Transducers USA has announced the expansion of its line of TRIP-80 alarm series of high output audio alerts in a small package: 26mm dia. x 22mm high. The updated TRIP-80 series generates a sound pressure level of a minimum of 97dB @ 30cm with a continuous or fast pulsing audio output.

The latest HSC machines work with high speeds and therefore need precisely balanced tools. The ZOLLER »toolBalancer« — the high-precision balancing system specifically for toolholders, grinding wheels and rotors — gives you precisely balanced tools.

Shops that struggle to maximize end-mill tool life when machining tough materials can now achieve 25 to 40 percent longer life with new Jabro-Solid2 JS750 endmills from Seco Tools. Designed specifically for the aerospace sector, the new JS754 and JS755 tools provide cost-effective high performance to tackle that industry’s challenging materials, including ISO M (stainless steel) and S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium).

Transducers USA has announced the addition of a stainless steel warning indicator to its Tonelight series. The stainless steel package is ideal for use in any harsh environment. This panel-mounted device gives both an audible and visual warning signal, especially helpful in conditions with high levels of ambient noise.

The Lintech 100 series linear positioning slides maximize performance while minimizing physical size and cost. These linear slides use a low friction, preloaded, recirculating linear ball bearing system, which ride on precision ground linear square rail guide.

The Eldorado M75-48T is a two-spindle gundrilling machine with 48 inches (1,219 mm) of slide travel. This is 60 percent more slide travel than the standard Eldorado model offered by the company. The additional length allows the machine to accommodate nearly all the gundrilling applications a job shop will encounter.

No. 1021 is a 1250º F high-temperature belt conveyor oven from Grieve, currently used for drying steel nesh (sieve) materials at the customer’s facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 21” W x 38” D x 3” H, and 40 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the oven chamber, while a 1600-cfm, 1.5-hp recirculating blower provides vertical downward airflow to the workload.

CNC Software Inc., producers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announces a 3-axis and 4-axis milling post processor that will unleash the highest productivity on SINUMERIK-controlled machine tools. This new post processor was developed utilizing the technical expertise of Siemens CNC engineers.

Walter has introduced the D3120, an indexable insert drill built to provide trouble-free drilling in virtually all conditions. It features square positive indexable inserts with four cutting edges, enabling it to reduce cost per cutting edge.

SMIRT 2019 R1, the latest release of Vero Software’s powerful viewing and manufacturing solution for the die-mold industry, introduces new on-machine inspection functionality and enhanced templating functionality for added process planning automation.

The new HighLight SQD option for Coherent HighLight fiber lasers provides cutting and welding systems integrators with a turnkey, simple to use and cost effective means to implement process monitoring. The HighLight SQD comprises process sensors integrated directly into Coherent’s special fiber laser connectors which detect back reflected laser power and visible spectrum process emissions. These signals, which are provided in either analog or digital CAN bus form (at a 2 kHz sampling rate), can be used to detect various key process events.

Seco Tools has expanded its long-reach turning and boring solutions with additions to its series of Steadyline vibration-damping turning/boring bars and their respective heads. The new additions include 1.00" (25 mm) diameter Steadyline bars, GL25 turning heads and 4.00" (100 mm) diameter Steadyline bars, along with a range of rough and fine boring heads for Steadyline bars.

NCSIMUL MACHINE simulation and optimization software from SPRING Technologies helps aerospace and other manufacturers create “digital twin” process models that facilitate fulfilment of customer demands for higher production rates and unwavering product quality.

igus has introduced a flexible cable for use in energy chains that delivers motor power and feedback functions through a single cable. The new CF280.UL.H cable is a hybrid servo cable offered as an expansion to the chainflex line of cables for moving applications.

Tungaloy’s new T9225 insert grade is joining the earlier successes of T9125 to complement the T9200 CVD grade series for steel turning. T9225 brings an exceptional combination of unparalleled wear resistance and top-notch edge toughness of all P25 grades available on the market to every steel turning application.

ANCA's iView measuring system that can measure the ground tool in its original clamping inside the grinding machine. This feature has recently been further enhanced with a new camera bracket design that allows operators to visually inspect and perform manual measuring of parameters like endface land width, lip distances, chisel angles and more.

As part of its ongoing commitment to empower organizations to create safer work environments and comply with OSHA standards, Rockford Systems LLC has introduced an automatic sanding belt holder that enables lathe operators to sand, polish and deburr while keeping hands away from rotating parts and at safe operating distance away from the spinning shaft and, thereby, helping to prevent entanglement.

BIG KAISER announces the MEGA Micro Coolant Nut, a developed solution to provide precise coolant supply to micro cutting tools applications at high speeds.

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced its AV450 Automatic Vision System. Versatile, accurate, fast,and American made, the new 3-axis vision system allows users to cost-effectively achieve high throughput in their inspection process, and is suitable for both repetitive, larger part-run applications and routine quality assurance.

Weldcote Metals, a division of Zika Group, announced the availability of a comprehensive line of metalworking abrasives, many of which will be made in the U.S. at Weldcote’s production facility in Niles, Illinois. The entire line includes more than 900 new SKUs.
