NEXT GENERATION SLAT CLEANER FOR LASER CUTTING SYSTEMS
Until a few years ago cleaning slats required hammers and chisels, and many man-hours to complete. In fact, heavily slagged slats were often replaced at a very high expense. But not any more. The new TruTool TSC 100 slat cleaner from Trumpf makes all of that a thing of the past.
Chuck for Clamping Large Thin-Walled Parts
The ROTA NCR precision 6-jaw compensation chuck from Schunk is ideal for clamping thin-walled components and for virtually any turning application on large lathes.
ECONOMICAL REGRINDING OF CUTTING TOOLS
FC-200D and FC-500D Polycrystalline Tool Grinders from Rush Machinery are ideal for economically manufacturing and regrinding of PCD, CVD, PCBN, carbide and HSS tools. They grind angles and radii on turning and milling inserts, boring tools, milling cutters, grooving tools, reamers and special tools.
Lyndex-Nikken Partners With Mimatic® Tool Systems
Tooling manufacturerLyndex-Nikken expands its inventory of live tools with the recent addition of German products from the Mimatic Tool Systems line that are designed and manufactured to Mazak machine tool specifications.
NEW MAGNETIC WORKHOLDING FOR MACHINING CENTERS
The versatile M-TECHS SP50 and SP70 clamping systems for machining centers from Carr Lane Roemheld features one- to two-second clamping in a single operation.
TURNING DESIGNERS INTO MACHINISTS
By using a feature-based programming system from Delcam plc, metrology specialist Renishaw shortened their overall development cycle and gained more freedom to experiment with novel ideas that can be investigated more quickly and convert prototype quantities to full-scale production.
USB INPUT TOOL CONNECTS HAND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS TO PC
Transfer data values from calipers, micrometers, indicators, depth gages, height gages, bore gages, surface roughness testers, and laser scan into a PC using the new USB Input Tool Direct: USB-ITN® from Mitutoyo America.
SERVO ELECTRIC PRESS BRAKES MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION WITH 50 PERCENT LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Productive, energy efficient Safan E-Brake press brakes from COMEQ operate with low noise levels, no hydraulic oil, high accuracy and repeatability, no crowning needed, fast cycle-times and low maintenance costs.
PORTABLE VACUUM RAPIDLY HANDLES MOUNTAINS OF STEEL SHOT
Ideal for cleaning large amounts of non-dusty materials such as cast iron, steel, or aluminum chips and sludge, the 1020B industrial vacuum from VAC-U-MAX removes heavy debris in one-fifth of time of manual labor.
NEW ERA IN TOOL CLAMPING: PRECISION TOOLHOLDER WITHOUT COMPROMISE
For the first time ever, hydraulic expansion toolholders can safely transfer torques of up to 520 Nm (384 ft-lb) at a 20 mm clamping diameter and be perfectly suited for high volume cutting by using the TENDO E compact from Schunk.
QUICK FIVE-AXIS MACHINING OF ALUMINUM AEROSPACE PARTS
Makino updates the fast MAG1 horizontal machining center with advanced spindle technology for larger metal removal rates that are ideal for producing structural aerospace parts such as ribs, leading edges, and trailing edges of aircraft wing structures.
GEAR WHEEL MEASURING TECHNOLOGY MOVES INTO SMALL WORKSHOPS
With its compact DuraMax 3D coordinate measuring machine, Carl Zeiss gear wheel measuring technology can be used close to production because it is suited for process control on the production floor for quick in-between inspections of small workpieces and for testing volume parts directly in production.
