Cost-Effective Tool Grinding for Re-Sharpening Sector
United Grinding focuses on the re-sharpening sector of the rotationally symmetrical tool market with its versatile Walter Helitronic Raptor. It’s the solution for shops that don’t need automatic tool support systems and automatic grinding wheel changers – but where high flexibility is required in the work area for diverse tool types.
Laser Line Ultra Simplifies Micro Cutting Tool Production
United Grinding’s Laser Line Ultra uses an 8-axis configuration and picosecond lasers to machine complex micro geometries in cutting tools regardless of the material’s hardness.
CNC Gear Hobbing Machine
Helios Gear Products introduces YG Tech’s Helios Hera 150 CNC machine to North America. The easy-to-program machine provides compact vertical hobbing for gears up to 6 inches (150 mm) in diameter.
Burr-Free Cutoff Machining
Available for both electrochemical (ECG) and abrasive applications, Glebar’s Tridex CS1-E cutoff machine uses an electrochemical reaction to produce burr-free cuts on tubing from 0.012 inches to 3.15 inches in diameter.
Microgrinder for Medical Devices, Instruments
Glebar’s CAM.3 is designed for the manufacture of guidewires with flats, multiple tapers, hex shapes, and other complex geometries as well as K wires, bone pins, orthopedic and sports medicine implants, instruments, and single-use disposable products 0.005 inches to 0.375 inches in diameter.
KV Tooling Wins First Place in ANCA’s Tool of the Year Competition
Entries were judged on surface finish, specified nominal tolerance, tightest tolerance, and level of complexity.
ANCA Updates ToolRoom RN34 Software
In addition to several new tool types, the package reduces setup time from hours to 5 minutes via a new tool-balancing feature and provides an intuitive interface for creating complex endmill geometries that minimize chatter. For example, the constant-helix ballnose option is replaced by a graphical drag-and-drop designer with optimized irregular helix curves to reduce vibration and near-instant visualization by switching from 2D to 3D projection of the cutting edge.
HIRE FOR YOUR FACTORY’S FUTURE
How to develop and nurture your own innovation hub.
DYNABRADE INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF ALUMINUM HOUSING POWER TOOLS
Strong housing is machined from a single piece of aluminum bar stock.
Gear Manufacturer Achieves Consistent Quality with Automated Robotic Cell
An adaptive-finishing solutions developer combined an ABB robot, Renishaw spindle probe with radio signal transmission, and a twin-pallet system into a system that machines one gear while another is loaded.
Vision System Simplifies Tool Detection and Alignment
Released by United Grinding North America and Walter Tool, a measurement system for advanced grinding/eroding machines helps manufacturers optimize production of small, high-precision parts by automatically detecting and aligning tools, blanks, and other workpieces.
Two-in-One Machine Grinds and Erodes
One of the two spindles on Vollmer’s VHybrid 360 can be used to grind and erode while the other spindle grinds. Manufacturers save time by machining solid carbide or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) drills, milling cutters, and reamers in one set-up.
