Electrochemical grinding (ECG) solution provider Tridex Technology, a Glebar Company, provides a burr-free cutoff solution for stainless steel tubes with the CS1-E burr-free electrochemical cutoff machine.

A software update is available for the »Dia-2200-mini« product line of Lach Diamond EDG (Electrical Discharge Grinding) eroding machines – sharpening machines; it allows for a transition to extreme axis angles up to 80°.

Lach Diamond Inc. developed «mini-contour» machines, a special sharpening machine that can produce high-precision concave and convex profiles from 2 to 4 µm and is suitable for re-sharpening the company's »contour-profiled« grinding wheels.

As products grow thinner and lighter to meet the needs of the electronics, medical and micromechanics industries, United Grinding and Ewag have developed the Laser Line Ultra for machining the incredibly precise microtools required for these applications. Specializing in the laser fabrication of cutting tools made of hard and ultrahard materials such as tungsten carbide, PCD, chemical vapor deposition diamond and CBN, the Laser Line Ultra uses an 8-axis configuration and picosecond lasers to machine complex micro geometries in cutting tools regardless of the material’s hardness and with negligible heat-affected zones.

Glebar Co. announces its new CAM.3 micro grinder. The CAM.3 represents the next generation in Glebar’s 68-year history of providing precision grinding solutions to the medical device industry. Designed from the ground up, the CAM.3 features faster speeds and feeds, larger diameter wheel, increased capability and connection to the IIoT.
