Turning Options for Every Cast Iron Application
The addition of the AC405K and the AC415K grades from Sumitomo Electric Carbide rounds out turning options for every cast iron application.
Flexible, Sealed Collet Heads Achieve High Accuracy and Reduce Setup
OmniGrip Collet Systems from Forkardt interchange in seconds with spindle mounts for quick changeover of most brands of CNC lathes and the same gripping capability as conventional collets while using less draw bar force.
Greater Flexibility With Exchangeable Head Coupling
This exchangeable head coupling from Sandvik Coromant uses a self-centering screw thread for secure mounting and maximum strength and security for long reach extensions used to mill 0.394 in to 1.26 in diameters and bore 0.394 in to 1.42 in diameters.
Next-Generation Wire EDM Addresses Skilled Labor Shortage
Using HyperCut technology and Hyper-i control, U3 and U6 wire EDMs from Makino enable novice operators to program and produce leading-edge part finishes in the most complex feature geometries.
Internal / Universal Cylindrical Grinder Increases Shop Capabilities
The Studer CT550 from United Grinding Technologies is ideal for small- to medium-sized internal cylindrical grinding of die plates, spring collets, tool holding fixtures, hydraulic components, and thread ring gauges composed of hard materials like tool steel, carbide, ceramics and glass.
VMC for Small Job Shops or High Production
The F650 Value Master from Hyundai WIA uses a 25 hp, 10,000 rpm spindle for deep cuts at high speeds and Thru Spindle Coolant for deep hole drilling.
Universal Vertical Thread Grinder for Precision Lead Screw Type Parts
The VGE60A universal vertical thread grinder from Mitsui Seiki USA performs thread, spline, gear, OD, surface, and edge grinding operations in a single setup.
Produce Accurate Aircraft Parts in Single Setups
The VARIAXIS j-500 5X vertical machining center from Mazak provides cost effective and efficient single-machine part processing in titanium, hard metals and aluminum via fast, powerful high-rigidity spindles as well as a high-accuracy rotary/tilt table.
Collet-Ready CNC Turning Center for Soft/Hard Turning
The T42 T42SP MSY SUPER-PRECISION® turning center from Hardinge achieves overall axis repeatability of .76 micron, part roundness of .25 micron and part surface finish of .15 micron.
Advanced Cylindrical Grinding of Tool Room, Batch or High Volume Production
Inexperienced operators appreciate the simple setups of the Suprema 1000M cylindrical grinding machine from Jones and Shipman that uses manual, semi or fully automatic control of grinding and dressing cycles.
Production Milling/Turning Large Workpieces with an HMC
The CP 8000 5-axis mill-turn center from Heller Machine Tools is ideal for machining predominantly cubic parts, particularly when the rotationally symmetric length/diameter ratio of the components is less than 1.
Vertical Machining Center is Ideal for Mold Making
The VMX6030i from Hurco uses an UltiMotion® motion system with travels of 30 in Y-axis, 60 in X-axis, 24 in Z-axis on a working table surface of 66.14 in x 30 in.
