Every cutting insert experiences a drop in performance when approaching the end of its life cycle. If this condition goes undetected for any amount of time, part-machining performance, as well as part quality, may have already suffered.

Experience lower costs, improved quality and absolutely consistent finishing results with drag finisher technology.n

Plate heat exchangers are found in numerous industrial applications, and essentially use metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Their use is burgeoning as they out-perform conventional heat exchangers (often a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid) as the fluids being cooled are in contact with a much greater surface area, which optimizes the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of temperature change.

The ANCA Academy, the series of videos from ANCA that cover a different technical topic each month, has a new host. The third video in the series is called "Introduction to ANCA Software Applications," and introduces Hugh Ingham to the series.
