The Mikron MILL E 500 U's powerful 20,000-rpm Step-Tec spindle tackles both rough milling and drilling operations and increases metal removal rates by 20 percent over previous models. Its rigid, stable C-frame cast iron construction reduces vibrations for increased precision and repeatability, while large guideways, a double side-supported rotary table and optimized chip evacuation enhance reliability and part quality.

Mastercam is celebrating the 10th anniversary of CNC Software Europe, SA. The Switzerland-based office was opened in April 2011.

The company offers an expanded line of live and static tools for Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes.

The machine places 128 spindles precisely and very close to center. A unique gearless drive is key to making it happen, not only getting each spindle as close as possible, but ensuring rigid performance to avoid backlash. The result is high-quality threads with no lag or out of tolerance thread forms due to gear train play that can occur using a geared head.

The system features evaluation technology based on artificial intelligence (AI), which allows the highest accuracy to be achieved with increased robustness.

Emuge Corp. announcing that moving forward the company brand name will be EMUGE-FRANKEN.

To assist manufacturers on integrating Industry 4.0 technology into their business, global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, has partnered with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT).

The machine's X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels are 300mm, 325mm, and 200 mm (11.8", 12.8", 7.9") respectively. A-axis rotation is +40˚ to -100˚, and the C-axis rotates a full 360˚. High-speed linear motors move the X-, Y- and Z-axes, while the rotary axes employ direct-drive motors.

In the FocusONE laser machine, SCANLAB's micro-drilling head is connected to an optical measuring system via EtherCAT. The stoba measuring system can inspect drill holes starting from 25 µm in diameter. The integrated software for machine control analyzes the measuring results and automatically adapts the process parameters as required.

Once in place, the PIC, which houses convenient pass-through connections, allows quick, easy, safe access to the controls inside the cabinet without opening the main door. The ability to interface with the contents of the cabinet without opening the door prevents a lot of potential safety hazards associated with having an open electrical panel, such as Arc Flash.n

The 715 Series is designed for fully automated, complete machining tasks in the medical technology, aviation and aerospace, energy, and automotive industries. Part size range is bars up to Ø 65 mm or chuck parts up to Ø 200 mm, with maximum workpiece weight of 20 kg.

In addition to the numerous new additions and special "First Choice" recommendations, the catalog features a range of practical information for cutters about Inovatools' INOSHOP (online shop), INOQR (QR code reader), INOCUT (cutting data computer) and INOCAM (CAM/XML interface) as well as a range of web, Android and iOS apps, providing users with instant and comprehensive information and allowing them to access the required tool and its data directly and with just a few clicks.
