Machining (CNC)

In the USA, Romi offers three models, the D 800, the D 1000, and the D 1250. All three are equipped with big-bore 40-taper direct drive spindles with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Direct drive is low maintenance and improves accuracy and repeatability, while the big-bore 40-taper increases stiffness and allows increased depth of cut during machining.

The Kurt pyramid workholding bundles facilitate clamping of three individual components in one fixture and completed in a single setup. The Kurt 45-degree design mounting surface is positioned so each vise provides maximum access to all machined surfaces and allows for enhanced spindle and cutting tool clearance.

Hands-on and online learning bring growth opportunities. Programmers, operators and maintenance professionals can maximize results with a Siemens CNC to become indispensable on the shop floor and in their careers. Owners can maximize ROI in all areas of investment: machines, people and operations.

Electrochemical grinding (ECG) solution provider Tridex Technology, a Glebar Company, provides a burr-free solution for grinding the teeth in arthroscopic shavers with its SG-1645 and SG-2060 burr-free electrochemical surface grinding machines.

Fastems Manufacturing Management Software (MMS) has proven to be a powerful solution for planning, forecasting, controlling, visualizing and monitoring automated manufacturing processes. The new MMS Domain, Work Cell Operations (WCO), makes it possible to include all manual production tasks, work cells and stand-alone machines in the IT-supported planning, control and monitoring of production. For this purpose, the solution can be used either separately for machines or manual workstations or in combination with an automated pallet and/or workpiece handling system.

The REV motorized slotter is designed to solve, in the most efficient way, the problem of having to perform certain processing operations on a CNC lathe, from a simple keyway to internal or external toothed profiles.

Following its tradition still today, Lach Diamond Inc. offers service for setting single-point dressing diamonds and regrinding of profile diamonds. “We owe this to our customers,” emphasize the managing directors who are looking back to an almost 100-year anniversary; while they also reaffirm that “purchasing diamonds is a matter of trust.”

YG-1 has launched four new solid-carbide fiberglass routers for CNC or hand routers to handle every machining process for fiberglass and other high-performance fibers from start to finish. These new routers, like all YG-1 tools, are optimized in composition, cutting angles, flute strength and stability for longer life and lower cost per part.

Fairlane Products announces the launch of the web-based GripShape application that allows users to design and purchase custom robot gripper fingers, available online at www.gripshape.com. GripShape offers design services, a design configurator, and manufacturing services for tooling robot grippers.
