RPA Flame Kool from Chemtool Inc. is a moderate-duty, synthetic metalworking fluid formulated for general utilization on plasma cutting tables.

By combining high clamping force and optimized interference levels, Kennametal says its new KM4X100 provides a robust connection, extremely high stiffness, and bending load capacity for greatly improved performance in machining high-strength alloys and other materials.

NUM has extended its market-leading Flexium+ family of CNC kernels with a new hardware configuration option that provides machine tool manufacturers with a cost-effective control solution for small to medium size machines.

The chatter or vibration in metal cutting poses an eternal challenge for manufacturers. The ISCAR products of the latest HIGH QLINE family of cutting tools offer an interesting solution: Indexable Milling Insert with an asymmetric shape.

Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. introduces the Model 1025 air chuck.

FANUC America Corp.'s FANUC CNC Series 30i/31i-L MODEL B high-speed laser controls offer fabricators streamlined efficiency and increased productivity using Ethernet and Ethernet/IP field bus options and newly supported FANUC NCGuide simulation software.

Five-axis machining varies from very small to extremely large and requires the right workholding to obtain optimal machining results and no single workholding option solves all needs, reports Kurt Manufacturing. Part complexity and size requirements coupled with machine capabilities and limitations dictate what workholding works best. To meet these challenges, Kurt has expanded its 5-axis workholding to include 15 different options to provide the solution that reportedly offers a cost-effective platform, high clamping force, high productivity and reduced downtime.

Jones and Shipman introduces their new Suprema 1000M cylindrical grinding machine with productivity enhancements not found in their current 1000mm machine.

In response to customer requests, Stor-Loc has introduced themm33 storage cabinet to its product line.

HEIDENHAIN announces the launch of the straight-cut CNC, the TNC 128.

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.

The ATOS Core series from Capture 3D is the newest addition to the ATOS product line of advanced 3D scanners engineered by GOM.
