General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

The Android touchscreen, pre-loaded with direct access to 1sourcelive, tracks inventory usage in real-time, triggering automated replenishment when inventory reaches a set minimum level.

The FX5, with the new 12kW spindle delivers increased productivity up to a diameter of 10mm. At 19kW, the new high-powered spindle option can enhance productivity further for tools up to 12mm and above. The high-powered spindle option on FX5 matches the grinding spindle fitted to the FX7 machine with 6-wheel packs, suited for a more industrial environment.

Eriez named Eric Nelson as vice president-international operations and business development.

FlexFiltration systems efficiently remove fine chips and grinding sludge to achieve coolant clarity down to 10 microns or less. They are especially well suited for challenging applications involving materials ranging from cast iron, steel and aluminum to composites and plastics.

The adapter is made of 304 stainless steel and measures 1.498" X 1.825" X 3.188" (38.049mm x 46.355mm x 80.975mm) overall length. The adapter is turned on a Yama Seiki turning center and finished machining on a Bridgeport manual milling machine.

This system is capable of transporting wire gauges from 1 to 20 and tube sizes from Ø 0.250 mm to Ø 12.7 mm. The WT500/1000 provides quick setups for part changeovers with a belt-driven automatic diameter adjustment transport. Laser selections include nano, pico, and femtosecond UV and NIR sources as well as mechanical spindle drilling assemblies with upwards of 80kRPM of speed for precision quality hole formation.

Every steel machining operation poses some challenges so it's a good thing that Tiger·tec® Gold can handle almost any challenge involved in turning. The secret is the specialized design of the individual grades.

Increase your factory productivity with the next generation 52/96 workholding system of vises, bases and mounts from Mate Precision Technologies. A zero-point system, Mate 52/96 workholding is compatible with similar systems, including 52mm and 96mm four post pull stud configurations from Lang, Jergens, 5th Axis, Gerardi and others.

In addition to the cooling and geometry, Walter's new WJ30RZ and WJ30RY grades also boost performance because their highly wear-resistant TiAlSiN-based layer applied using HIPIMS coating technology takes the form of a complete coating for 3 and 5xDc (WJ30RZ grade) and a point coating for 8×Dc (WJ30RY grade). The 8×Dc version also features a polished flute for deep drilling. The result is a very smooth surface which ensures optimum chip evacuation and minimizes built-up edges. The ability to recondition the drills boosts the cost effectiveness three times, paired with its long tool life, also further boosts cost-effectiveness.

The drill features a new grade, with an improved multi-layer physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating. The results are enhanced wear resistance, better tool life and an overall increase in productivity and thereby reduced cost-per-component.n

The compact 3-axis linear nanopositioning stage is based on PI's A-142 mini air bearing linear slide and suited for high precision, high-dynamics positioning, scanning and alignment applications in fields such as fiber optics, photonics, semiconductors, micro-mechanical systems, etc.

The Bantam Tools Desktop CNC 4th Axis Accessory is designed to be a beginner-friendly accessory that expands machining capabilities to include 4th axis machining. It's a gateway into 4th axis machining and a tool customers can use to grow their machining skills. It makes complex parts more attainable and offers more machining options for 3D surfacing, as well as reduces machining complexity with parts that require machining on multiple sides. The new Bantam Tools Desktop CNC 4th Axis Accessory empowers users to turn their 3-axis Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine into a 4-axis machine quickly and easily.
