ChipMaster Chip Control Software
INDEX has announced the release of ChipMaster, a new chip-control software that effectively manages chip formation during turning, facing, contouring and cut off operations in all materials, including soft alloys such as copper and brass. Working within the programmed machining cycle, the software allows shops to avoid stringy chips on every cut, making chip disposal less troublesome and surface finishes consistently superior.
Redax 2.0 Software
Cloud-based management software is helping CNC machining to design, test and produce tools faster and more accurately than ever before. ANCA has developed its own Redax 2.0 software package to network grinding machines to send and receive data.
CPX Linear Grinding Machine
The CPX Linear has a large working envelope and powerful grinding spindles to achieve high precision and productivity for blank preparation. Using the pinch peel method of grinding, it offers the same strength, rigidity and thermal stability expected from an ANCA tool grinder.
Droop+Rein FOGS HD and NEO Vertical Milling Centers
Starrag has announced a world first in Droop+Rein vertical milling centers with the launch of three new machines – led by the revolutionary Droop+Rein FOGS HD (pictured), "which takes heavy-duty cutting to the next level," and the evolutionary NEO update of four existing series machines.
Sprint Z3 Machining Head
Amazing, but true: Over one and a half decades ago, many engineering companies were dreaming of parallel kinematic drives that would be able to replace conventional fork heads in machine tools after a brief period of euphoria, involving a few conferences, plenty of journal articles and several tentative attempts with prototypes and machines, things settled down again.
Bumotec s191FTLR 7-Axis Turn/Mill Machine
Starrag has demonstrated over the years that the nonexhaustive list of applications performed on its model Bumotec s191FTLR 7-axis turn/mill machine is an evidence of Starrag's expertise in manufacturing complex parts in a single setup whatever raw materials used.
Heckert DBF 630 6-axis Machining Center
Starrag offers the innovative Heckert DBF 630 6-axis machining center with B over A trunnion table coupled with 45 kW (60 hp)/1,700 Nm (1,254 ft-lb) torque fully integrated U axes head to enable turning, as well as milling, boring, drilling and thread generation operations to be completed in a single setup.
LCS 305 5-Axis CNC Machine
Synova is launching a new CNC machine with full 5-axis capability to process complex 3D geometries. Applications targeted include the machining of industrial diamond employed in toolmaking, as well as various composite materials used in aviation. The LCS 305 offers enhanced accuracy, quality and speed with highly dynamic axes, water-cooled linear and torque motors, mineral casting machine bed and fully automatic offset calibration system.
Kellenberger 100 and Kellenberger 1000 Universal CNC Grinding Machines
Hardinge Inc. introduces the new Kellenberger 100 (pictured) and Kellenberger 1000 Universal CNC grinding systems. These innovative systems improve the precision and productivity for the most demanding range of machining applications. The updated functional and user friendly design elements on both of these systems allow you to have the control and performance you require.
