Mitchell Metal Products Wins Award
They receive the first National Reshoring Award for their efforts in bringing manufacturing back home to the United States.
Automotive Tooling Stays Strong, But Skilled Labor Remains an Issue
Shops with revenue ranges of $10 million to $20 million are experiencing peak capacity utilization rates of 87 percent.
AHB Tooling & Machinery Acquires Division of Westbrook Engineering
Adding the new machinery sales division reinforces their position as a full-service metalworking distributor.
Ceratizit Acquires KOMET
This deal creates one of the top five global players in the international cutting tools market.
Energy Efficient Electro-Mechanical Clamping Reduces Costs
Powered by electricity instead of hydraulics, e-QUIPMENT steadyrests, clamping heads, grippers, cylinder systems (with and without through holes) and tool locking systems from Röhm only require energy during actuation and electrically manage adjustments of clamping forces and strokes during operation.
Modular System Specifically for Direct Workpiece Clamping
With basic modules, clamping modules and stacking modules that can all be freely combined, the VERO-S WDB system from SCHUNK uses clamping pillars with a modular structure to clamp freely-molded parts and other workpieces directly on the machine table without the need of additional equipment.
How Modular Workholding Increases Overall Spindle Utilization
Want to take the headache out of machine setups for high mix runs that are frequently made from tough materials, demand extreme precision and high quality surface finishes? Modular palletized workholding revolutionizes the alignment process by reducing set up times up to 90 percent, providing safe clamping forces, tighter tolerances, and higher transfer repeatability.
Take Hole Boring Efficiency to a New Level
This new bi-metal hole saw from Morse provides a deeper cut depth, improved side slot, and quick and clean proprietary cutting edge.
