Tungaloy Corp. is continuously expanding its TungMeister changeable-head endmill system. The latest addition involves a new line of modular heads for the TungForce-Rec indexable miniature shoulder milling cutter series.

Monster Tool says its LRNF and HPNF high-performance, solid-carbide endmill line for aluminum and nonferrous applications has been expanded into one of the largest industryofferings available with a wide range of fractional sizes from 1/8” – 1” in diameter, stub length to extra-long flute lengths, reduced necks for extended-reach applications, and corner radius assortment from 0.010" - 0.250".

Controx milling cutters are suitable for the grooving of rotary vane and turbo pump rotors and other rotors requiring precision depth and width control. Slot widths of up to 5/8” and depths to 3” are possible with or without contour in the slot base.

Marposs offers its high-accuracy Mida Diamond touch probes, which feature piezo-electric technology and are designed for 5-axis machining centers and milling machines. These probes, available in optical or radio transmission styles, provide enhanced measurement performance on 3D surfaces with repeatability within 0.25 µm and are well-suited to industries where precision requirements are pushed to the limits daily, such as die and mold, aerospace, aeronautics and biomedical.

The latest release of Edgecam software introduces a new turning cycle that includes B-axis movements while machining on a turning center. This new feature in Edgecam 2017 R2 allows greater accessibility when machining complex profiles, by dynamically positioning the insert.

All Haas Multigrind grinding centers are available with an automatic wheel changer. This feature enables Haas customers to combine multiple, high-precision, complex grinding and milling operations into a single part clamping and single machine cycle.

Select a thread mill and easily create the program code for your machine. Using Insta-Code from Allied Machine & Engineering online or offline you can create programs anytime, anywhere.

Emuge Corp. has introduced a new line of solid-carbide endmills with geometry and chipbreakers designed specifically for trochoidal milling. Emuge’s new Trochoidal endmills provide increased metal-removal rates of more than 30 percent, fewer toolpaths and longer tool life, while enabling a high axial depth of cut of up to 4XD. The Trochoidal endmill series was developed specifically for advanced milling strategies available in modern CAM software to optimize the calculation of milling paths and avoid unproductive tool motion.

Kanefusa USA Inc. says its fine-pitch-tooth PCD facemill realizes high-speed feeding and high productivity when milling aluminum surfaces. The tool offers high-quality cutting with precision sharpened edges.

Tungaloy Corp. is continuously expanding its DoFeed series. The latest addition includes inserts in grade AH8015.
