They are now an authorized systems integrator of ABB robots.
Strausak Names New President
Joe Kane now leads their precision grinding business.
Futura Automation Adds Regional Manager
George Wilken handles sales and support of aerospace, automotive, medical and general manufacturing customers in Southern California.
Blade Runners
The operating profile of how electricity is produced is changing, but one thing has not changed: turbines remain a critical centerpiece of the next generation of power plants currently under construction, as well as those planned for the future.
CNC Milling & CAD Training Videos
The Training Professor Video Series from BobCAD-CAM covers basic programming techniques, then advances into gouge checking, adaptive toolpath programming, tapered thread milling and other complex applications.
Modular Systems for Custom Profile Machining
Special modular systems from Suhner can be created for complete profile machining applications of various large volume parts or long sections from multiple sides that often fit poorly or not at all on standard machine tools.
Next Generation Slant-Bed CNC Lathes for Quick Turnaround Jobs
SL-II Series CNC lathes from Milltronics are fast, accurate and affordable true slant bed CNC lathes with robust roller guideways for superior accuracy and heavy cutting that anyone in a small to medium size shop can run to get jobs out the door in a hurry.
Flexible 5-Axis HMC For High Productivity and Absolute Precision
The FP 4000 5-axis horizontal machining center from Heller Machine Tools uses twin drives in the Z axis for heavy duty cutting, combined milling and drilling operations, or 5-sided machining in a single setup for contract manufacturing or tool and die work where 5-axis milling is needed for productivity and process dependability.
Innovative, Compact HMC With Column Traverse Structure
The KIWA-Japan Triple H40 Horizontal Machining Center with a Column Traverse Structure from Methods Machine Tools supports the flexible mounting of various fixtures and rotary tables based on the application.
Effective Drilling of Complex Hole Patterns
The redesigned DeHoff 2072TC gundrilling machine with 5-axis capability from Kays Engineering mounts a gundrilling spindle on a traveling column for X-axis and Y-axis movement, with a CAT 40 spindle mounted on the traveling column for secondary milling and tapping operations.
