Advanced hard turning, or the use of superhard polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting tools for machining hardened ferrous materials like cast irons, is eagerly sought across a number of key manufacturing industries. Hundreds of millions of brakes discs, brake drums, flywheels, and wheel hubs are required annually in motor vehicle, heavy equipment, and other industries, and although superhard tools show promise for turning such tough-to-machine parts, that promise has been stalled due to the tendency of these expensive tools to shatter and break under the extreme forces required. With decades of experience in advanced materials science and tool design, Kennametal is announcing Beyond Shield as the solution (responding to modern challenges in machining cast iron machining) to this situation.

ABB JOKAB SAFETY has introduced Focus II Light Curtains and Light Grids, an updated version of the Focus product line designed to offer the complete range of features in one low cost package.

CIMCOOL specializes in fluids for machining and grinding, stamping, drawing and forming, cleaners, and corrosion inhibitors, as well as specialty lubricants and fluid management equipment.

Job shops around the world may have business and customer requirements unique to each company, but concerns on how to improve costs and secure more business are common to all. "Shops want more performance options, and at the same time don't want multiple, job- or material-specific tooling solutions tying up their inventory," says Mark Filosemi, global product manager, threading, grooving, and cut-off for WIDIA. "Where productivity is concerned, particularly in grooving, and cut-off, you have to have a versatile system to be serious. That's where the WIDIA WMT platform is a proven winner, because shops can do more with it."

Since 2010, Open Mind has provided a "high-performance cutting" strategy that allows considerably higher material-removal rates to be achieved while also protecting tools and machines. Already established for 3D and 5-axis machining, it can now also be used for 2D tasks.
