Machining

Lexair Inc. is offering the Multi Mini Rhinobar, a hydrodynamic bar feeder for use with Swiss-style CNC screw machines that features a three feed tube cartridge instead of the traditional single feed tube. The Multi Mini makes multiple stock diameter indexing simple and fast by combining three feed tubes inside a single aluminum barrel.

Based on a highly efficient and productive two-in-one concept, Walter Helitronic Vision Diamond 400 L, Helitronic Power Diamond 400 and Helitronic Diamond Evolution tool grinding machines, from United Grinding North America Inc., integrate both eroding and/or grinding capabilities into single grinding machine platforms.

Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. announces the release of the Integrated Machine Analytics (IMA) mobile app, which allows users to monitor their CNC machines through MTConnect, an open standard that allows universal connectivity. The app is designed for Mitsubishi Electric machines, but will work for any MTConnect-compliant CNC.

Carmex Precision Tools Ltd. has introduced new diamond turning inserts designed to enable customers to achieve higher productivity and greater efficiency in machining hard materials faster and more effectively than grinding or ceramics. The PCD inserts excel in the machining of nonferrous materials, including high-silicon aluminum, copper and brass alloys, magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, and composites.

Tungaloy adds a line of positive style inserts to its BX480 insert series, a well-proven T-CBN grade for efficient turning of sintered powder metals and cast iron.

Tungaloy expands its TungMeister series of interchangeable milling head system, to include 4-flute cutter heads with high-feed capability.

Tungaloy introduces CeramicSpeedMill for efficient milling of heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs).

BallRoughNose is the latest development in Tungaloy's indexable milling technology for efficient and reliable rough profiling of curved surfaces.

Tungaloy is expanding its Turning-A series of OD turning holders to include short length holders.

Tungaloy enhances usefulness of TungModularSystem, a modular-style grooving and parting tool system with through-coolant feature.
