quattroClean Parts Cleaner
Whether it's rotationally symmetrical workpieces such as shafts, pistons, bearings, and toothed parts, or medical devices such as implants, if strict tolerances have to be met, each product is carefully checked by optical measurement during the production process. But to do this, component surfaces have to be clean. quattroClean from ACI AG is a solution, an inline and fully-automated innovative cleaning cell.

Increase part quality and productivity when deep-cavity micromachining while achieving tight tolerances. A heat-activated, wax-based compound for holding parts.
Consider live tooling when purchasing a machine
When shops purchase new machinery, a common error some make is accepting the standard live tooling package from the builder without considering other options. This is not a criticism of those packages, but end users should do as much evaluation of their processes when determining the proper tooling package as they do when evaluating machine tools.
