Milling

Raydiance, a provider of all-laser manufacturing solutions, announced the R-Drill (pictured), R-Tube and R-Mill, to address micromachining challenges in the automotive, industrial and medical device industries.

With the INOSCREW modular milling system, the tool manufacturer InovaTools says it supports tool and mold construction with a technically sophisticated and cost-effective solution.

Without some sort of "turbo" attachment, you won't get far trying to dry-machine Inconel or titanium with a conventional end mill. In the form of the universal end mill series Turbomax, tool manufacturer InovaTools has reportedly delivered a multi-talented product.

Optimized production conditions are an important factor for manufacturing cutting tools that are intended to meet not only the current challenges in metal processing, but also future ones as well. Tool manufacturer InovaTools from Kinding-Haunstetten, Germany, has reacted.

InovaTools offers TSC tools that have been optimally adapted in terms of substrate, geometry and chip clearance for various materials, such as special alloys, hardened steel, tempering steel, INOX, general construction steel, aluminum and plastic.

Cutting plastics and composite materials is a special discipline. Only with application-optimized tools can acceptable service lives and qualities be achieved in a cost-effective manner.

Fives brings off-centerline turning, drilling, milling and tapping capabilities to its Giddings & Lewis vertical turning centers with a new Y-axis attachment, that combines a C-axis head with table and X and Z axes motions. The attachment, available fully integrated on new VTCs or as a retrofit, allows for single-setup processing of flanged parts, pumps, compressors, motor housings, fluid routing parts, intakes and exhausts, among others.

Fives brings the combination live spindle and integrated contouring head (ICH) to its Cincinnati MEGA and Giddings & Lewis HMC Series horizontal machining centers, for expanded processing flexibility and dramatically reduced workpiece transfers and setups, with improved accuracy, according to the company.

The new Giddings & Lewis V Series from Fives Machining Systems is a versatile line of vertical turning centers for shops looking for a dependable, multi-purpose lathe capable of handling a wide range of parts, including pumps, valves, gears, bearings, compressors, wheel hubs, jet engine housings and more.

SLOKY USA offers preset-torque T handles and screwdrivers for Torx and Torx-Plus screws for precision tightening of carbide inserts used in milling, turning, drilling, boring, threading and thread milling applications.
