Fabrication & Cutting

Jenoptik offers JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM, a laser robot system for 3D metalcutting of chassis components for the automotive industry. Compared to conventional machining methods, the noncontact laser process minimizes machining times by eliminating the setup time and also reduces the costs associated with tool wear.

MC Machinery's fiber laser offering has expanded to include another option in laser-cutting technology. The new SR-F series from Mitsubishi features a 3m by 1.5m footprint with many of the features and options that are popular in its eX-F laser.

IPA releases its latest abrasive bore-brush sets, the Micro-Bore and Valve-Guide brush sets in stainless steel (#8087) and brass (#8088). These convenient, eight-piece sets of small-diameter brushes are optimal for cleaning tubes, bores, valve guides and more.

Omax Corp. developed the MicroMax JetMachining Center with help from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), which awarded the company a Small Business Innovation Research grant. The investment has paid off.

At Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas Inc., holemaking success is about timing—finding the best sequence in which to perform manufacturing operations.

The first day of Makino Corp.'s two-day 2017 Die/Mold Technology Expo included technology seminars, economic prognosticators, and demonstrations on more than 23 state-of-the-art machines at the company's U.S. headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The company also unveiled a new vertical machining center for true 5-axis continuous processing.

Synova SA, Duillier, Switzerland, a provider of advanced laser-cutting systems, has developed a CNC machine with 5-axis capability to satisfy stringent technical requirements in the aerospace and energy sectors. As engine manufacturers continuously seek to improve performance, high-quality machining of turbine engine components and process stability in production are critical to success. The new MCS 500 with waterjet-guided Laser MicroJet (LMJ) technology allows precise, fast 2D and 3D laser cutting and drilling of hot section components used in modern jet engines and industrial gas turbines with high repeatability.

Milacron Holdings Corp. announces that its CIMCOOL brand released new CIMCLEAN cleaners and new CIMGUARD corrosion preventatives.

BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its newly designed GPL line of lasers for use in light industrial applications. The GPL series laser diode module system is best suited for general-purpose, medium-duty applications.

GMTA (German Machine Tools of America) represents the Profilator line of gear pointing, rounding, cutting, Scudding, Hard Scudding, deburring and polygon machine tools for North America. These modular machines are use for polygon and slot facing, shifter stop machining, chamfering and deburring of complex automotive and other powertrain gears.

Osborn introduced its new TufBrush 4-inch stringer bead with up to three times longer life for weld cleanup applications, including root and hot pass, surface preparation, pipe joining and other applications. With an improved, patent-pending design structure, Osborn's TufBrush stringer bead is made from carbon steel material and provides twice the life and 15 percent better material removal than its closest competitor, according to the company.

Supfina Machine Company Inc., North Kingstown, R.I., a manufacturer of surface-finishing systems and equipment, has added two members to its U.S. sales team.
