CNC Machining (General)

CGTech, the developer of VERICUT CNC verification and simulation software, and ZOLLER, a leading presetting and measuring machine manufacturer and expert in the field of tool management, have announced a new product to better serve the customer base of the two companies.

Unison Corp. announces the introduction of its new 7-axis Model 2850MT CNC microtool grinder.

CNC Software Inc.'s Mastercam is known for powerful NC programming, but it also delivers a suite of shop-tested design tools including 3D surfacing and solids.

Manufacturing a wide range of miniature thin-walled tube products requires the highest precision from the cutting and drilling processes used to produce them. The delicate tube material has to be machined without inducing distortion or leaving burrs, and this is where laser systems such as ROFIN's StarCut Tube offer significant advantages when compared to chemical and mechanical machining procedures, according to the company.

When it comes to tool holding, value is all about precision and reliability that will transmit to the finished part. Hardinge says its toolholder collets, bushings and tool holders are designed and engineered for quality and durability.

Parlec Inc. introduces the Parsetter TMM Series 1850 CNC presetter with Process, Automate, Connect technology.

Tool selection, tool configuration, and the best applicable tooling advice based on the customer's part and process requirements are all at the touch of a few mouse clicks in Kennametal's revolutionary NOVO.

Okuma America Corp. has released a new app that displays scheduled maintenance and inspection reminders.

Five-axis machining varies from very small to extremely large and requires the right workholding to obtain optimal machining results and no single workholding option solves all needs, reports Kurt Manufacturing. Part complexity and size requirements coupled with machine capabilities and limitations dictate what workholding works best.

EXSYS Tool Inc.'s new PRECI-FLEX Compensating Clutch system for Nakamura CNC turning centers enables users to "float" away misalignment between turret drive motors and toolholders, leading to smoother operation, finer surface finishes and longer tool life.

NUM has extended its market-leading Flexium+ family of CNC kernels with a new hardware configuration option that provides machine tool manufacturers with a cost-effective control solution for small to medium size machines.

With its global 3i modernization program, REDEX has transformed its Senonches plant into a state-of-the-art center of gear excellence. As a result, REDEX is now offering aeronautical and motor racing quality gears as a standard in its axis drives to machine tool OEMs.
