The showcase event of manufacturing technology in the Southwest U.S. takes place February 26-28 in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas . . . and this special Show-in-Print provides technical reviews of some of the machinery, tooling, systems and accessories that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.
Disc Milling Inserts and Cutter Bodies for Reliability and High Performance
The 335.14 small-diameter exchangeable head system, 335.16 cutter for T-slot operations and cassette versions of the 335.25 cutter that incorporate round inserts from Seco Tools meet a wide range of customer demands for reliability and high performance machining operations.
Carbide and High-Speed Steel Tool Enhancement
Drag finishers from Bel Air can extend tool life by as much as 300 percent as an all-in-one system for cutting tool edge preparation and polishing needs.
PCD Milling Cutter for Efficient Machining of Aluminum
The Monoblock PCD Milling Cutter from Lach Diamond uses Cool Injection-Plus for cooling directly via the PCD cutting insert to achieve perfect surface quality and part accuracy, with reduced cycle times of 50 percent and more.
Eliminate Individual Torque Wrenches for Tool Assembly
A built-in torque meter in the TORCO-BLOCK tool assembly assistant from REGO-FIX eliminates the need for an individual torque wrench for every toolholder, as well as the detrimental results of excessive runout that results from over torquing.
Through-Coolant System for Radial Grooving Applications
The SE grooving and part-off system from ARNO optimizes turning, grooving, parting-off and copy turning operations.
Soft Top Jaws with Hard-to-Find Pitches for Consistent Part Clamping
Dillon can manufacture virtually any serration, including 2 mm x 60 deg and 2.5 mm x 60 deg serrations for hard-to-find top jaws, hard jaws, and full grip jaws that fit the corresponding chuck master jaws of the same hard-to-locate pitch.
Self-Tuning Mass Damper Improves Machined Part Quality, Increases Productivity, Saves Energy
Using the STMD tool holder from MAQ, parts manufacturers, machine tool builders and cutting tool manufacturers can reduce cycle time and cost of ownership by 30 percent, decrease tooling costs by 5-10 percent, cut energy consumption by 2-3 percent and curtail scrap output by 1-2 percent.
