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.

The Torrent M sets the stage for a new generation of in-process or final clean ultrasonic cleaning systems that meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail regulations and GAMP 5 recommendations while simplifying machine IQ and OQ validation in the most demanding Medical and Pharmaceutical applications.

Star Cutter Co. hired Josh Hubbard as a sales and applications engineer at its facility where the company builds 5-axis CNC tool grinding machines.
