A California-based manufacturer of precision aerospace bushings has installed a new inspection system to achieve 100 percent inspection of its parts.

Manufacturing is one of the top industries targeted by cyberattacks, but there are specific steps that companies can take to reduce the risk of these attacks, according to a new white paper.

Tooling Tech Group (TTG), a provider of engineered tools and automated assembly equipment to a wide range of industries, has appointed Doug Jack to president, Die Cast Division, consisting of the company's G.H. Tool & Mold brand,

Based in Detroit, Michigan, ARCH Cutting Tools provides an experienced team of application specialists and custom tooling designers, who provide customers with a line of standard cutting tools and custom tooling.

The new brand identity reflects a commitment to innovation and sustainable progress. Integral to the new identity is a mindset called manufacturing wellness, which highlights the value of shaping resilient, thriving, sustainable manufacturers that positively impact their surroundings.

AP&T's engineers have equipped the press with a closed, robust hydraulic system with a small oil volume and few components. Thanks to the modular system, each press can be optimized to use one or more cylinders depending on the application. The new version of AP&T's servohydraulic press is suitable for embossing heat exchanger plates and fuel cell plates, transfer applications and progressive die stamping, as well as for most types of drawing operations.

An onboard coolant reservoir continuously feeds FlexForce's high-pressure pump, and multiple electronic sensors monitor a variety of critical levels for lights-out operations. Automatic pressure regulators and machine-controlled dump valves, along with other fail-safes dramatically reduce or eliminate the risk of system damage.

ISCAR recently expanded the application range of barrel-shaped endmills with new radial segment sizes. A broad range of "Barrel-Shaped" tools is now available including oval-profile barrel endmills intended for advanced semi-finish and finishing operations of 3D surface applications.

The hand wheels come equipped with fixed handles, revolving handles or no handles. Handwheels are made of a variety of materials such as cast iron, aluminum, Duroplast plastic, stainless steel and finished including chrome plated and powder baked. Cranks are available in a straight or offset style. They are available in cast iron and high-density thermoplastic, in either a revolving or folding handle style.

Sold by Germany-headquartered Chiron Group, the refrigerator-size Micro5 machining center is designed to machine small and delicate parts for industries like medical, jewelry, watchmaking and electronics. The five-axis machine can handle workpiece sizes up to 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm.
