Tungaloy Corp. recently expanded its TungSpeed-Mill series with new small-diameter, close-pitch cutters designed for precision machining applications. The expanded lineup includes bore-type cutters in three sizes: ø40 mm (z=8), ø50 mm (z=10) and ø63 mm (z=14). The new cutters feature a steel body construction that balances weight reduction with structural integrity. This design enables the tools to remain under the 3 kg weight limit (including arbor) required for BT30 machine compatibility. The lightweight construction makes these tools particularly suitable for smaller machining centers while maintaining the necessary rigidity for precise cutting operations.

Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions, Mequon, Wisconsin, highlighted its distinctive MunchMan hinged steel Dual-Belt Conveyor at IMTS 2024.  Unique to Jorgensen, the MunchMan conveyor is well-suited for turning and milling applications that produce long, stringy or nested balls of chips and is designed to greatly reduce or eliminate conveyor jamming problems.

The Starrett AVR400 offers full CNC capabilities including X-Y-Z positioning and comprehensive zoom and telecentric lens options. Users can also choose to use motorized manual positioning via a pendant with a joystick and track ball. Equipped with the M3 software package from MetLogix™, a traditional mouse as well as a touchscreen monitor make user interaction easy and intuitive.

TIN Coated Thread Gages have high dimensionally stable HSS construction with TIN coating that increases hardness and wear resistance, which extends lifespan and reduces the frequency of calibrations and replacements, saving time and cost. By minimizing friction, EMUGE TIN Coated Gages offer consistent measurements and precision thread sizing.

SwiftCARB's new SUPERBEE 180° Corner Rounding Series features precision-ground surfaces that ensure exceptional repeatability from insert to insert, according to the company. The series is said to effortlessly switch between radius sizes within the cutter bodies' range.

Mate Precision Technologies, a leading provider of innovative workholding solutions, has introduced a series of new enhancements for its 52/96 zero point workholding system.

The versatility of the Protomar Mini is proven through its application in multi-diameter machines, such as grinders for broaches or turbine blades. What sets it apart from conventional measurement systems is its ability to eliminate the setup and zeroing procedure on a master workpiece for the various diameters across its measuring range. Protomar Mini provides absolute measurements across its 100mm measuring range, eliminating the need or retooling when changing diameters. Operators can achieve exceptional measurement performance with 2.5μm repeatability, ensuring uninterrupted productivity and significant reductions in setup time.

The NVH G-EAR system can identify potential gear defects at the component level prior to gear box assembly. It works on the Single Flank testing principle where one master gear meshes with the component under inspection, detecting macro-geometry (nicks, runout etc.) and micro- geometry (gear mesh excitation, ghost orders) defects that cause gear whine and noise phenomena.

SG SmartCapture software offers a direct PolyWorks Plug-In for streamlined workflow, GD&T measurements and fitting with SmartProfile integration, and STEP file reverse engineering for automatic CAD conversion. Fully supported robotic integration is available for automatic part handling and sorting.

Because of the ground chip breaker on these inserts, the inserts are handed (left hand and right hand insert), but these are standard ISO shapes and sizes- so they are held in conventional ISO turning holders. The inserts also use ‘M’ or maximum material condition tolerance on the corner radii of the cermet, thus allowing for machining of small radius shoulders while utilizing maximum (larger) corner radius strength. The primary application for the WEP01C cermet inserts is turning steels and cast irons (ISO P and ISO K material groups).

SmartBox 2.0 leverages MTConnect technology to deliver real-time manufacturing data, allowing shops to optimize operations, boost efficiency and quickly adapt to changing market conditions. The integration of edge computing addresses the challenges of real-time data processing by combining the benefits of decentralized cloud architectures with the efficiency of local network systems.
