Filter by Process Zone:
TOOL CLAMPING FOR THE SMALLEST DIAMETERS
SCHUNK enters a ?mini? dimension with TRIBOS Mini toolholders and SVL extensions that can clamp diameters as small as 0.3 mm (0.012 in) and eliminate the need for many special cutting tools with larger tool shanks.
AFFORDABLE HYDRAULIC PRESSES REPLACE OLDER C-FRAME PRESSES
Kingsland offers 80 ton and 110 ton hydraulic presses built to ANSI B11.5 standards, with a compact footprint and improved safety features that can replace older C-frame presses.
SOFTWARE REDUCES TOOLPATH LENGTH MACHINING CYCLE TIMES
VoluMill? 3.5 from Celeritive Technologies has several enhancements, including Freeway Linking? that lifts the tool slightly off the floor of the part and detours it at high speed around obstacles along a smooth path.
ALLOY 330 PLATE AND FLAT BAR FOR HIGH TEMP HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS
Penn Stainless Products offers 330 Plate and Processed Flat Bar that is ideal for demanding, high-temperature, high-pressure applications in chemical and petrochemical processing, thermal processing, ore processing, and power generation.
PRESS BRAKE FOR BENDING LONG HEAVY PLATE PARTS
The Xpert press brake from Bystronic uses automatic frame deflection compensation, pressure reference technology, dynamic hydraulic crowning of the lower beam, dynamic pressure regulation, automatic tool protection and material thickness measurement compensation to achieve exceptional part quality.
MODULAR CMM CAN BE CONFIGURED TO APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
The measuring technology of the versatile multi-sensor-capable ACCURA 3D coordinate measuring machine from Carl Zeiss can be configured for cut, shaped or molded parts, plastic or steel.
LOW-COST SENSORS FOR ALMOST ANY PRESENCE DETECTION
SICK launches Z Photoelectric Sensors and the next generation of ELF photoelectric sensors, all rated for harsh environments and offered in a choice of standard front mount or a spherical ball mount.
TAPS FOR PRECISION THREADS IN STEEL STAINLESS STEEL
WIDIA-GTD? HSS-E taps are manufactured to both ANSI and DIN standards to excel in conventional tap holders with square drive or precision round tool holders and use a high cobalt content that offers greater heat resistance and improved tool life.
INSERTS IMPROVE MACHINING OF STAINLESS, HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS AND SUPER ALLOYS
SGE inserts from Kennametal use innovative micro-geometry to increase feed capabilities by up to 25 percent and extend tool life 35 percent longer in aerospace, automotive, energy/power generation, medical, food processing, chemical processing, and die/mold applications.
3-TURRET MULTITASKING TURNING CENTERS INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY, CAPACITY
The Nakamura-Tome NTY3 Jumbo Super Mill 90 mm 16-station turret and NTY3 Jumbo Standard 100 mm 12-station turret multitasking turning centers from Methods Machine Tools use 100 percent stock-on turning and machining to virtually eliminate lost productivity due to tool changes.
LONGER BLADE LIFE LESS WASTE WHEN CUTTING CAST IRON
The patent-pending Diamond blade design from Lenox produces a straight, clean cut for joining cast iron pipe and doubles blade life when cutting cast iron so the user can flip the blade and continue working, rather than having to change blades.
HELICAL CUTTERS INCREASE MILLING VERSATILITY AND PERFORMANCE
Mill 1-14? helical cutters from Kennametal provide greater axial depth-of-cut with little added cost for medium to heavy roughing and semi-finishing in contour profiling, slotting, ramping, helical ramping from solid, and plunge milling.
