Lexair's modular CIVI Rail workholding system boosts the productivity, accuracy and repeatability of horizontal machining centers, providing multi-part clamping in virtually limitless configurations on tombstones and trunnions.
From its rotary table to its powerful spindle, virtually every feature of OKK's HMC400 Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for speed and faster cycle times.
From dual-clutch transmissions to the classic differential, modern transmission technology is a pivotal research sector in the automotive industry where designers optimize the functionality of gearwheels with new materials and altered geometries. These gearwheels are also required in ever larger quantities as the number of speed-gears in many passenger cars continues to increase. Laser welding is one innovation promoting effective processes and EMAG capitalizes on their knowledge in the production of transmission components with ELC series of laser welding machines that offer integrated solutions for processes with high output rates.
Machinists can now add a locking feature to tapped holes by utilizing specialized Spiralock taps from Stanley Engineered Fastening optimized for extended tool life in high volume CNC operations.
Siemens offers extensive products and solutions designed to provide support for the engineering and other processes that include machine tools, which now fit under Sinumerik Integrate.
Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Cut SX grooving and parting system, a flexible new approach for both turning and milling operations that reportedly brings higher levels of reliability, productivity, and tool life to these crucial operations.
Automatic tool changers, type CTM are suitable for applications on NC milling machines, vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, transfer machines, laser and plasma cutting machines.
Chevalier's FVM double column VMC has an extremely rigid and stable structure base on oversized columns, extra-wide spacing of box ways on a slanted Y-axis and close symmetrical design of the Z-axis.
Mahr Federal has built wireless data transmission into its family of MarCal Digital Calipers, making them available for the same price as a typical wired caliper.
The SBN300/1-600 skiving and roller burnishing machine from Precihole Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd. is capable of achieving hydraulic tube ID's ranging from 35mm (1.37") to 400mm (16") and lengths up to 40-ft. using plain carbon steel, ST-52, ST-55 or aluminum for tube construction.
The Programmable and Modular PCU Safety Control Unit from Tapeswitch Corp. bridges the gap in technology between traditional safety relays and PLC systems for safety device integration for machinery builders, rebuilders, and users.
Cast iron milling is the next machining area covered by the new grades with Inveio from Sandvik Coromant. Having already introduced the grade GC4325 for steel turning, the cutting tools supplier introduces GC3330, a wear-resistant first choice grade for cast iron milling.
Iscar Metals is introducing new small-sized cost saving inserts. In many turning applications, machinists tend to use larger inserts than are actually required for the machining parameters being applied. To fill the need, Iscar is introducing a wide range of ISOTURN small sized inserts, which provide an economical advantage regarding cost per cutting edge.
