General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

A high-strength alloy with minimum 40% nickel content, Sanicro 825 has excellent corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis, superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and good corrosion resistance to phosphoric, nitric, sulfuric, and organic acids, seawater, caustic chloride alkalis and ammoniac media.

Quaker Houghton in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, a producer of industrial process fluids, has entered into an exclusive joint venture with Grindaix GmbH.

The microARC 4 reduces both operator workload and cycle times with a high-quality, low-maintenance harmonic drive. The drive provides extremely precise motion control, coupled with much higher rapid speeds than a worm-drive unit.

For machining close to the O.D. or I.D. of a workpiece, the Type 01 Adapter extends drills or endmills away from the face of the toolholder for much needed additional reach. Plus, the adapters allow for offline tool presetting for the next job while the machine continues to work uninterrupted.

Owner of Shelton Machinery makes a significant donation to help establish an engineering lab at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis.

The V-855 and V-857 product families were designed for high-load and high duty cycle industrial precision motion applications where traditional actuators or linear slides with lead-screw or timing-belt drives are not precise, robust or reliable enough. Due to the maintenance-free and friction free high-speed linear motors, greater productivity with shorter cycle times and faster return on investment can be achieved.

Transor Filter CEO, Irv Kaage, announced new promotions at the company's corporate headquarters located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

Seco Tools plans to make a strong contribution to the circular economy with an ambitious recycling goal while at the same time continuing to make reliable tooling.n

As the most recent addition to the T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system, this insert demonstrates that the best just keeps getting better. Not only are the faster penetration rates maintained, but in using the redesigned body of the T-A Pro, maximum coolant flow and excellent rigidity are also present when utilizing the high-speed steel geometry. This offers machine shops and manufacturers a spade drill that operates at incredible speeds and a cost per hole that averages 25% less than other existing drills.

CJT's expertise will bolster GWS' capability and capacity in holemaking, brazed construction carbide tools and PCD round tools.

Each lightweight KCI 1319 / KBI 1335 encoder includes a 25 mm hollow shaft and inductive scanning technology that makes it insensitive to contamination and magnetic fields. The encoder communicates using the high speed EnDat 2.2 interface which also allows for additional information, such as temperature or diagnostics, to be communicated as well.

EcoAir® 325 Tool & Die Rust Preventative has proved to be a great development for molders. This ready- to-use vegetable oil/solvent-based liquid is packaged in EcoAir® spray cans that rely on compressed air rather than traditional aerosol propellants. It is easy to atomize over a large surface area such as the interior of a plastic injection mold or die. Unlike other mold savers that have a reputation for clogging mold pores and must be cleaned off before use, EcoAir® 325 Tool & Die Rust Preventative does not have to be removed. This makes it extremely easy to bring a mold out of shipping or storage and put into use immediately.
