Turning

A new turning geometry for the finish turning of components manufactured from steel to the most difficult-to-machine materials, such as high-temperature alloys, has been launched by ATI Stellram.

A new automatically changed grinding attachment adds surface finishing to the one-stop processing capabilities of MAG's vertical turning centers, allowing finishing of ID, OD and plane surfaces on parts up to 4700mm (185 inches) diameter.

These five new Stellram NL turning grades are specifically engineered to provide optimal performance in a given application and workpiece material resulting in increased metal removal rates, improved surface finishes and up to 30 percent longer tool life, according to the company.

In its on-going effort to offer cutting tools designed to simplify manufacturing processes, Nexus Cutting Tools unveiled the newest addition to its line of high-performance turning inserts, Magia LT1000.

STROTHMANN continuously improves its RoundTrack technology and incorporates customer requirements. Now, the quadro turnstile, the youngest RoundTrack crossing, is even thinner, facilitating an effort-saving in-floor installation.

With its EcoCCore system now superseding the previous 81C/P equipment series, Durr Ecoclean says it is setting new standards in solvent-based part cleaning.

The rotary broach allows machinists to add internal hexagon, square and other forms to precision metal parts. The modern machine shop can benefit from the quick set-up and ease of use available in adjustment free broach holders. The GT Series broach holder from Polygon Solutions has been designed for this purpose, and often eliminates secondary operations.

Polygon Solutions Inc. designed the broaching brake to be used as an attachment to its innovative GT Series rotary broach holder.
