Machining (CNC)

Four high-pressure coolant systems from machine tool equipment and accessory supplier CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies each are engineered to match the production and economic requirements of differing manufacturing environments. For any manufacturer, the addition of high-pressure coolant capability increases productivity by enabling use of increased feeds and speeds, boosting workpiece quality and surface finish, and reducing manufacturing costs via increased tool life.

New CoroMill Plura routers unveiled by Sandvik Coromant offer optimized milling and slotting operations in composite materials such as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) and GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic). Production engineers, machine shop managers and operators will all benefit from the patented geometries provided by the new routers, particularly those in the aerospace industry, where these materials are increasingly prevalent, as well as others in sectors such as automotive, motorsport, wind power and marine.

Successful machining requires powerful machines and highly-precise tool holding technology, which ensures that the precision is transferred from the spindle right to the cutting tool edge. Within the last couple of years, HAIMER says it has become the complete system provider for tool management.

In a move designed to greatly improve efficiency and quality in CAM operations, CoroPlus ToolLibrary and PrimeTurning method from Sandvik Coromant have been integrated in Mastercam 2018. The CoroPlus suite of connected solutions from Sandvik Coromant facilitates digital machining, providing access to real-time process insights and data.
