High-tech company TRUMPF was recently inducted into the American Manufacturing Hall of Fame. The award was presented to TRUMPF in recognition of the company's more than 100 years of innovation, advanced technology and services, and for its contributions to strengthening manufacturing in the United States and around the world.

Unlock faster cycle times, outstanding metal removal rates without clogging, and fewer tool changes with the POW•R•FEED M935 end mill from IMCO.

IMCO Carbide Tool created its new POW•R•FEED M935 five-flute endmills using a multi-parabolic grinding (MPG) process that reportedly allows for significantly higher metal removal rates and the freest cutting action in mild steels, stainless steels and titanium.

The DoFeedTri series of cutting tools from Tungaloy Corporation has been expanded with the introduction of a new grade optimized for stainless steel machining, enhanced low cutting force chipbreakers, and an extended range of cutter bodies for improved versatility and performance.

The JT1-1376 18" CVS bandsaw from JET Tools was designed for larger projects and more demanding applications, the company says. The bandsaw features a high-performance BLDC motor that the company says delivers powerful cutting with energy efficiency, an 8" throat allows for cutting larger workpieces, and continuous variable speed control to adjust the speed from 90 SFPM to 1,400 SFPM to match different materials.

Ceratizit has completed phase one of its strategic base-of-operations plan and opened the doors to its new North American headquarters in the Griffith Gateway office park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Jorgensen FlexForce is a high-pressure coolant system for machine tools needing coolant supplied at 500-1000 PSIG for through-spindle coolant (TSC), available with a single or duplex bag filter and a chiller option. The system targets coolant directly at the cutting zone by breaking through the heat-generated vapor barrier created at the cutting tool and workpiece interface. TSC systems also offer better chip evacuation and more consistent temperature control for faster machine feeds and speeds.

CAM Assist 2.0 from CloudNC takes a CAD model to machine-ready toolpaths. The company said that CAM Assist 2.0 retains the speed of the original CAM Assist, while adding the oversight, feedback and shared intelligence elements that machine shops need to use AI with confidence.
