The refrigerator-size Micro5 is designed to machine small and delicate parts.

Based in Detroit, Michigan, ARCH Cutting Tools provides an experienced team of application specialists and custom tooling designers, who provide customers with a line of standard cutting tools and custom tooling.

Stainless steel, cast iron and aluminium handwheels each have their unique safety features. Stainless steel is naturally resistant to bacterial growth, making it the ideal choice for hygiene-sensitive areas. Cast-iron handwheels, when coasted with zinc or chrome, offer protection against corrosion.

The HxGN Production Machining suite will integrate common workflows to help teams reduce error and eliminate redundant tasks at every stage, from job quotation and design review through production, quality assurance, and product delivery. By offering a suite of connected products from the Hexagon ecosystem, manufacturers benefit from simplified procurement, implementation, and support.

The P80360 drive is fully programmable via an intuitive graphical user interface and programming language, available within the Kollmorgen Space software package offered as a free download on the Kollmorgen website. Using these tools, engineers can create simple point-to-point movements as well as linked motion sequences with ease.

The FX7 ULTRA not only grinds tools faster than other machines, but also produces tools with both finer surface finishes and greater accuracy — which means superior tool performance and quality.

The SG3P carbide grade also enables shorter cycle times for thread production thanks to higher cutting values, including when processing materials that are difficult to machine. In addition, the combination of an ultra-fine grain carbide powder and the high temperature resistant coating results in high process reliability and better component quality.

Due to their geometry and good chip breaking, the milling tools are suitable for machining numerous other materials. Due to the precise combination of the substrate, the macro and micro geometry as well as the IG3 coating, the milling system exhibits high performance and long tool life.

Multitask machines are practical and appealing.

The outlook for workforce development in the manufacturing industry is optimistic, but hurdles remain.

Star Cutter Co. has acquired Tru Tech CNC grinding systems from Resonetics in Nashua, New Hampshire, assuming all design and manufacturing of the Tru Tech high-precision CNC grinding machines currently performed at the Michigan facilities in Mt. Clemens and Lewiston.

The Iosso-FE process increases the hardness of the surface up to 72 R.C. and significantly increases the base metal life expectancy. The FE process provides smooth and consistent results, free from hydrogen faults, cracks, or blisters. You should also not expect any peeling, flaking, or spalling with our process.
