The award recognizes the world-class carbide manufacturing facility’s operational excellence, customer focus, and ongoing employee engagement.

Eagerly awaited, IMTS is finally opening its doors again after a forced break due to the pandemic. And during the break, Mikron Tool’s R&D department has been busy developing better ways to machine demanding materials in the micron range. Some of them are "crazy."

Marlor Tooling has been designing and manufacturing cutting tools for more than 20 years. The company has invested in a new linear grinder with robotic loading and RFID technology.

Stalybridge, UK-based engineering company Park Engineering has increased the size of parts it can machine and subsequently measure on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

The Starrag site in Rorschacherberg in Switzerland is synonymous with highly productive, long-lasting machining solutions in the aircraft industry. This is what made this site the perfect choice for the Starrag Competence Center Aerospace.

Plate heat exchangers are found in numerous industrial applications, and essentially use metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Their use is burgeoning as they out-perform conventional heat exchangers (often a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid) as the fluids being cooled are in contact with a much greater surface area, which optimizes the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of temperature change. 

Koma Precision Inc., East Windsor, Conn., has announced a series of executive appointments.

Trochoidal milling within a machine tool is classified as creating a circular machining toolpath with low radial engagement and constant feed per tooth. This results in a reduced chip thickness.
