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.

To centralize operations and continue to better serve its customers, tooling supplier Ceratizit USA Inc. has shifted its official U.S. headquarters from Warren, Mich., to the company's Schaumburg, Ill., facility.

A review is given of this machining method, its basic concepts and developments in the technology.

New Scale Robotics released a new case study video with Orchid Orthopedic Solutions, a medical contractor manufacturer in Bridgeport, Mich.

Piezoelectric materials convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa; the so-called inverse piezo effect is harnessed for the generation of oscillation and precision motion. For ultrasonic applications that require high bandwidth, hemispheres and hollow spheres are currently available with an outside diameter range from 2 – 100mm with wall thickness as small as 0.2mm.

In this Q&A, Dr. Angel Lopez, director of business development at micrometal GmbH, one of Europe's leading PCE etching specialists, discusses what considerations design engineers need to bear in mind when working with PCE.

Finishing is an active area of CAD/CAM software development that becomes better every year. Discover how it can benefit your operations.

Anyone who manufactures sophisticated precision parts and highly complex assemblies for fluid technology must rely on their supply partners. If the partners also bring an understanding of the procedures and competence in the processes, this can lead to fruitful and long-term connections.
