CNC Machining (General)

Cloud-based management software is helping CNC machining to design, test and produce tools faster and more accurately than ever before. ANCA has developed its own Redax 2.0 software package to network grinding machines to send and receive data.

The CPX Linear has a large working envelope and powerful grinding spindles to achieve high precision and productivity for blank preparation. Using the pinch peel method of grinding, it offers the same strength, rigidity and thermal stability expected from an ANCA tool grinder.

Starrag offers the innovative Heckert DBF 630 6-axis machining center with B over A trunnion table coupled with 45 kW (60 hp)/1,700 Nm (1,254 ft-lb) torque fully integrated U axes head to enable turning, as well as milling, boring, drilling and thread generation operations to be completed in a single setup.

Synova is launching a new CNC machine with full 5-axis capability to process complex 3D geometries. Applications targeted include the machining of industrial diamond employed in toolmaking, as well as various composite materials used in aviation. The LCS 305 offers enhanced accuracy, quality and speed with highly dynamic axes, water-cooled linear and torque motors, mineral casting machine bed and fully automatic offset calibration system.

Hardinge Inc. introduces the new Kellenberger 100 (pictured) and Kellenberger 1000 Universal CNC grinding systems. These innovative systems improve the precision and productivity for the most demanding range of machining applications. The updated functional and user friendly design elements on both of these systems allow you to have the control and performance you require.

To perform the complex mathematical calculations required for metrology based real-time adaptive control of CNC machining processes, powerful coordinate measuring machine (CMM) software needs to be directly integrated within the manufacturing system. CappsNC, from Applied Automation Software Inc., an adaptation of CappsDMIS CMM software, has been developed to program any machining center to perform advanced measurement, metrology and GD&T calculations using the standard DMIS language.

The new LaserSwiss is a Tsugami B0125-III with a fully integrated laser cutting system. The compact, 12 mm, 5-axis Swiss-style CNC lathe is the smallest LaserSwiss the company offers.

ANCA Motion designs and manufactures flexible control systems, specializing in high-precision solutions for CNC machines. Unique to ANCA Motion is the LinX M-series linear motor, which is housed within a slim body. The motor is highly energy efficient and delivers precision CNC applications or high-speed automation systems every time.

Rush Machinery is offering the CH-CM0203 CNC Carbide Rod Chamfer Machine for chamfering blanks for carbide and HSS cutting tools. The machine comes equipped with a large-capacity magazine, an automatic loader, a flood coolant system, 2-axis servomotor and servo amplifier, and fully automatic CNC.

Emuge Corp. has introduced its patented Punch Tap Line in North America. The Emuge Punch Tap is for helical thread forming in cast and wrought aluminum alloys and similar lightweight materials.

The 2 Rod "Auto-Cut" CNC Carbide Cut-Off Machine automatically cuts carbide rod into precision lengths. This production machine, designed for cutting tool manufacturers and carbide rod processors, has a large-capacity magazine and an automatic loader to provide hours of unattended operation.
