The BA W06-22 from SW North America is a twin-spindle horizontal machining center built for large, lightweight parts made from aluminum and non-ferrous materials. With a work envelope of 600 x 900 x 650 mm, the machine is well-suited for machining battery trays, aerospace structures, and agricultural components with demanding tolerances and surface finish requirements.

The Emuge EvoGrip from Emuge-Franken USA is a modular workholding solution that includes its first standard high-performance centering vise system. The company says the EcoGrip is designed to deliver maximum clamping force and full 5-Axis access in a compact solution setup making it ideal for aggressive milling operations. Three basic vise widths include 70 mm, 100 mm, and 120mm, and EvoGrip offers 25kN, 50kN and an exceptionally high 75kN clamping force.

A new line of coolant tubes and wrenches from T.J. Davies Co., Inc. has been specifically designed for HSK tool holders. The products are made of 8620 alloy steel, ensuring a long service life. Each component is machined in-house and equipped with two identical seals that allow for slight angular movement.

Ceratizit USA Inc. says it redesigned its MonsterMill – ISO-S line of milling cutters to provide manufacturers efficient cutting, long tool life, and excellent surface finishes when milling nickel- and titanium-based alloys. In addition to its 4- and 5-flute cutters, the MonsterMill – ISO-S line now includes a 6-flute cutter for superior surface finishes that reduce secondary operations.

Fast-Trac Jaw Nuts from Dillon Manufacturing allow user to preassemble the jaws required for the next operation while the machine is running the current job, cutting jaw change time in half.

The AH3225 PVD-coated grade tooling from Tungaloy Corporation is now available across a wider range of milling tools including high-feed cutters (MillQuadFeed), face milling cutters (DoOcto), shoulder milling cutters (TungTriShred), and ISO insert geometries such as SDKN42 and TEEN32.

Grob Systems Inc. says its G550T 5-axis mill-turn universal machining center provides the greatest possible positioning flexibility due to the axes’ large swivel range (230ﹾ in the A’-axis and 360ﹾ in the B’-axis). A horizontal spindle position permits the longest possible Z-travel path and optimum chip fall, the company adds.

The GROB G150 5-Axis Universal Machining Center from Grob Systems Inc. is the company's smallest horizontal machining center in its modular G-series Universal line. According to the company, the G150 provides high precision, complex machining in a compact size with a smaller work envelope. Featuring direct and absolute position encoders in all axes and an innovative machine cooling process, the machining center provides exceptional contouring accuracy.

The APS 138 E and APS 138 I zero-point clamping modules from SMW Autoblok are engineered to deliver <0.005 mm repeatability, maximum rigidity, and universal interface compatibility across nearly all zero-point systems currently in the market.

The powRgrip (PG) 48 toolholding system from Rego-Fix USA is suited for large-diameter tools and aggressive machining. For cutters up to 40mm (1.500") in diameter, the company says the PG 48 holder ensures concentricity and total indicated runout (TIR) with deviations of less than 3 µm (0.0001") for tool lengths up to 3 x diameter and length pre-adjustment with a repeat accuracy of less than 10 µm (0.0004").

For high-speed and high-precision turning in a space-saving design, the Mazak Corp. QTE-100 CNC turning center with a 6" chuck can process parts up to 11.42" in diameter. The QTE-100 features a built-in motor spindle designed to deliver high torque, even at low speeds, for enhanced cutting capacity.

Offered in both Machinable and RockLock tombstones, the expanded line of tombstones from 5th Axis Inc. are available in a broad range of base sizes, heights, and configurations—giving users more options to fit more machines and boost efficiency.

OSG USA Inc. released a range of new products to its tooling portfolio, including end mills, drills and inserts.

The HBE663A Dynamic horizontal bandsaw from Behringer Saws Inc. for sawing bundled materials features a double clamping vice that the company says securely clamps both the starting material and the finished cut, making it suited for bundle cutting or single cuts.

The TAG90 center-through-coolant angle head and AG35 high-pressure coolant adapters from Big Daishowa deliver coolant directly from the machine spindle to the cutting edge, bypassing the stop block, which enhances cooling efficiency and chip removal. The new angle heads support coolant pressures up to 1,000 PSI.

The hyperMILL 2025 CAD/CAM Software Suite from OPEN MIND Technologies features highly productive programming and machining strategies that the company says enable accurate, efficient 2.5D, 3D, precision 5-axis, and mill/turn machining.

ESAB has unveiled its Vision T6 CNC, a controller for automated plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines that the company says is as intuitive to use as a smartphone or tablet. The Vision T6 features a multi-touch, high-definition panel with a Windows operating system. The Vision includes features such as swipe-to-zoom, drag-and-drop, and a familiar home button.

The ForceMaster spindle drawbar pull-force tester from Rego-Fix tests proper machine tool spindle drawbar pull-force, which is an important aspect of overall spindle preventive maintenance and performance. With more than a dozen available adapters, ForceMaster works on virtually any machine tool spindle interface.

The hyperMILL 2025 CAD/CAM Software Suite from Open Mind Technologies features highly productive programming and machining strategies that the company says enable accurate, efficient 2.5D, 3D, precision 5-Axis, and mill/turn machining.

The QTE-100 MY CNC turning center with multi-tasking capabilities from Mazak is designed for high-speed and high-precision turning in a space-saving design, the company says.
