Plex Systems, Inc. (Auburn Hills, MI) recently announced that Waukesha Tool & Stamping, LLC has gone live with all operations on Plex Online. The metalforming manufacturer is utilizing all core POL modules including quoting, EDI (electronic data interchange), project resource…

BOOST PRODUCTIVITY, EFFECIENCY BY MACHINING LIGHTS OUT

Tornos US offers the EC 08. The EC 08 accepts coil stock, eliminating the need for a space-consuming bar feeder and eliminating downtime caused by bar stock changeover. There is also a rotating toolhead that moves around the material in order to produce the desired part, instead of rotating the coil stock itself.

HIGH PERFORMANCE TURNING/MILLING CENTER BOASTS FASTEST CYCLE TIME IN THE INDUSTRY

Methods Machine Tools Inc. offers the Nakamura-Tome WY-250 Multi-Tasking Turning/Milling Center with unsurpassed milling capabilities. An opposed two-spindle, 2-turret construction features a unique upper and lower Y-axis capability for milling or drilling simultaneously on both turrets and a new Super Mill drivetrain producing high horse power and torque for milling speeds up to 6,000 rpm.

TWIN-TURRETS FOR BENCHMARK PRECISION, ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY

Okuma’s LU series demonstrates the cycle time efficiency and ROI gained by using 4-axis machines in a broad spectrum of turning and milling operations. The flexibility of the 4-axis advantage not only affords the user with a variety of approaches to cutting, but can also reduce cutting time by 40 percent. Employing the twin-turret approach means that the V12 upper turret and V8 lower turrets can move the full length of the workpiece to increase the service area of each turret.

SWISS TURNING CENTER FOR SMALL, PRECISE PARTS

Tornos US offers the new Micro 7 CNC Swiss turning center. This modular machine is ideal for parts up to 0.28 in (7 mm) in diameter and has a very small footprint, taking up about the same amount of floorspace as the old screw machines it is designed to replace. The Micro 7 achieves precision of plus or minus 2 microns.

MILLING/TURNING WITH DIRECT DRIVE UP TO 1,200 RPM

DMG offers the DMU 60 FD duoBLOCK®, which presents itself with table rotational speeds of up to 1,200 rpm as a universal and nonetheless highly dynamic milling/turning center for workpieces up to 27.6 in diameter. Maximum workpiece heights: 33.5 mm, max. clamping weight 1,322.8 lb.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY ALL ROLLED INTO ONE

Mazak offers the Integrex® e-Series. These combination machining centers/turning centers are some of the most advanced Multi-Tasking machines in the industry. Complete all operations in a single setup ? turning, milling, boring, drilling, etc. This Done-in-One machining concept can now be applied to small and very complex parts.
