Flap Discs Grind and Finish Aluminum In One Step
Lawson Products’ nonloading Blue-Kote flap disc incorporates aluminum oxide grain for excellent grinding and smooth, scratch-free finishing. The long-lasting disc reduces costs by saving process time and eliminating the need for product changeover.
Belt Grinder with Easy-to-Reposition Head
All an operator needs to change the grinding head on the BG448 from Kalamazoo Industries from vertical to horizontal (or any position between) is an Allen wrench. Insert wrench in holes on the contact wheel, loosen the socket head cap screws slightly, tilt head, and re-secure.
Defined Chamfering Deburrs Gear Teeth In Seconds
To enable high-volume gear production, Horn USA will develop a carbide milling tool and machining program to produce defined chamfers based on material and gear tooth geometry. The service quickly pays for itself and doesn’t require special workholding.
Single-Piece Hub Design Lengthens Sanding Tool Life
Dynabrade’s replacement pads fit the company’s Dynorbital Extreme and Dynorbital-Spirit random orbital sanders as well as most competitive brands. Co-branding and private label opportunities are available.
Material-Removal Kit for Demanding Robotic Applications
ATI Industrial Automation’s electric RCE-710 has built-in radial compliance with single-axis lockout to facilitate robot programming. Available as a complete end-effector package, the robust tool handles a wide range of material-removal tasks.
Machine Complex Contoured Parts In A Single Setup
In addition to Swiss-style speed and accuracy, Tsugami’s SS327-III-5AX cuts contoured shapes using a servo-driven B-axis that turns the CNC lathe into a multitasking turning center that can drill, tap, and end mill any angle.
One Machine Performs Multiple Processes on Parts Up to 8 Inches in Diameter
Tormach’s 8L lathe provides operators with everything they need to face, turn, bore, groove, and thread 1-inch-diameter materials including stainless steel and titanium. They can add a 3- or 4-jaw chuck to cut the stock for workpieces up to 8 inches in diameter.
Multifunctional Deep-Hole Drilling System
Designed around the BTA deep-hole drilling process in cylindrical parts, Sunnen’s heavy-duty SHDD Series performs similar processes including counterboring, pull boring, trepanning, bottom forming, and skiving/roller burnishing.
Deluxe Vertical-Turret Milling Machine
Palmgren offers a deluxe model of its vibration-free vertical-turret mill that provides the same quality and durability but with digital features including a two-axis readout.
High-Rigidity ATC-Type Multitasking Machine
Featuring a large machining area envelope and short tool spindle, the highly efficient Nakamura-Tome JX-250 mill/turn machining center from Methods Machine Tools allows maximum part length and performs left and right simultaneous machining.
High-Quality Multitasking Turning Centers At An Affordable Price Point
Mazak’s QT-Ez Series turning centers introduce a new machine with new control technology to the North American market. Four configurations offer a wide range of size, automation, and programming options in an easier-to-operate-and-maintain machine.
Drill Press Provides Gear-Driven Power With EVS Control
The geared drive system and electronic variable speed (EVS) motor on JPW Industries’ 20-inch Powermatic PM2820EVS enable the drill press to easily pre-drill and drill for assembly, spindle sanding, fixturing, and countersinking.
