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.
MecWash Systems introduces the Midi, a fully automatic, highly customizable, self-contained aqueous cleaning system that reportedly meets the highest aerospace cleanliness and inspection standards.
Hypertherm's Centricut brand today announced the release of new consumables for PerCut 210M and 450M torches found on all new and upgraded Kjellberg HiFocus systems.
No. 875 is a gas-fired, 1600°F (about 871°C) specialty furnace from Grieve, currently used for burning off hydrocarbons from machined alloy components at the customer's facility.
One of the most fundamental keys to running an efficient and cost-effective plant is having the right tool in the right place at the right time. While the cost of a milling or turning insert may range from a few dollars to significant investment, not having that tool available when needed can shut down an entire production line or more, resulting in missed delivery dates and lost profits. That is why tooling technology leader Kennametal Inc. is announcing new expansions of its ToolBOSS tool-management system.
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.
Industrial Magnetics Inc. has expanded its line of Transporter LP magnetic end-of-arm tooling, designed to magnetically transfer metal blanks, stampings and parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer and robotic pick-and-place applications.
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. announces the OTT/JAKOB Analog Position Monitoring System with the Electronic Analog Sensor, which allows you to monitor your drawbar for performance and wear.
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.
