Tungaloy introduces CeramicSpeedMill for efficient milling of heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs).

Carmex Precision Tools Ltd. has introduced new diamond turning inserts designed to enable customers to achieve higher productivity and greater efficiency in machining hard materials faster and more effectively than grinding or ceramics. The PCD inserts excel in the machining of nonferrous materials, including high-silicon aluminum, copper and brass alloys, magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, and composites.

The new Eriez NanoRanch A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) Sorter uses vision to identify and sort a vast and customizable range of nonferrous materials, providing greater than 95 percent accuracy when the machine is trained with samples.

BallRoughNose is the latest development in Tungaloy’s indexable milling technology for efficient and reliable rough profiling of curved surfaces.

Tungaloy expands its TungMeister series of interchangeable milling head system, to include 4-flute cutter heads with high-feed capability.

Tungaloy enhances usefulness of TungModularSystem, a modular-style grooving and parting tool system with through-coolant feature.

Tungaloy has introduced DX110 polycrystalline diamond insert grade, a submicron grain sized PCD for superior finishing of nonferrous materials.

Tungaloy adds a line of positive style inserts to its BX480 insert series, a well-proven T-CBN grade for efficient turning of sintered powder metals and cast iron.

Cortec VpCI Technology offers practical, cost-effective alternatives to help protect existing electrical assets from corrosion and extend service life in three easy steps: Emit, Spray, Absorb.

The unique shape of Palmgren’s electric hand grinders provide exceptional control with less operator fatigue.

Dialight announced the launch of its new IntelliLED Connected Industrial Lighting Platform—a wireless controls solution for heavy industrial lighting applications.

Madison Chemical introduces ULTRA-BOND 2187, a dry-in-place pretreatment for precleaned metal. This zero-phosphorus solution forms a homogeneous organic/inorganic layer on pretreated metals, providing outstanding corrosion protection for pretreated surfaces painted with powder or piqued paints.

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the launch of a new wireless, inline, gap and flash measuring system. The NEXTSENSE CALIPRI C15 is the latest addition to the CALIPRI family of non-contact measurement systems, which use a patented sensing technique to rapidly and accurately measure gap and flush, seal gap and feature lines throughout the manufacturing process.

To greatly reduce cabinet and enclosure requirements for machine builders and manufacturers, Beckhoff Automation has announced the new AMP8620 supply module. The AMP8000 Distributed Servo Drive system provides optimal support for the implementation of modular machine concepts.

The introduction of a specific 5-axis tilt control strategy, combined with a barrel cutter, is said to be the most significant enhancement in the latest release of EDGECAM, from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Production Software division.

Columbia Marking Tools Inc. has pioneered the application development of many of the marking processes used in manufacturing today, including enhanced versions of dot-peen marking, low-stress dot-peen marking, impact marking, roll marking, laser marking and now scribe marking.

EtherCat is becoming a communication standard in industrial automation. The continuous need for higher precision in R&D, test and manufacturing drives the demand for more high-performance, piezo-based nano-positioning and scanning systems; semiconductor manufacturing, optics and photonics are typical examples. PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers a new EtherCat compatible version of its successful E-727 digital piezo controller family.

Make deep-hole operations productive and reduce the risk of scrapping large, expensive workpieces with the new GL threading and grooving heads for Steadyline ø1" (25 mm)-diameter turning and boring bars from Seco Tools. The new heads extend the range of GL Heads and Steadyline bars, increase production accuracy, improve surface finishes and reduce downtime from insert indexing and head changing.

GF Machining Solutions announces the availability of its AgieCharmilles CUT C 350 and CUT C 600 wire EDMs for U.S. manufacturers that want high performance with low operating costs. At a $99,000 starting price point, the machines are not only cost-effective, but also provide optimized cutting speeds and reliable accuracy, while their AC CUT HMI 2 systems make for easy programming through efficient EDM expert modules.

KAAST bandsaws come in sizes ranging from 9” to 60” (230 mm to 1,500 mm). Larger capacity saws generally have larger motors providing more torque and allowing the operator to cut faster, not just larger, and to increase the speed at which the blade can get through the material. But as size increases, so do prices.
