Highly Productive Manufacturing of Gears with CNC Turning Centers
The gear hobbing unit from WTO makes it possible to manufacture gears with different geometries and requirements on a turning center. Its counter support is removable so that the cutting area is easy to reach and changing the cutting tool is fast.
Effective Machining of Heat Resistant Super Alloy Materials
JX1, JP2, and new JX3 inserts from NTK Cutting Tools use Bidemics material for increased toughness to effectively machine heat resistant super alloy materials like Inconel 718 and Rene 65 at speeds of 1,600 SFM for increased productivity.
Easy, Fast and Safe Way to Hold Round or Cylindrical Workpieces
For quicker, safer tool changes and suitable for tapped holes or T-slots, the Multi-Quick 60 S Clamp and Multi-Quick 100 S Clamp from Lenzkes offer a horizontal and vertical adjustable ranges and high clamping pressures with low torque.
Increase Machine Utilization with Advanced Tool Presetting and Inductive Shrink Fit Systems
Microset tool presetting machines from Haimer reduce set up times by up to 70 percent and streamline tool setting processes with accuracy and process reliability from one operator to the next. Their Power Clamp machines provide 360 deg gripping torque with repeatable balance at the touch of a button.
CBN Abrasive for Difficult-To-Finish Materials
To Flex-Hone difficult-to-finish materials such as high nickel alloy steels, Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene, cubic boron nitride abrasive from Brush Research combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness for optimum surface finishing.
Effective Cutting of Structurals and Bundles
Using triple-tempered, high speed M-42 cobalt steel teeth with an alloy steel backing strip, the Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blade from Starrett dissipates stress during cutting for less tooth breakage, longer blade life and minimized pinching when cutting structurals and bundles.
Engaging the Next Generation of Band Saw Users
To prepare for the next generation of sawing operations, Simonds Saw uses a loyalty program to uncover the skills their users wish to acquire, understand the ways they learn best, and better recognize what types of innovative products best serve their needs.
Ultrafast Cutting of a Wide Range of Metals
The coating technology on the Armor VP band saw blade from LENOX protects the blade teeth from heat for extremely fast cutting rates and longer blade life needed by steel service centers and metal fabricators competing in aerospace, oil and gas, defense and other industries.
Bandsaw Blade for Cutting High Nickel Alloys, Rene-Type Materials and Super Alloys
Part of a wide range of horizontal and vertical cutting systems for general purpose and production cutting applications from Bahco, the Wavy Bandsaw Blade is ideal for high productivity and improved accuracy in tough cutting applications.
