Precision Boring and High Penetration Drilling Tools
Wohlhaupter VarioBore and GEN3SYS XT Pro high penetration drilling tools from Allied Machine & Engineering use enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries and two advanced coatings for the rough drilling of clevis holes in aerospace landing gear applications.
How to Eliminate Stress Risers Caused by the Chamfering
Specialty Chamfer Flex-Hones from Brush Research Manufacturing blend and radius sharp edges and remove microburrs on chamfered holes, eliminating stress risers caused by the chamfering operation.
World-Class Machining with Modular Automation
VL series manufacturing systems from EMAG use modular inverted vertical lathes integrated with an O-automation transport system for efficient precision machining of parts up to 100 mm diameter in a small footprint to reduce floor space costs and create a flexible machine layout.
High Accuracy Piezo Probing for High Precision 5-Axis Machining
Available in optical or radio transmission styles that provide excellent measurement performance on 3D surfaces with repeatability within 0.25 µm, Mida Diamond touch probes from Marposs are Ideal for die and mold, aerospace, aeronautics and biomedical applications.
How to Manage Your Shop from Anywhere, Anytime on Any Device
Using JobBOSS 12.0 ERP shop management system from Exact Software, shop owners can accelerate their business with cloud security, workforce mobility and process flexibility.
Compact, Fast and Accurate Base Holder Reduces Setup and Tool Change Times
Suitable for all standard PSC (Capto) adapters, the Compacto base holder system from EXSYS Tool significantly reduces setup and tool change times for most CNC turning centers and offers improved torque transmission and rigidity for increased tool accuracy.
Versatile, Precise Waterjet Cutting for Large or Multiple Part Jobs
The 80X JetMachining Center with a Tilt-A-Jet cutting head from OMAX cuts virtually any material with no heat affected zone (HAZ) to create tight tolerance, taper-free parts, even from thick material that is difficult or impossible to cut with other cutting methods.
Workholding that Maximizes Machine Tool Potential
Ideal for production, 5-axis and machinist applications, TG GripSerts carbide workholding grippers and TriMax vises from Fixtureworks can maximize a machine tool’s potential with multiple part clamping, quick change components and easy adjustment.
Grinding Systems for the Most Challenging Applications
GCH Machinery, GCH Tool Group and Total Grinding Solutions offer full turnkey grinding systems, including grinder design with machine and process automation.
Never Hand-Enter Part Geometry into Mazatrol Again
GeoSolid software from Griffo Brothers collects data directly from SolidWorks models to automatically enter geometry into Mazatrol and reduce programming time for users.
Advanced Systems for Ultra-Large Measurements
For larger surface coverage and faster data collection, the Leica Absolute Tracker AT403 and ROMER Absolute Arm with an integrated RS4 scanner from Hexagon are ideal for large-scale inspection applications on the factory floor or in remote locations.
