Shops turning a wide range of materials face extreme challenges daily. They know that the most efficient machining means finding the "sweet spot." Too slow may increase attention to detail but also increase opportunities from speedier competitors. Accelerating speeds and feeds may actually lower efficiency if you're using up tooling faster or stopping your turning center more often to clean out stringers. The WIDIA Victory family of turning inserts from WIDIA is announcing new geometries and grades that extend your turning sweet spot by delivering excellent chip flow that results in smooth machining, improved efficiencies, and extended tool life.

The Lee Co.'s new 375 Zero Leak Chek is a miniature check valve featuring a seat with an elastomeric seal to achieve zero leakage.

With rising energy costs, new laws and a new environmental conscience, the topic of energy efficiency of production machinery is increasingly being discussed and influences more and more purchasing decisions. The same holds true for filtration systems designed to clean cooling lubricants in the tool manufacturing process. Distributed by oelheld, the filtration specialist VOMAT prides itself to provide systems that filter in an energy efficient way, saving a lot of operating cost, just as its compact design does, by utilizing less expensive production floor space.

Owing to new processing technologies, 15 years ago, Lach Diamond pioneered to place ;a chipbreaker guide step three-dimensionally as a chipbreaker into the diamond layer of a PCD insert. From this the company developed several variations for their chipbreaker program for the machining of nonferrous metals, especially for aluminum. This became a key element in series and mass manufacturing. The Titan is the patented >>chipbreaker Type IS<< (US Patent 6.315.502).
