Multiaxis machining from CNC Software Inc. can dramatically increase a shop's competitiveness.

Unison Corp. introduced the Model 1500 CNC Profile Grinder, known as the PunchMaster, now featuring a polymer cast base and new software.

CGTech is now shipping the next major version of its composite applications: VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) & VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS).

The DATRON M8 PlasticMill is a high-speed CNC machining center designed specifically for plastic machining applications that produce debris such as large and small chips or dust that must be extracted and collected.

If you've been using fixtures to grip parts on your rotary device, you already know how much operator intervention is required for setting up, clamping and locating the part, and changing from one job to another. And let's not forget about the design time and machining involved to produce the fixture itself. All of this accumulated time lengthens the production time and increases the cost of the part. Are there any other alternatives? Yes, collet-ready spindle rotary tables and indexers, manufactured by Hardinge accept a wide variety of standard tooling to grip parts of various shapes and sizes so that you can output more parts per hour at a lower cost per part.

CGTech offers a new tool for communicating and collaborating with other people outside of the NC programming department.

Engis has just released a new three axis single-pass bore finishing system, the FPM-3X, which can finish stacked valve body bores to a cylindricity of 2µm and a diameter of +/- 1µm, especially those with multiple bores and bores of different diameters.
