Emuge Corp., in partnership with Albrecht Precision Chucks, has introduced Emuge FPC mill/drill chucks that reportedly provide unprecedented rigidity, vibration damping, concentricity, machining speed and tool life versus conventional chuck technologies for milling and drilling applications.

New and improved, the Multimar 844 T Universal Measurement Gage from Mahr Federal is for large ID and OD gaging. Built on a finely ground, hard chrome-plated column, and available in a range of sizes, the Multimar 844 T can measure ODs and IDs up to 2,500mm with extreme sensitivity and accuracy. New Multimar 844 T gages now include a number of improved features that make them more precise, more stable and more flexible.

Exsys Tool Inc., which is the exclusive supplier of pL LEHMANN rotary tables for North America, recently announced the expansion of its ultra-high precision products to include the pL LEHMANN swissClamp modular clamping system, according to the San Antonio, Fla.-based company. The modular clamping system reportedly allows operators to mount multiple workpieces on machine tool tables for uninterrupted production and unmanned operations.

For longitudinal and face turning, Sandvik Coromant introduces the CoroTurn 300 for higher component quality, increased handling efficiency and longer tool life in steel turning operations. The CoroTurn 300 features stable insert clamping, as well as eight-edged inserts for the high chip control, tool life and surface finish.

THINBIT, manufactured by Kaiser Tool Co., announces the expansion of its GROOVE ’N TURN line of dovetail grooving inserts. Dovetail grooving inserts are used to machine O-ring dovetail grooves with 66° undercut angles.

With the ever increasing demand to position and hold more weight and higher pressures, Loc-Line introduces its ¾” element clamps. The ¾” system has been used to successfully deliver large amounts of fluid, hold heavy objects and large shields.

Lang Technovation Inc. has introduced its new ECO Compact 20 space-saving and simple automation system.
The ECO Compact 20 is reportedly designed for complete ease of use and flexibility within a production shop. It is ideal for use with vertical machining centers, housing 20 pallets in a 2m x 2m footprint, saving valuable manufacturing space without sacrificing capacity.

EXAIR's 1/4 NPT internal mix 360° hollow circular pattern atomizing spray nozzle atomizes fluid and sprays away from the nozzle in all directions. These nozzles are ideal where a smooth, even coating is needed on the inside diameter of a pipe or similar ductwork.

Sugino Corp. introduces the new Barriquan family of self-compensating deburring toolholders. Barriquan toolholders have integral tension and compression designed for hard tool deburring of all materials and part shapes.

The TNC 640, HEIDENHAIN’s mill/turn control, has added powerful new cycles and features. Enhanced graphics, interpolation turning and gear hobbing are some examples that will extend the versatility of the TNC 640 to new applications such as for machining large parts for power plants.

HPT nozzles expand the working pressure range to a maximum 1,000 psi, allowing a higher level of machining while providing the same Loc-Line quality end users come to expect. The CT (compact turret) is for tight spaces and the XR (extended rotation) is also available.

The RF 100 Diver family of high-performance, solid-carbide endmills from Guhring Inc. are capable of plunging and extreme ramping in alloy steel, cast iron and aluminum. The Diver is a variable-helix, 4-flute endmill with a special face geometry for drilling up to 2 diameters deep and ramping up to a 45° plunge angle.

The Junker Group says its ingenuity and expertise are put on display with the flexible, high-performance QUICKPOINT grinding machine. High-speed grinding combines Junker precision with maximum flexibility.

The new RCT85, for larger sizes, taps 10 ½-13 holes, 1” deep in 18 seconds. For fastest cycle time, Tapmatic offers CST (constant-speed tapping) attachments.

Regal Cutting Tools has developed a variable-helix endmill that minimizes deflection and reduces vibration. This tool can be run at heavy feed rates to outperform carbide at half the cost when milling titanium, stainless steel and nickel-base superalloys, according to the company.

Heimatec announces immediate availability of BMT (Base Mount Tooling) standard products. In addition to standard X- and Z-axis tools, styles such as adjustable tools, speed increasers and internal coolant tools with capabilities to 140 bar (2,000 psi) are available in an assortment of standard BMT tooling types, including BMT 45, 55, 65 and 75.

EHWA Diamond Industrial Ltd. offers its VT series of PCBN (polycrystalline boron nitride) indexable cutting tools. With the VT line of inserts, end users can achieve deeper depths of cut given the more robust method of cutting edge construction versus the industry standard brazed chip-style insert, according to the company.

HAIMER USA has introduced a new variable-helix carbide roughing endmill for cutting stainless steels and general steels. The Power Mill F1304NN series endmill combines variable-flute geometry with a roughing cord profile design for more stable milling in machines with limited horsepower.

Koma Precision Inc. introduces new adjustable angle heads from Alberti. The new Linea P High Power angle heads have a new design and improved capacity. TCU-8 and TCU-10 can be adjusted to -105° to +105° with a digital display of the angle.

Dormer Pramet says the Pramet Force AD milling cutter is revolutionizing end user productivity with its versatility. This universal shoulder milling cutter features a differential pitch to reduce vibration and system noise. Combine solid performance with the cutter’s application with multiple materials and in harsh environmental conditions and users have the ideal universal shoulder milling product to fit their needs.
