Now, a cost-effective chainflex Ethernet cable is available for a wide range of applications.

OSG USA Inc. has introduced its highly anticipated 2017/18 Cutting Tool Solutions Catalog in print and digital versions. The latest catalog edition has more than 1,300 pages and features new products including EXOCARB ADF flat drills and PHOENIX PSTW indexable shoulder cutters, and many new expansions to the company's quality lines, such as the EXOCARB MAX-MINI drills, EXOCARB WDO drills, PHEONIX PXD indexable exchangeable head drills and PHOENIX PFB indexable ballnose endmills.

The PS two-speed gearbox from Stober Drives Inc. features two different options, from a direct drive to customer ratio choice. The 1:1 ratio direct drive can be used for high-speed cutting up to 10,000 rpm.

IntelLiDrives has designed and manufactured an innovative large area XY gantry where Theta angle can exceed 20 degrees. The new kinematic approach allows large relative motions of the independent X1 and X2 parallel axes.

Guyson has just completed another one of its popular RB-9 robotic blasting systems. The customer had a demanding surface preparation specification that could only be achieved by precise robotic gun manipulation and part fixturing and the use of high-performance model 75/12 media cyclone.

Euro-Tech Corporation is the North American distributor of the Tshcorn line of 3D testers. The most popular model, the SLIMplus analog 3D-tester can remain wet in the toolchanger—without any damage; impervious to splash water and oil.

The new Carmex AMT (aluminum mill-thread) cutter delivers a fine surface finish, good chip evacuation and is constructed of solid carbide to absorb cutting forces in high-speed aluminum machining. Available in a cylindrical shank or Weldon shank, the AMT is designed to minimize the tendency of aluminum to stick to the cutting tool edges.

MAPAL offers a broad portfolio of ISO tools for milling operations. A new series of cutting materials has been developed especially for the milling of the whole bandwidth of cast iron grades – GJL, GJV and GJS.

Weiler Abrasives Group has announced a new product in its Tiger bonded abrasives lineup. The new Tiger UltraCut thin cutting wheels deliver fast cuts, long wheel life and consistent performance—with a true 1mm thickness.

Behringer Saws Inc. has added the VA-L 500 to its line of circular cold saws. Behringer Eisele GmbH designed the VA-L 500 sawing system specifically for production cutting of aluminum and nonferrous materials.

MAPAL has developed a multi-bladed fine boring tool with guide pads. Thanks to the multiple cutting edges, the cycle time is significantly
reduced compared with single-bladed tools.

Tungsten ToolWorks offers seven micro-endmill geometries in an “infinite” variety of diameters, lengths, end conditions and coatings, including diamond, based on customer inputs. Cutting diameters as small as 0.005" (0.127mm) can be configured from an array of fractional or metric carbide blanks.

Gear component manufacturers can easily achieve break-in lubricity, robust corrosion protection and galling resistance on critical components. Birchwood Technologies’ TRU TEMP low-temperature, black-oxide process meets demanding finishing requirements while creating a non-dimensional finish, maintaining the same material hardness and load-bearing properties.

Midwest Industrial Tool Grinding Inc. has released the newest edition of the standard tool catalog. The largest edition published by MITGI, the catalog includes more than 8,700 tools, an increase of 57 percent over the 2015 offering.
