Machining

Open Mind Technologies USA Inc., the North American subsidiary of Open Mind Technologies AG, is celebrating its 25th anniversary of CAM software achievements.

The Ceratizit Group is hosting a global online event, "It's Tool Time," on June 17 to focus on the value of process optimization through a variety of interactive machining demonstrations and presentations.

ISO-EcoTurn inserts, while downsized for tool economy, incorporate the identical chipbreaker geometry and thickness of regular sized inserts to maintain the same cutting performance at a depth of cut up to 3.0 mm (0.12"). This expansion provides more cost efficient solutions in steel turning applications.

A thick titanium-rich PVD coating with excellent thermal stability has been developed specifically for AH62225. This coating effectively prevents crater wear from developing on the insert rake surface. The grade's top layer incorporates the latest titanium-rich nano-multilayer structure; its high-density crystal orientation enhances the grade's hardness for superior wear resistance.

This innovative insert seating substantially eliminates the tendency for vibrations, increasing insert life as well as tool holder life. The design also prevents incorrect engagement, especially for narrow insert widths, and enables an extremely high indexing accuracy.

Scientists in Japan study metals with niobium silicide in hopes of developing more high-tolerant turbine components.

Aluminum is light, clean and easily machined, which is why machinists enjoy working with it.

Modern moldmaking must be efficient.

For the Austria-based Wittmann Battenfeld company, it's all about plastic. The company utilizes a modern, diverse and modular range of machines for processing plastics and other plasticisable materials, including the M30 Millturn from WFL Millturn Technologies.

The innovative roughing geometry results in smaller chips and low cutting forces, and a reinforced corner chamfer promotes additional strength for longer tool life. Designed for semi-finish profile and center cutting, the multi-flute design is constructed of ultra-fine carbide grade CR3 for high cutting edge stability and wear resistance.
