Hardinge Inc. announces the release of the 80mm FlexC vulcanized collet system. The collet chucks mount directly to the machine spindle.

HEIDENHAIN offers the ECN/EQN 400 series rotary encoders with PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces for use in manufacturing, process automation and more.

Adding a 4th-axis rotary table to a machining center is a proven way to boost productivity, reduce setups, and increase accuracy on multi-op parts. Adding a fast rotary table to a fast machine creates a high-speed package that slashes cycles times even further. The HRC210 from Haas Automation is a high-speed, cam-driven rotary table that provides cutting and indexing speeds up to 830 degrees/second.

UltraFlex, a new portfolio of wear-resistant surface treatments from Kennametal, brings industry-leading wear performance to components with complex geometries in power generation, oil and gas, and many other industries.

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.

Denray Machine Inc. says its downdraft tables are ideal to help protect workers from hazardous smoke, fumes and particles generated during grinding, welding or sanding operations.

Coherent Inc. has expanded its family of industrial ultrafast lasers with the new Talisker 1000 series.

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.

SICK announced the launch of the Frame Light Grids (FLG) for detecting and counting parts as small as 4mm in size.

MC Machinery Systems Inc. introduces the fifth generation MWX4 machine.

MecWash Systems recently introduced its Duo 400 compact, fully automatic and self-contained aqueous cleaning system. Said to meet the highest "visually clean and dry" cleanliness and inspection standards, the Duo 400 is ideal for cell-manufacturing or within a centralized layout, according to the company.

The CoroMill 316 exchangeable-head milling system from Sandvik Coromant is suitable for high-feed facemilling, slot milling, helical interpolation, shoulder milling, profile milling and chamfer milling of components in material groups from ISO P to ISO S.

ESAB Cutting Systems introduces the Hydrocut LX Waterjet Shape Cutting Machine — the latest version of ESAB's popular Low-Rail Hydrocut machine.

SICK has launched the AFS60 and AFM60 absolute encoders with Industrial Ethernet.

J.W. Winco's RoHS-compliant shoulder screws are cost-saving construction components for a wide variety of different uses.

Techno Inc. has announced its newest CNC Plasma Accessory: the TechProbe Digitizer.

Kafko International recently introduced Oil Eater Original, an eco-friendly cleaner and degreaser that is said to disperse grease, oil and grime from machinery, engines, tools, concrete, walls and more.

Medical part manufacturing continues to be a rapidly growing market due to the large population of aging baby boomers who are looking for "improved quality of life." Demand is high for high-precision components for neurological, orthopeadic, spinal/bone fixation, dental implants, drug infusion, catheter connectors, optical, maxillofacial, micro/minimally invasive, surgical instruments and other medical devices, most of which can be manufactured on the Hardinge QUEST SUPER-PRECISION GT27 gang-tool turning center.

Metabo Corp. introduces a new lightweight, ergonomic angle grinder designed for applications in the field using AC/DC power sources.
