Researchers at Purdue University have come up with a solution for cutting 'gummy' metals

The MC128 Advance boasts a wide diameter range of 1/4 -3/4 in. (2-25 mm) with a TiAIN coating for universal use. WJ30TF grade is available for ISO materials P, M, K, and S. The MC128 Advance is well suited for die and mold work as well as general metalworking.

Machinery Sales Co. (MASCO), a full-service distributor of metal-cutting machine tools has won an "Outstanding Achievement" award from Kitamura Machinery.

The speed and precision of the OptoFlash enables 100+ static measurements on parts up to 60mm in length and 20 mm in diameter within two seconds at U95 = 1 µm + D/200 (D in mm) with the ability to switch from one-part type to another with just one click (flexible gauge).

The Schaller Group, a Michigan-based metal forming company, invested in CNC technology to drive growth in the family-owned company and support the company principle's passion for hydroplane racing.

The AF160 can process parts with an outside diameter of up to 60mm and a length of 250mm. The machining length is between 110 and 180mm. The eight axes – all of them independent – make the AF160 the most flexible Affolter machine to date.

Deburring and finishing are still predominantly manual processes for many manufacturers and job shops. However, the results can be inefficient and inconsistent. Automating these processes can solve these problems.

Multishift is suitable for applications in medical, automotive, tooling, minting and jewelry. Its robotic precision ensures reliable and consistent results. Another advantage is ACSYS's specialized sensitive robotic gripping, which leaves no indelible marks. Multishift features automatic pallet processing to enable faster and more accurate laser processing as well as eliminating some batch tasks.

Machining medical components cost-effectively and reliably requires high-precision tools that have been tested in practice to meet specifications that often reaches the micron level.

Starrag, a manufacturer of CNC metalworking machinery and Amorphology, a developer of advanced amorphous metals, established a laboratory where customers of both companies can observe real-time precision engineering and machining of complex gears using amorphous metals.nn

For the first time ever, on Wednesday, April 21, and Thursday, April 22, the annual 'Inspiration through Innovation' event, hosted by Seco Tools and industry partners, will focus on precision manufacturing in the Medical industry.

Frustrated with endmill accuracy, company turns to Anca Inc. to help produce unconventional cutters.
