Unlike traditional drag finishing machines, the AutoHone developed by North Kingston, Rhode Island-based Bel Air Finishing Supply Inc., rotates media instead of parts.

AIMS Metrology, a manufacturer of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) based in Dayton, Ohio, in July introduced its new Summit 10.10.10, a CMM engineered with a 5-axis REVO-2 dynamic scanning probe and 1 meter cubed capacity.

This compact system was designed with motorized XYZ-axes and enables measurements to be performed directly on large parts for user-friendly surface analysis, anywhere it is needed. The CM mobile is robust and reliable enough to be used on the shop floor or in the field, and provides consistently high resolution even over large measuring areas.

SintoGrind HSS-X 1400 is suitable for flute-, thread-, profile-, internal and external cylindrical  grinding of steel materials such as HSS, PM and medical steels. SintoGrind HSS-X 1400 is low foaming, prevents surface burning, inhibits burr development, is low misting and offers excellent filterability. 

The MC025 Advance is available in diameters from 1/8-1 in. (1-25 mm). A single grade is offered for universal applications for steel, stainless steel, cast iron and materials with difficult cutting properties as well as its ability to lower inventory costs.The MD025 Supreme solid carbide milling cutter boasts a high number of teeth for maximum productivity and high-feed face geometry. It is ideal for use on complex components.

The capability to keep eighty tools resident with high horsepower motors means heavy metal removal and flexibility. B-axis surfacing with up to 135 travel handles up to ½” diameter tooling.  Software technologies increase effectiveness including Star CNC’s HFT (High Frequency Turning) software handle chip control in tough materials, Star CNC Motion Control System optimizes your program to reduce cycle time, and the Star Monitoring and Operator Support System (SMOOSS-i) allows remote monitoring with real-time efficiency reporting and operator intervention predictability.

The SimpliVac Vacuum optimizes sample impregnation in a faster more automated way and also allows lab technicians to set multiple cycles to complete the mounting process faster. SimpliVac can also accommodate larger samples due to its oversized chamber and sample tray insert, which creates a large flat surface for larger mounts. The integrated turntable allows for bi-directional movement of the samples when aligning, and seeing within the large chamber is easy as it has a  large clear lid, thus allowing for simple alignment of samples when pouring.   It also has locking controls that prevent inconsistent samples due to user error.
