Thordon supplies Ontario generating station WITH suite of bearings
Thordon Bearings is supplying multiple sets of grease-free bearings to completely replace old technology at the Otto Holden Generating Station on the Ottawa River in Ontario, Canada.
WEP01C Cermet Turning Indexable Inserts
Because of the ground chip breaker on these inserts, the inserts are handed (left hand and right hand insert), but these are standard ISO shapes and sizes- so they are held in conventional ISO turning holders. The inserts also use 'M' or maximum material condition tolerance on the corner radii of the cermet, thus allowing for machining of small radius shoulders while utilizing maximum (larger) corner radius strength. The primary application for the WEP01C cermet inserts is turning steels and cast irons (ISO P and ISO K material groups).
TRU TECH T93XM Perimetric Grinder
The T93XM can profile with a standard 1A1 wheel and accommodates several grind styles including wheel profile, plunge, peel, in-feed and thru-feed grinding. The perimetric workholding, unique to TRU TECH, ensures part concentricity to eliminate shank runout without indicating. Ultra-precision accuracy is achieved through the 3-axis, fully programmable configuration with CNC variable speed spindle. Pick-N-Place™ software eases and shortens programming setup time. Several design features add stability and further support operator ergonomic considerations. Part sizes can be 3" (75mm) in diameter, up to 8" (200mm) in length.

Heule’s back spot facing tools displayed at IMTS
Heule Precision Tools will feature its BSF tooling for automated high-volume back spot facing applications in IMTS booth #431364.
MILL P 800 U S
The MILL P 800 U S features a torque-motor driven rotary/tilt trunnion-style table that contributes to the machine's continuous full 5-axis simultaneous movement for smooth part surface contouring. The high-performance, high dynamic torque motor drives eliminate backlash (pitch and reverse errors), friction, wear and heat generation. This equates to increased rigidity, longer lasting accuracy and less maintenance, unlike worm or G-driven type tables that often require significant amounts of maintenance because of their inherent mechanical play.
