TURNING INSERTS FOR STAINLESS STEEL
Kennemetal, Inc. has developed new UP turning inserts for its Kenna Perfect turning system in order to offer improved turning geometry for demanding stainless steel applications. The new design offers improved chip control in 300-series stainless steels and provides a soft cutting action, resulting in lower cutting forces.
INTERRUPTED CUTTING OF HARDENED STEELS
Sumitomo’s new PcBN premium grade BNC300 features a ceramic-based coating and machines hardened steels with interrupted cuts. The BNC300’s tough PcBN substrate, combined with a TiAIN ceramic gold coating, result in extended tool life in interrupted turning applications.
SLIDING HEADSTOCK TURNING CENTER MEETS GENERAL ENGINEERING DEMANDS
Tornos (Lombard, IL) offers the Sigma 20 Pursuit, a sliding headstock turning center specifically designed to meet the demands of the North American general engineering industry.
POWER AND ULTRA-PRECISION MOLD WORK
Machine tool supplier GBI Cincinnati (Cincinnati, OH) built a reputation on providing customer-driven solutions to a broad array of precision milled-part challenges. The Feeler VM Series is yet another step in providing these solutions ever more flexibly.
EXTREMELY FAST & VERSATILE SWISS TURNING CENTERS FOR HIGH VOLUMES
Methods Machine Tools (Sudbury, MA) introduces the new Maier MLK 125 Linear Automatic Series of Swiss-type turning centers that are ideal for the accurate, high volume production of parts for electronic component manufacturing and a broad range of other small part applications.
NEW ND:YVO4 LASER MARKER
Miyachi Unitek (Monrovia, CA) introduces the new LMV700 diode pumped Laser Marker, specifically designed as a cost-effective high quality marker. The Marker is configured with a single expander and a focus lens combination selected to cover most marking applications and two software options that offer basic alphanumeric marking as well as more advanced marking functions.
CHIP AND PARTS CONVEYORS ARE VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE
Machine Tool Dream: Ideal for moving and elevating ferrous materials such as chips, turnings, small parts and stampings.
MINI CLAMP VISES ARE PERFECT FOR MULTI-FACE MACHINING
Mold Making Delight: Ideal for machining complicated workpieces in a single clamping operation.
PRECISION CENTERS OFFER UNPARALLELED SPEED, ACCURACY AND RIGIDITY
The YBM7T and YBM8T are the newest additions to the YBM Series of Precision Centers from Yasda Precision America Corporation (Elk Grove Village, IL). They are constructed for optimum accuracy and speed in small and mid-size parts and die/mold machining.
HIGH-SPEED, PRECISION HOLEMAKING IN TOUGH ALLOYS
Mitsui Seiki (Franklin Lakes, NJ) has launched the VLD-300, a small, vertical, Nd:YAG laser drilling machine for 12 in cube parts (300 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm in X-, Y-, Z-axes). This machine was developed collaboratively with several aerospace engine component manufacturers who expressed a need for a higher-speed and more accurate laser-drilling machine than what was currently available on the market.
NEW STANDARD IN HIGH PERFORMANCE MACHINING
The Mikron HPM 600 HD high performance machining center from GF AgieCharmilles (Lincolnshire, IL) offers dynamic, three-axis milling, high spindle speeds up to 20,000 rpm and exceptional chip removal rates.
