Tooling & Workholding
Filter by Process Zone:
MICRON PRECISION FOR DRILLING, REAMING, AND LINE BORING
The TENDOzero toolholder from Schunk is equipped with four lateral set-screws that directly affect the tool shank, the angular position of the tool is corrected and run-out is precisely adjusted to carry out tight tolerances of shape, position, and surface quality quickly and reliably.
WORKHOLDING ROTARY TABLES AND INDEXING DEVICES
These Ganro tables from CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies rotate and index small to large workpieces for manual or automated 4-axis and 5-axis vertical and horizontal applications. By accessing multiple workpiece faces in one clamping, they improve workpiece accuracy and reduce manufacturing cycle times.
COMPREHENSIVE WORKHOLDING AND MATERIAL HANDLING CATALOG
This one-stop shop from Fixtureworks includes full product lines from popular brands, including Fairlane® Products, Swivots®, Quick Release, Kipp®, Imao®, OK-Vise®, Mitee-Bite®, Modern Industries and more.
EXTENDED ADAPTERS, SHRINK-FIT ADAPTERS
Type 02 extended adapters from Exsys Tool position the tooling closer into a spindle or chuck, while their Shrink-Fit adapters deliver 100 percent clamping and connectivity around the entire tool shank diameter for holding power, rigidity and accuracy.
COOLANT THRU TOOL HOLDERS
Ideal for Swiss type machining, these tool holders from GenSwiss deliver coolant through the shank for optimal insert lubrication and cooling, as well as longer cutting tool life.
Shorter Setup Times with Quick Jaw Change Chuck
With the ROTA THWplus chuck from Schunk a complete jaw set can be changed in less than 60 seconds with a repeatability of less than 0.0005 in, which eliminates the need to re-bore jaws.
2012 State of the Industry: Tooling
Forecast: Look for the strong demand in high-end, high-tolerance applications to continue growing well into the future as increased demands surface for the next generation of tooling, aircraft and medical devices, where tolerances will be tighter than ever.
2012 State of the Industry: Cutting Tools
Forecast: Creative metal-cutting tactics abound as shops focus on optimizing their manufacturing processes to tackle notable growth in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
2012 State of the Industry: Robotics
Forecast: Very strong opportunities to expand into job shops and smaller manufacturers, along with continued strength in the traditional automotive, agricultural, heavy equipment and aerospace sectors.
Composite Hub Wheel Brushes
NamPower composite hub wheel brushes from Brush Research Manufacturing are used in the production of turbine blades, steel gears, machine parts, and cam shaft and cutting tool inserts.
Hero Emerges in Oilfield Product Machining
Raised Eyebrows: Even with HEM toolpaths, success in machining at Kline Oilfield Equipment still turns on a general purpose end mill from IMCO Carbide Tool.
Tooling Manufacturer Thrives With Sophisticated Vending System
When Pentagon EMS originally started talking about purchasing a tool crib, several employees thought the end of the world had arrived, assuming they would spend all day trying to get tooling out of the machine. But they quickly discovered the CAP 1000T vending system from MSC Industrial Supply takes only 30 seconds to log in and get their tool.
