To guarantee continuous and consistent cleaning results, it is essential that cleaning can be planned. For this, a system has to function in an optimal way and fluctuations in the process or unscheduled downtimes must be avoided. A service concept that is tailored to the requirements of the equipment user and implemented in close cooperation with the manufacturer helps to achieve this. Therefore, Ecoclean has developed a wide range of services that can be individually combined.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a flexible selection architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frame series. This interchangeable system architecture increases application versatility, providing users a wider range of solution options from basic to advanced, for their specific force and material testing needs.

To reduce the once time-consuming process of dashboard creation down to a simple mouse click, Beckhoff has introduced the new TwinCAT Analytics One-Click Dashboard. When tailoring new data-driven services to individual customer requirements, machine builders and system integrators need solutions that are as cost-effective as possible.

Collet pad top jaw systems from Dillon Manufacturing allow more varied geometries to be securely gripped, while also allowing more aggressive machining which shortens cycle times. With systems that can convert through-hole chucks to hold small bar and tube stock, and full contact of gripping surfaces to provide a more stable grip and allows heavier cuts, these Dillon products allow shops of all sizes to expand their capabilities.

The Dispense Works Inc. RP series robotic dispensing system with an optional vision guided system performs pattern recognition and edge and hole detection for simpler setup and fixturing, while assuring repeatability from part to part. The robot takes a picture of the part, does any necessary offsets and adjusts its program for precise dispensing and part placement.

Tungaloy is expanding its TungCut series of grooving tools to include new insert and holder options. TungCut’s DTE grooving insert offers a versatile design that allows the insert to be used for grooving and turning in both axial and radial directions.

Open Mind Technologies AG announced it offers an Additive Manufacturing capability option in hyperMILL CAM software to support 3D printing and additive processes. hyperMILL together with additive option also provides efficient hybrid processing with simultaneous additive and subtractive processing on one machine.

With the DMC 65 H monoBLOCK, DMG MORI presents a new highlight in horizontal machining. The unique machine concept unites the flexibility and ergonomics of a 5-axis vertical machine with the productivity and process reliability of a horizontal machining center.

Beckhoff Automation has introduced new TwinCAT Cloud Engineering software for IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. With this feature-filled addition to the TwinCAT 3 platform, users can instantiate and use existing TwinCAT engineering and runtime products directly in the cloud.

MicroCentric Corp. has introduced a new quick-change compensating collet chuck for applications where shafts are machined between centers. The chuck features a pullback design with a floating collet seat and incorporates a mounting in the ID of the chuck body for centers or other types of locators.

A new PH Cell pallet system with a footprint of 10.7 m² from DMG MORI is available for the DMU 65 monoBLOCK machine. The side loading into the machine tool guarantees optimal ergonomics and accessibility to the workspace.

Verti-Lift presents a complete line of pneumatic lifting, tilting, and rotating ergonomic equipment, which are ideal when hydraulics are not an option, and the cost to run electrical is prohibitive. With solutions that are cost effective and versatile, these pneumatic products are ideal for work cells, packaging, manufacturing or assembly applications.

The new Lasertec 400 Shape expands the DMG MORI portfolio in 5-axis laser structuring into the range of large molds up to 3,350 mm x 1,350 mm x 1,000 mm with a workpiece weight of up to 20,000 kg.

Kwik Mark Inc. X Series markers improve overall operation and streamline every aspect of marking your products. The smarter design boasts high performance for the most demanding applications.

A new standard line of rigid shaft couplings offered with a choice of popular design templates to let users reduce the cost and delivery time of small quantity custom orders has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Mazak Corp. offers the SQR-250 turning center for the fast, accurate production of long shaft or chucked workpieces. The machine features a powerful single spindle with two 45-degree opposed-wedge style turrets that cut simultaneously to slash cycle times and provide balanced cutting.

Made in Kentucky, the simple but innovative Mazak VC-300A vertical machining center with 3-axis table can take 40-taper cuts in hard-to-machine 410 stainless material on a typical 30-taper-sized machine.

With its VC-500A/5X AM HWD, Mazak provides the benefits of hybrid multitasking hot wire deposition (HWD) part processing. With capabilities beyond conventional multitasking, the VC-500A/5X AM HWD reduces lead times and part costs, increases machining accuracy and part quality, while also providing even higher levels of productivity,
flexibility and profitability.

Mazak Corp.'s VCN-575C vertical machining center brings advanced technology, performance and value to heavy-torque machining applications. Made in Kentucky, the machine features a traditional C-frame design, vibration damping, rigid base and headstock/column castings for extreme stability.

Mazak Corp. offers the Integrex i-100 Bartac-S multitask machine, which incorporates enhanced CNC technology and high-speed servo systems to offer high levels of productivity when processing small high-precision parts in
single setups, as well as machining bar material up to 4" in diameter.
