Laser micromachining's expanding capabilities

Laser technology was developed in the mid-20th century, and over the decades has emerged as a leading processing method for a broad range of applications. One of the newest uses is for high precision laser micromachining.

Ceratizit's virtual event showcases industry's latest innovations

Registration is now open for Ceratizit’s virtual event that runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30, 2020.

Machine and tooling developed collaboratively

The larger the series of parts to be produced, the more important cycle times and tool costs are. Designing machinery and tooling through a collaborative design process reduces cycle times and tooling costs, while improving part quality.

Platinum Tooling presents a 2020 virtual booth

Platinum Tooling Technologies recently created a video highlighting the products the company would have exhibited at its booth during IMTS had the 2020 trade show not been canceled due to the pandemic.

Preben Hansen, company president, presents the various product lines Platinum Tooling offers and highlights the areas of expansion since the last IMTS show in 2018. Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc. has a wide selection of machine tool accessories for most machine brands.

T-A Pro Drilling System

The T-A Pro drill combines material-specific insert geometries, a redesigned drill body and a proprietary coolant-through system to allow penetration rates which run at speeds nearly 30% faster than other high performance drills on the market. Coolant outlets are designed to direct maximum flow to the cutting edge providing quick heat extraction where it is most critical - even at significantly higher speeds.

DrillMeister Range Expanded

DMH Drill Head with Enhanced Drill Corner Design

DrillMeister incorporates a unique self-locking interface that enables simple and secure drill head exchange. Since drill heads can be replaced without having to remove the drill body from the spindle tool setup time can significantly be reduced, eliminating presetting, offset, and touch off of the replaced tool.

OSG high-feed, three-flute carbide coolant-through drill

The A Brand ADO-TRS from OSG USA Inc. is a high-feed, three-flute carbide coolant-through drill. Patented geometry permits stable chip ejection even with less chip pocket space, which is inherent in three-flute drills. The result is up to three times faster speed than two-flute drills and up to three times longer tool life. The video illustrates the advantages and shows the tool in action.

UNISIG highlights benefits of trepanning

UNISIG, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, demonstrates why trepanning is beneficial when drilling deep holes that are too large for high-pressure coolant drills or gundrills. Utilized in the aerospace, defense, material production, as well as oil and gas industries, trepanning reportedly offers higher productivity in many applications and uses less power than other drilling strategies.

An engineered approach to deep-hole drilling

Books have been written on how to produce deep holes using milling machines or lathes, but trying to drill deep holes with depth-to-diameter ratios greater than 15-1 (D-d) using standard machining centers often leads to frustration, costly scrap and poor use of shop resources.
