Filter by Process Zone:
Zero Point Clamping Reduces Set-Up Times Up to 90 percent
The SMW Autoblok APS zero point clamping system from Huron Machine Products significantly reduces downtime costs and provides more versatility for turning, milling, measuring or grinding operations.
How Zero Point Clamping Increases Machine Tool Spindle Utilization
Ideal for machining individual parts and small batches, these systems drastically shorten idle time by precisely connecting workpieces, vices, pallets or devices with the machine table within seconds.
Flexible Sealed Chuck for Bar, Bar Stock and Shaft Clamping
The only sealed chuck of its kind with a large through hole, the BP Series Chuck from SMW Autoblok combines the flexibility of a standard open center power chuck with the long life and precision of a sealed chuck to maintain a constant grip force for excellent repeatability and consistency, as well as safer operation.
Portal/Overhead Five-Axis Gantry Milling
Droop+Rein portal, gantry and overhead gantry vertical 5-axis milling centers from Starrag process everything from high speed machining to heavy-duty cutting in aerospace, energy, transportation, and general industrial applications.
Dovetail Machine-Ready Blanks for Five-Axis Machining
Dovetail Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals are ready to load directly into dovetail workholding fixtures on 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers.
Gantry Machining Centers Effectively Process Large, Complex Parts
Specifically developed for 5-axis machining of large parts for aerospace, automotive, mold making and energy applications, the DMU 200 Gantry and DMU 340 Gantry from DMG MORI provide large work areas with the smallest floor space requirement.
High Performance Machining of the Most Difficult-to-Cut Materials
The unique rotary table design and exceptionally rigid machine structure of the YASDA YBM 7Ti 5-axis CNC horizontal jig borer with a two-position automatic pallet changer from Methods Machine Tools is ideal for machining titanium, Inconel and other heat-resistant materials.
Innovative Software Functions that Improve 5-Axis Machining Strategies
New capabilities in VISI CAD/CAM, Edgecam 2018 R2 and WorkNC from Vero Software radically increase modeling and toolpath efficiencies.
Laser Machining of Complex Parts from Diamond and Composite Materials
For 3D toolmaking and aerospace work, the 5-axis LCS 305 Laser MicroJet cutting system from Synova cuts and shapes large and multi-tooth diamond tools, resulting in smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges for PCD, SCD, natural diamond, tungsten carbide or other ultra-hard materials.
Effectively Machine Parts for Both Internal Combustion and Electric Automobiles
Through wide flexibility to efficiently handle demanding higher mix, lower volume production, PCI Meteor horizontal machining centers from Absolute Machine Tools meet the requirements of high performance automotive production lines.
Five-Axis Machining of Hard Metals
For shops that require precision machining of steel, titanium, hard alloys and more, these five-axis machining systems and tooling offer higher reliability, longer tool life, improved part quality with an optimal finish, and higher profits on each job.
Static Eliminator is CE, UL and RoHS Certified
For removing dust, particulates and personnel shocks on pipe, extrusions, wire and more, the Gen4 Super Ion Air Wipe from EXAIR provides a uniform 360 deg ionized airstream that clamps around a continuously moving part to eliminate static electricity and contaminants.
