General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

Jon Dreher has been named general manager at H.B. Carbide.

The KUKA.Sim software enables manufacturers to test and validate robotic installations before equipment arrives, minimize the footprint of cells with 3D visualization of safety spaces, then transfer applications with 100% accuracy to an actual robot controller. In addition, KUKA.Sim 4.0 can program robots offline, analyze cycle times and expand with new functionalities through add-on modules.

Extremely compact, the KCI 120 Dplus encoder consists of one scanning head and two different types of rotor units, all connectable to a controller / drive via a single cable. Only 20 mm in height, its small footprint and low weight makes it useful in tight installation spaces, rendering it attractive for a variety of high accuracy motion control applications.

Customer and industry input drives development from faster 2D to expanded multiaxis.

This short video showcases the new TURNPWR control as a workshop-oriented turning control that enables the user to program conventional machining operations right at the machine in an easy-to-use conversational programming language. It is designed for turning machine tools with up to two axes.

Witness Visioneering's journey on completely eliminating water-based coolant from their machining process and facility, utilizing DropsA MQL solutions!

Designed for CNC machining, Heule's BSF (Back Spot Facer) tool is an economical backwards spotfacing and counterboring tool that allows machining of large spotfaces and counterbores up to 2.3xd without turning the work piece over.

Check out the newly released Hurrimill AT4 end mill. This all terrain 4 flute end mill is perfect for slotting and profiling, ramping, plunging, high speed milling, and roughing and finishing.

Beckett Packaging manufactures and stocks a full range of Round Telescopic Plastic Tubes. Durable, reusable and resistant to moisture, this packaging will allow for storage of various tool lengths.

The video will show how Abanaki's Oil Boss oil skimmer provides cost savings by removing unwanted tramp oil prolonging the life of the coolant. The patent-pending Oil Boss is designed for CNC machines offering passive tramp oil removal.

Drawing on its deep materials science expertise, Kennametal developed KAR85-AM-K to provide corrosion and wear resistant properties analogous to its conventional counterpart grade, CN13S. Combined with Kennametal's binder jet additive manufacturing capabilities, KAR85-AM-K results in fully densified, corrosion resistant components that meet or exceed the properties of conventionally manufactured carbide components.
