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.
Hardinge Inc. began production of collets in the 1890s for use on bench lathes making parts for the watchmaking and lens industries. It is believed that the "C" designation for their first 5C collets came from the name of the Cataract waterfalls that could be viewed from the factory grounds of the Hardinge Brothers Co. in Chicago, where they manufactured precision Cataract bench lathes. Incredibly, the Hardinge C-series design has not changed since the early use in the 1890s, even in light of the rapidly changing technology in machine tool design.
Key interlocks from Tapeswitch Corp. are a machine guarding solution for the control of hazardous energy, eliminating the need for a procedural lockout tag out system and are approved for such use in the US under the ANSI standard Z244.1 — Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods).
Shrinking batch sizes with larger varieties of parts and rising competitive pressure are increasingly leading to the demand for complete 5-axis machining, milling as well as turning, in a single set-up. To meet these demands HELLER Machine Tools introduced the CP 8000 5-axis milling and turning center.
igus' E4-1 Energy Chain cable carriers combine the features and benefits of its three predecessors in the E4 cable carrier range, including low noise, ruggedness and modularity.
TCD (Total Cost of Design) and TCM (Total Cost of Manufacturing) are essential factors in maintaining a leading position in high-demand and competitive machine-tool markets worldwide. With one eye on the costs and the other on performance level, most of the machine-tool leaders have switched to the cubic concept, invented and developed by REDEX to enhance axis-drive global solutions.
