LaserSmart 510
Rollomatic has developed a process that allows sharpening of thick‐film diamond coated cutting tools. The Rollomatic CNC La‐ ser Cutting Machine LaserSmart incorporates technologies that facilitate the probing the surface of the coated cutting edge to detect the exact shape and position. Then the laser cutting process will remove just enough diamond coating to make the cut‐ ting edge sharp. Only a predetermined amount of the coating, just around the cutting edge, is removed by the laser process.n
335.18 and 335.19 Cutters
Designed for slotting operations between 4-12 mm and cutting-off operations from 4-8 mm, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters are available in metric diameters ranging from 32 mm to 125 mm. Inch diameters range from 1.25" to 4" with widths from 0.156" to 0.50". Inserts for these cutters are available with the full range of grades, edge geometries and corner radii (0.2-6.0 mm, 0.008"-0.236"). For the greatest flexibility and ease of use, as well as superior radial and axial reach, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters utilize modular Combimaster connections.
DeHoff 3060 Single-Axis Boring Machine
The DeHoff 3060 has a single spindle with a maximum boring capacity of 3 inches (76.2 mm) and a maximum boring depth of 60 inches (1524 mm). To meet the rigorous material removal requirements, the cutting tool is powered by a 40 horsepower spindle motor with a 4-speed gearbox. A totally custom workpiece loading and fixturing system was designed specifically for the customer's unique part. The machine features Beckhoff CNC controls with G-Code programming capability.n
Iscar features multiple milling, drilling demos during recent seminar
Iscar Metals Inc. in early March presented a series of milling and drilling demonstrations during the company's 2020 Milling & Holemaking Seminar at its Tech Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
FaceMill-Diamond
The FaceMill-Diamond features an exceptionally high number of permanently brazed cutting edges for its diameter. The cutting edges are designed for a cutting depth of up to 10 mm. Furthermore, the robust tool body absorbs the vibrations generated during machining and prevents damage to the component surface.
Accure∙tec Anti-Vibration A3000 Boring Bar
Available in lengths of 6, 8, and 10 x Dc and boring bar diameters of 1.25, 1.50, and 2.00 in. (32, 40, and 50 mm) with additional sizes and lengths available on request. Capto C6, C8 connections along with HSK100T connections are also offered as standards. The new boring bars feature compact, robust QuadFit precision quick-change exchangeable heads which boost versatility and decrease downtime. n
FH40 Fast Hole EDM Updated
Beaumont Machine has been working on answers for focusing on the ability to work Realtime with its power supply to control interconnection and closed-loop features. Doing so aids in delivering a better overall quality for the process. Other features that improve with the Reaaltime process such as micro-pulse technology, breakthrough hole-start technology and blind hole drilling all benefit from this better interconnection between the power supply and control
Printing large objects fast
The High-Area Rapid printing 3D printer prints objects as large as an adult human in just a couple of hours.
Expanded Range of Jetstream Tooling Holders
By placing high-pressure coolant directly in the cutting zone, JETI technology ensures superior chip and temperature control. For further process optimization, holders equipped with Jetstream Tooling Duo feature a second coolant outlet from the clearance side that can be turned on or off depending on part-processing requirements.
