Machining (CNC)

Gerardi Precision Modular Vises are reportedly designed to cover most machine shop workholding needs at lowest cost.

In an industry where time is money and shaving a second off part cycle times translates into huge savings, EXSYS Tool Inc. has developed a new modular tool holding system specifically for those high-volume manufacturers using Star CNC brand Swiss-style machines.

Several machine tool manufacturers, including Nakamura, are transitioning over to bolt-on style turrets for their horizontal lathes because these solutions are more robust and easier to use than VDI designs. In response, EXSYS Tool Inc. is introducing a new bolt-on mounting PRECI-FLEX Modular Tooling System for most Nakamura machines equipped with bolt-on style turrets.

EXSYS Tool Inc.'s new PRECI-FLEX Compensating Clutch system for Nakamura CNC turning centers enables users to "float" away misalignment between turret drive motors and toolholders, leading to smoother operation, finer surface finishes and longer tool life.

EXSYS Tool Inc. has introduced the EPPINGER CAPTO base holder, referring to it as "the world's smallest CAPTO interface with the fastest tool changeover times for enhancing efficiency and productivity in CNC turning operations."

EXSYS Tool Inc. says its PRECI-FLEX Compensating Clutch system for Okuma CNC turning centers enables users to "float" away misalignment between turret drive motors and toolholders, leading to smoother operation, better surface finishes and longer tool life.

EXSYS Tool Inc. has long supplied the North American market with high-precision, German-made EPPINGER live and fixed toolholders for CNC turning centers and modular adapter systems for quick lathe tooling changeovers. Today, EXSYS has expanded its offerings to include a new line of high-quality EPPINGER gearboxes and custom gear-making services for a wide variety of industries.

EXAIR's digital ETC (Electronic Temperature Control) Cabinet Cooler System keeps electrical enclosures cool while minimizing compressed air use.

Eriez HydroFlow has introduced the Deep Bed Gravity Filter.

Engis has just released a new three axis single-pass bore finishing system, the FPM-3X, which can finish stacked valve body bores to a cylindricity of 2µm and a diameter of +/- 1µm, especially those with multiple bores and bores of different diameters.
