Using multiple software systems to manage cutting tool data and toolholder assembly models is both time-consuming and error-prone. That’s why software developer CGTech announces that it offers a connection with Siemens’ Teamcenter software as part of its toolpath simulation software, VERICUT.

To be shipped to customers in November 2018, Eureka 9 virtual machining software suite from Roboris Srl includes many enhancements.

MAPAL has introduced a milling program with pressed, radial ISO indexable inserts, thus completing the portfolio of standard milling tools. Up to now, the company has mainly focused on a milling program with ground, tangential ISO indexable inserts. These are used in particular for special applications, very large stock removal, unstable conditions or disc milling cutters.

Tungaloy further expands its popular indexable gundrill series, DeepTriDrill to include a diameter range of 28.01 mm – 40 mm or 1.1” – 1.57”.

EXAIR's new 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch Heavy Duty Line Vacs are powerful in-line conveyors that transport high volumes of material through ordinary hose or tube. Designed for rugged, industrial applications, Heavy Duty Line Vacs have a hardened alloy construction that prevent premature wear when transporting abrasive or heavy materials like shot blast, tumbling media or metal fittings.

With its PWP and PWP-D insertable form drill system, Schwanog addresses the problem of high setup times as the insert holder stays in the machine during insert changeover. This design allows the center height to stay unchanged.

A line of two-piece shaft collars that combine a smooth bore to protect valuable shafts with wrenching flats to safely provide added torque using an open-end wrench has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Conventional machining of serrations on turned parts requires a separate process either while milling or broaching. Before either of these finishing processes can take place the parts generally must go through a cleaning process. With Schwanog’s broaching tool, manufacturer of serrated turned parts are able to use a completely new approach on a conventional lathe with C-axis, in a single operation, which eliminates the cleaning process.

SCHUNK Electronic Solutions is bringing two depaneling machines with large installation spaces onto the market: the SAR-1300-Mono-Smart and the SAR-1700. The machines mill and saw individual PCBs from a large PCB panel - the maximum panel size is 600 x 500 millimeters.

T.M. Smith Tool adds Jacobs taper rigid ER collet chucks to its family of Jacobs taper tooling. The new durable collet chucks are manufactured from premium grade, through-hardened steel.

Dialight launched its new 655 series ½-inch Snap-in Panel Mount Indicators, providing a high-bright, RoHS-compliant solution for electrical/machine panels, dashboards, status indication, medical application and maintenance and warning indication.

Walter Surface Technologies has fully redesigned its ICECUT line of powerful magnetic drilling units and annular cutters. At 22 lbs. and 27 lbs. respectively, the ICECUT 100 and ICECUT 200 mag drills are lightweight.

The KADL cable entry system provides an easy to use, highly flexible, economical way to maintain enclosure integrity while still using pre-terminated cables and connectors. This KADL cable entry system allows for the insertion and sealing of pre-assembled cables with connectors into enclosures, machines and control cabinets. They can easily be expanded and adjusted, thanks to its unique modular design, providing high flexibility for various applications.

After extensive customer research, FactoryWiz has introduced the new Flexible Tablet Interface (FTI) for the FactoryWiz Monitoring Systems. The new Flexible Tablet Interface offers system owners the use of customized widgets for data entry and display without programming knowledge.

Omegasonics announced Plural Additive Manufacturing, the exclusive North American distributor for industrial 3D printers manufactured by 3ntr, is offering Omegasonics new 815BTX cleaning unit to those purchasing its 3D printers to assist with removing support material.

Dake Corp. announces the addition of two new benchtop horizontal bandsaws to its horizontal bandsaw product line. The semiautomatic SE 5X6 RCT model (pictured) comes fully loaded with gravity down feed and Reverse Cutting Technology (RCT), while the SE 5X8 is manual feed with a 2-speed motor.

The requirement for strict specification and acceptance of all automotive parts and components has greatly increased in recent years. Screw thread inspection is no exception. The common practice of eddy current probes, lasers, proximity sensors or vision systems are only partly successful as they only inform you of the presence of a thread, not if it's correct or within tolerance. The unique low-cost SMAC solution enables you to automatically check various screw thread parameters.

Regulatory constraints, but also operator well-being, encourage industrials to develop increasingly neutral solutions for the working environment. For many years, CONDAT has been committed to finding healthier products and innovates by offering soluble lubricants based on renewable, boron-free raw materials without formalin, chlorine, DEA, DCHA or silicone releasing agents. More recently, CONDAT distinguished itself with an international automotive sector group by supplying an amine-free, high-performance cutting fluid with a reduced health footprint: POLYBIO 650 ABF.

TDM Systems, a subsidiary of Sandvik Machining Solutions has announced the introduction of ROI Calculator a free-of-charge new online tool that helps users calculate potential savings and their return on investment of tool usage when using TDM tool management solutions.

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