MAKE OR BRAKE
Talk about a competitive edge. SolidCAM CAD/CAM software enables Alcon Components to perform continuous 5-axis machining on more complex 3D surfaces, produce more of a part in one operation, and convert design ideas into functional metal components more rapidly than ever before.
How to Select the Right Flap Disc
With all the benefits afforded by flap discs, it is important to know how to select the right one by understanding all the variables and how they apply to your metal fabricating application. Here are the five variables that will help you pick the correct one.
HIGH PRECISION MODULAR BORING TOOLS
These Pinzbohr boring tools from Techniks are built with the quality, reliability, and ease-of-use features machinists need to maximize productivity.
PIN VISE TOOL HOLDERS FOR MINIATURE BRUSHES
Pin vises from Brush Research Manufacturing reduce operator fatigue and improve efficiency by securely holding small diameter miniature deburring brushes when stem diameters are too small for chucking in automated machines.
SINGLE-SOURCE DIE CLAMPING AND CHANGING
The clamping elements from Hilma-Römheld range from simple vices to clamping and locking technology for large presses and wind turbine rotors.
HEAVY-DUTY WORKHOLDING SYSTEM
For larger, heavier work pieces that require beefier locating and clamping hardware from Stevens Engineering these tombstones, two-sided angle plates, angle plates for horizontal spindle applications and subplates for vertical spindle machines can all be sized to meet customer needs.
CHAMFER MILLS FOR INCREASED VERSATILITY
Super Turbo chamfer mills from Seco Tools provide high metal removal rates on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardened materials, high-temperature alloys and non-ferrous materials while reducing production costs, allowing manufacturers to increase the versatility of their operations without additional spare parts.
METALWORKING FLUID FOR MACHINING, GRINDING ON NON-FERROUS, FERROUS METALS
Cimtech 310® low-PH synthetic metalworking fluid from Cimcool Fluid Technology meets the strict requirements of automotive and aerospace manufacturing and is ideal for creep feed grinding on non-ferrous or ferrous metals.
BAND SAW BLADE DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL LIFE ON ALUMINUM AND NON-FERROUS CASTINGS
The Cast Master Band Saw Blade from LENOX uses an optimized rake angle and narrow kerf to reduce the amount of feed pressure, making it ideal for demanding cutting conditions and delivering superior performance in hand-fed foundry applications.
IN-DIE FEEDING SYSTEM INSTALLS FASTENERS DURING THE STAMPING PROCESS
Plug and Play: Working in tandem with a stamping press and properly tooled die, the portable PEMSERTER® In-Die Fastener Feeding System from PennEngineering® eliminates secondary operations typically required for fastener insertions and can easily be moved from press to press as needed on the shop floor.
HYBRID TOOLING FOR PLASTICS AND METAL STAMPING
Three Tools In One Machine: German manufacturer Kummer GmbH & Co. KG used CADCAM software technology from Vero Software to develop a unique sequential laminated injection process that combines both metal stamping and plastic injection molding within a single machine.
Compact Trunnion Rotary Table
The TR160Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas Automation puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.
