOLDING AND MATERIAL HANDLING CATALOG
This one-stop shop from Fixtureworks includes full product lines from popular brands, including Fairlane® Products, Swivots®, Quick Release, Kipp®, Imao®, OK-Vise®, Mitee-Bite®, Modern Industries and more.
EXTENDED ADAPTERS, SHRINK-FIT ADAPTERS
Type 02 extended adapters from Exsys Tool position the tooling closer into a spindle or chuck, while their Shrink-Fit adapters deliver 100 percent clamping and connectivity around the entire tool shank diameter for holding power, rigidity and accuracy.
