Expanded Capabilities for Swiss-Style Lathe Applications
As opportunities for Swiss-type lathe applications increase, Hardinge expands their Swiss-type workholding systems to meet the high precision demands of different industries for quickly and effectively machining complex, high accuracy, long and slender finished parts from stock fed through a guide bushing.
Turning Software with Powerful Toolpaths and Techniques
Mastercam 2019 Lathe from CNC Software provides a variety of techniques to turn all parts exactly as they are needed, from accepting and programming any CAD file to Dynamic roughing and precision finishing.
Quick-Change Tooling Maximizes Turning Center Potential for Job Shop
To meet increasingly demanding market requirements, Anthony Machine uses KM quick-change tooling from Kennametal for shorter setup times, greater flexibility and higher levels of machine utilization on their universal turning centers.
Higher Speeds, Longer Tool Life for Interrupted Hard-Part Turning
CB7125 and CB7135 grades from Sandvik Coromant are ideal for removing hardened layers while turning shaft splines and shafts with chamfered oil holes or pockets, longitudinal turning of gears and shafts with unchamfered keyways or pockets, CV joint components such as the inner/outer race and cage, gear facing and hard-to-soft turning of crown wheels.
Power Chuck for Advanced Turning Center Spindles
The compact, lightweight DURO-A RC power chuck with a quick jaw-change system from Röhm reduces setup times considerably and boasts centrifugal force compensation for fast speeds and feeds that unlock the full potential of turning centers with integrated spindle motor technology.
Cut Faster, Last Longer When Turning the Most Challenging Materials
TS2000 and TS2500 grades for heat-resistant alloys from Seco Tools boost surface quality on machined parts and provide a more consistent tool life while machining heat resistant materials, superalloys and titanium alloys used in aerospace, power generation and biomedical engineering.
Next Generation Spindle Alignment for Lathes, Turning Centers
Remarkably easy to use, extremely fast and highly accurate, compact and versatile L-702 and L-702SP spindle alignment lasers from Hamar Lasers reduce tooling costs, scrap rates and downtime to increase throughput, cut costs and boost productivity.
How to Reduce Life-Threatening Lathe Injuries
Simple to install and use, the automatic sanding belt holder from Rockford Systems enables lathe operators to sand, polish and debur while keeping hands away from rotating parts and at safe operating distance away from the spinning shaft, eliminating risk and helping to prevent entanglement.
Turning on the Digital Factory
New functions with simplified ISO code programming in the Sinumerik 828D mid-range CNC with version 4.8 operating software from Siemens improve the speed, precision and safety of intermediate CNC turning, milling and grinding machines.
Lathe Control Turns New Functions on Complex Parts
The CNC Pilot 640 contouring control from Heidenhain is perfect for lathe applications of complex parts because it combines simple operation with 5-axis simultaneous machining, combined turn-mill operation, full surface machining with B-axis and counter spindle, and asynchronous multi-side machining.
Machine Highly Complex Parts from Bar Stock Complete in No Time
The Tsugami SS38MH-5AX sliding headstock lathe with B-axis from Tsugami/Rem Sales offers full 5-axis machining with a FANUC 31i-B5 control.
Turning the Corner on Demanding Precision Jobs
Methods Machine Tools offers the Nakamura-Tome SC-300IIMYB multitasking turning center for machining difficult, high-hardness materials with extremely high accuracy, the Tornos Multi-Swiss 8×26 automatic lathe and the Tornos SwissNano for very high precision machining of complex small parts.
