Metal Cutting Showcase
Take a closer look at some of the latest advances in metal cutting equipment that might help you increase productivity, improve quality and reduce costs.
Long-Lasting Double-Cut Carbide Burrs Increase Stock Removal
For high stock removal and smaller, granular chip-break on hard-to-grind stainless steel, steel, cast steel and composites, Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs from Saint-Gobain Abrasives are ideal for efficiently removing surface stock and weld splatter, deburring and chamfering applications with fewer changeovers.
Next Generation Honing of Engine Blocks, Liners and Parts
The SV-30 cylinder hone from Sunnen features automatic step-and-repeat capability for in-line and V-block engine configurations that produces ideal bore roundness and surface finish in a variety of part types and materials at an affordable price.
Machine Highly Complex Geometries with Fewer Setups and Less Operations
For large parts weighing up to 880 lb, the versatile a500Z 5-axis horizontal machining center from Makino maximizes both metal removal rates and perishable tool life through unparalleled system rigidity.
Extreme Positioning Flexibility for Machining Complex Parts in a Single Setup
The highly versatile UMC-750P machining center from Haas quickly positions parts to nearly any angle for 5-sided (3+2) machining, full simultaneous 5-axis motion for contouring and complex machining, or more traditional tombstone machining like a HMC.
Flexible Goes Adaptive in FMS
Next-generation flexible manufacturing systems from Fastems fulfill the growing needs of shops to handle shorter product lifecycles, higher product mixes and lower volumes.
Y-Axis Horizontal Turning Center for Tough-to-Machine Materials
For unprecedented rigidity and accuracy, active thermal compensation in the high productivity PUMA 2600 SY II from Doosan Machine decreases deformation up to 70 percent and a built-in spindle minimizes vibration with better acceleration and a smooth, fast ramp-up.
Program Conversationally, But Cut Like a Boss
ChipBoss CAM software from Milltronics lets conversational program users take advantage of the latest trochoidal machining strategies to reduce cycle times up as 50 percent with 3X to 5X better tool life.
Ultimate One-and-Done Multi-Axis Machining
To increase the profitability of machining fluid ends, gate valves, drill bits and pump housings used in oil and gas applications, the Heckert DBF 630 six-axis machining center from Starrag turns, mills, bores, drills and threads complete parts in one set-up.
