Palbit by Toolmex 45°Face mill cutters have eight 45-degree cutting edges, which create superb surface finishes with high feed rates along with large chip gullets ensuring great chip evacuation.
A medical device manufacturer who has been using Creform Corp. built structures in its production facilities was faced with the problem of providing workstations for use in both its shipping and production departments to associates of various heights.
One of the most fundamental keys to running an efficient and cost-effective plant is having the right tool in the right place at the right time. While the cost of a milling or turning insert may range from a few dollars to significant investment, not having that tool available when needed can shut down an entire production line or more, resulting in missed delivery dates and lost profits. That is why tooling technology leader Kennametal Inc. is announcing new expansions of its ToolBOSS tool-management system.
No. 875 is a gas-fired, 1600°F (about 871°C) specialty furnace from Grieve, currently used for burning off hydrocarbons from machined alloy components at the customer's facility.
Industrial Magnetics Inc. has expanded its line of Transporter LP magnetic end-of-arm tooling, designed to magnetically transfer metal blanks, stampings and parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer and robotic pick-and-place applications.
The new Renishaw XR20-W calibration system measures the angular position of rotary axes to within +/-1 arc second, wirelessly, for testing the accuracy of lathes, multi-axis machine tools, mill-turn machines, trunnion tables and spindles.
New quick disconnect torches from Hypertherm's Centricut brand are now available for Kaliburn Spirit and ProLine series plasma systems, providing owners of those products with an affordable alternative.
Accurate targeting of coolant during machining provides maximum effectiveness in chip evacuation. However, precision and pressure are two equally important aspects of coolant. The higher the pressure, the more demanding applications can be machined with excellent results. Sandvik Coromant offers advanced nozzle technology and dedicated insert geometries for machining steel, stainless steel and HRSA materials.
