Sandvik Coromant has introduced two new grades for machining cast iron.

Available from Absolute Machine Tools, Johnford DMC Series double-column moving table bridge mill is created from a one-piece Meehanite cast iron bridge/column assembly that reportedly takes up 30 percent less floor space than comparable C-frame vertical machining centers.

Walter says it has enhanced its M4000 milling cutter system with a new slot drill and a T-slot cutter, enabling users to tackle the vast majority of typical machining operations with a single high-performance yet cost-effective tooling system.

3D Systems has begun shipping the latest version of GibbsCAM, its software for production machining.

Hexagon Metrology announced new options for the latest version of its TIGO SF shop-floor CMM, which enable easy integration into fully automated in-line or near-the-line inspection cells or as part of a complete production/inspection setup.

Huot's new TriScoot is constructed of sturdy 16-gauge steel with three flat shelves for maximum capacity.

For the production of homokinetic joints of hardened steel, numerous automotive manufacturers and suppliers rely on ballnose milling cutters from the MAPAL CPMill program.

For decades, ARKU has made a name for itself in leveling technology and now the company is entering the deburring market with launch of the new EdgeBreaker deburring and rounding machine.

Schaffner EMC introduces ECOsine 60 Hz Passive Harmonic Filters which remove harmful harmonics of a pre-determined order, to increase the reliability of supplied power, and thus extend the service life of downstream components.

Kurt's line up provides machinists with a wide array of holding options for their workpieces being machined on small CNC tables.

Mass production components always present challenges: planning the machine installation site, linking machines and coordinating cycle times all to achieve the perfect combination of quality and cost efficiency. The larger the workpiece the more demanding the planning process for the manufacturing set-up. However, optimizing the production of such parts, for example by reducing expensive automation components or reducing the process chain to just a few machines, can drastically cut costs. EMAG's VLC 800 vertical turning center for chucked parts up to 800mm is a production system that combines all these benefits in a single machine thanks to its integrated automation systems.

Mencom offers private labeling for Panel Interface Connectors also known as programming ports.

Mitsubishi Materials announces the expansion of BC8110 coated PCBN grade for high-hardened steel turning.

Harvey Tool has released its fall 2015 catalog.
