The result is that the tools must be changed out more frequently as they dull or break.

Abrasive Technology LLC, a manufacturer of superabrasive products, has named Clement Wiekrykas as the company's chief executive officer.

Lasers offer major steel-cutting advantages, but there are also reasons to pass.

Star SU, part of the Star Cutter family of companies, has announced Andreas Blind will take on the role of president of Star SU.

MarSurf CD 140 AG 11 features an automated calibration routine for probe arms and a flexible workpiece holder that makes it easy to handle. Automatic tracing force selection assures the proper force is used when replacing several stylus tips.

For tiny precision components with dimensions of < 1 mm and deep-drawn from 100-micrometer thick sheet metal, the surface finishing operation can be quite a challenge.nn

The unique PVD coating that is standard on all Greenleaf-360 end mills provides added productivity and performance. The coating offers a very low coefficient of friction with an extremely high service temperature range. This combination results in high wear resistance and allows for higher speed capabilities, especially in heat-resistant alloys.

As the latest addition to the Hygienic Design product family, JW Winco now offers the spacers GN 6226. These standard parts easily avoid duplicate mounting surfaces, which are problematic and time-consuming in terms of cleaning and sealing.
