For more than a decade, we at Fabricating & Metalworking Online have carried stories on the latest machines and equipment to hit the market. Take a look at our latest updates, go back in our archives to see what we’ve written about in the past.
Filter by Process Zone:
Laser Measures Wide Range of Hard-to-Reach Surfaces
Optical Gauging Products’ multisensor TeleStar Plus laser measures a wide range of materials and surface textures with extremely high accuracy. Its through-the-lens (TTL) design eliminates offset between the optical and laser sensors.
Surface Measurement for Non-Metrologists
OmniSurf3D from Digital Metrology Solutions helps users understand and communicate about surface texture without requiring a great deal of mathematical interpretation or metrology knowledge. The software provides the ability to interact with data from virtually any surface measurement instrument.
Improved Probe Provides Shop-Floor Measurements
Automated Precision’s portable vProbe performs CMM-style measurements on the shop floor and is more versatile than a portable-arm coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Next-Generation Square Shoulder Cutter
Seco Tools’ Turbo 16 square shoulder cutter inserts are the company’s first products with data matrix tags. The scannable codes store product and batch information, and can be read by the Seco Assistant smartphone app.
Cost-Efficient Small-Diameter, High-Feed Face Milling Cutter
Four-edged inserts help Sandvik Coromant’s CoroMill 415 face milling cutter reduce cost per component and increase productivity via a high metal removal rate. An E-M30 geometry complements M-M30 geometry assortment.
Inserts with Two CBN Tips Double Efficiency
Two tips on Lach Diamond’s CBN-Duo-power inserts are finished with type B610 or type B600 cubic boron nitride (CBN) to increase productivity when turning automotive components out of materials such as case-hardened steels and powder-metal alloys.
PCD Round Tools for High-Efficiency Aluminum Machining
Kennametal is leveraging its experience with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tooling for the automotive industry to provide cost-competitive and highly productive drills, reamers, and end mills for aluminum machining.
Increase Profitability in Square Shoulder and Face Milling
Featuring square double-sided inserts with eight cutting edges, Iscar’s Neodo family of 90-degree indexable milling cutters enables face and shoulder milling in steel and cast iron as well as milling close to shoulders where there are workpiece or workholding fixture constraints.
Reliably Machine Threads In Stainless and Acid-Resistant Steels
The Hoffmann Group’s Garant Master Tap INOX taps are available in inch sizes as well as metric threads with a longer design for increased reach and for all thread standards.
Best of Both Worlds: Carbide’s Strength and Ceramic’s Speed
The phase-hardened ceramic substrate on Greenleaf’s XSYTIN-360 end mills provides ultra-high strength and wear resistance at twice the feed rate of carbide end mills when slotting, pocketing, and profiling high-temperature alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials.
New Tooling Cuts Shop’s Machining Costs By Almost Two-Thirds
A Tier 2 automotive supplier wasn’t getting the most possible out of its vertical machining center until the shop tooled up with the TOP-Cut VAR end mill and FPC milling/drilling chuck from Emuge.
Economical Face Milling Of Stainless Steel
Featuring the greatest number of cutting edges available for positive inserts, Dormer Pramet’s S450E double-positive 45-degree milling cutter allows the same cutter body to be used with octagonal inserts for face milling and round inserts for face/copy milling.
