Inspired by the best design characteristics from both vertical and horizontal machine platforms, the Makino DA300 5-Axis VMC delivers the highest production capabilities for multi-axis workpieces in the very smallest of machine footprints.

Elk Grove Village, IL – As of April 1, 2019, Niigata Machine Techno USA, Inc. will be the distributor of Niigata Injection Molding Machines.

Society's rapid digitalization brings opportunities for the manufacturing industry to overcome challenges, minimize waste and ultimately become more profitable.

NCCS Corp., developer of NCL multiple-axis machining software that is used extensively in the aerospace, automotive and turbo-machinery industries has further developed an add-on module to NCL for high-speed bulk material removal.

The Model 300 mist collector filters the air on enclosed machinery to remove harmful oil mist and particulates from CNC machines, including milling and grinding processes. This unit offers a primary control solution by mounting to the machinery and filtering the mist at the source.

Take a look inside Okuma's GENOS M460V-5AX with Errol Burrell, machining center product specialist. Now with an increased capacity for 48 tools, this customer favorite just became even more appealing.

Process optimization is key to increase the productivity and quality of the machining processes and thus ensure the competitiveness of machining companies. Valid measurements of physical parameters are necessary for the ideal assessment of optimization and measures as well as the efficient use of production resources at their performance limits.

Mahr Inc. announced the addition of the MarSurf GD series for roughness measurements to its new line of surface measuring instruments. MarSurf GD series measuring stations provide high levels of speed, flexibility and intelligent ease of use, allowing users to improve the manufacturing quality of workpieces with faster throughput and higher accuracy for the broadest range of applications.

Sandvik Coromant customers can now customize a cutting tool online without having to speak to a company sales representative. The time to place an order for customized tooling solutions is reduced substantially as a result, which in turn reduces overall tool delivery time.

Cutting Tool Engineering's Ask the Grinding Doc columnist, Dr. Jeffrey Badger, addresses deflection problems where coolant meets the grind zone.

The way a machine is built affects the way it performs. With premium-quality components, high accuracy and attractive price points, the VF-Mill series is setting the standards for how to build vertical machining centers. With machines installed in more than 20 countries, the VF-Mill series has become the go-to machining center for the KAAST family of corporations.

The FSG-ADIV series includes the FSG-1224ADIV, 1632ADIV and 1640ADIV. The in-machine dynamic balancing system enables the adjustment of the balance weight at the wheel position while limiting wheel vibrations to less than 1 µm.
