MX7 ULTRA

MX7 ULTRA Can Manufacture Large Volumes of Endmills, Cutting Tools
To increase the stiffness of the C-axis, the MX7 ULTRA combines developments to the nanometer or micro degree resolution in the linear and rotary axis, tuning parameters, several system enhancements, and major mechanical changes.

FX5 Upgrade

FX5 Gets Power-Boost With 12kW Grinding Spindle
The FX5, with the new 12kW spindle delivers increased productivity up to a diameter of 10mm. At 19kW, the new high-powered spindle option can enhance productivity further for tools up to 12mm and above. The high-powered spindle option on FX5 matches the grinding spindle fitted to the FX7 machine with 6-wheel packs, suited for a more industrial environment.

Low Profile 5-Axis Air Bearing Motion System

Frictionless Direct Drive Motor Motion System
Compared to mechanical, roller or ball bearing based linear stages and rotary stages, air bearings are friction free and wear free and generate no particles during operation, making them clean-room compatible and ideal for dynamic, 24/7 duty cycle automation applications. In an air bearing stage, the moving platform glides on a thin film of air. This principle also is responsible for the surface averaging effect that significantly improves geometric performance such as straightness and flatness in linear motion applications while reducing runout and wobble in rotary tables.

Tri-V Tool and Mazak

Tri-V Tool and Manufacturing Co. doesn't turn down work or shy away from challenging parts. To meet customer demands, they’ve added more-sophisticated and advanced horizontal machining centers, an automated pallet system and multi-tasking part processing from Mazak. These updates help keep their shop competitive and profitable.

Grinding Meets Erosion!

Two technologies, one machine: The new VOLLMER VHybrid 360 combines the strengths of an innovative grinding machine and a proven powerful erosion machine. Allowing you to switch between the two functions in no time! Efficient processing and powerful machining of carbide tools with diameters of up to 50 mm. 

 

Makino, Mastercam, Helical Solutions achieve aggressive material removal rate

CNC Software Inc., Helical Solutions LLC and Makino Inc. — a software developer, cutting tool maker and machine builder, respectively — share the results of their joint R&D project that began with an email introducing a new high-efficiency six-flute endmill with a chipbreaker. This report, which demonstrates how a 40in3 material removal rate was achieved, is a video supplement to the Get With The Program column in the August 2021 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.
