Maximizing cost savings and improving product quality are two of the most critical objectives for machining operations. An effective way to achieve these goals is real-time monitoring of production process quality. The Marposs WRSP60 scanning probe measures the profile and surface of newly worked parts quickly and accurately. The tool can automatically define critical measurements like TIR, roundness, and concentricity for rounded parts with a remarkable repeatability of 0.4 microns. Equipped with radio data transmission, the WRSP60 integrates perfectly in lathes and machining centers.

NSK America introduces CTS-3030, the first high-speed ultra-precision spindle that seamlessly transports coolant through the cutting tool, resulting in superior hole quality and increased productivity. The CTS-3030 Spindle allows for smaller, more manageable chips for better chip flow, spindle accuracy within 1 Micron and eliminates the need for secondary drilling operations.
