Machining

Sandvik Hyperion's BZN V-Series PCBN grades provide versatility in three key aspects of machining of hardened ferrous materials. First, the grades are able to work in case hardened, bearing steels, powder metal alloy steels, and tool steels.

Sandvik Hyperion's carbide grade AM70 is an advanced substrate developed to increase machining productivity and performance in titanium and ISO M materials. The AM70 grade is comprised of a combination of submicron carbide grains that provide the perfect mix of toughness and wear resistance.

Spectrum CNC Technologies announced the release of SmartTouch; the intelligent interface provides machine operators with easy touch screen access to multi-DNC files and serves as a feedback loop for job status information. Operators can report parts counts, downtime reasons and much more. Customizable "one-touch" buttons make feedback fast and easy.

Haas Automation's Next Generation Control (NGC) is the latest evolution of a user-friendly CNC. It reportedly features a significantly improved user interface, more consistent and intuitive navigation and vastly improved connectivity.

Small parts manufacturing can pose significant machining challenges for the average job shop. Tiny holes, minute features, extreme accuracies and fine surface finishes may prove difficult for larger CNC machines. Haas Automation's new CM-1 compact mill is a small-footprint, high-accuracy solution for the production and prototyping of small, high-precision 2D and 3D parts, such as those found in the communications, aerospace, medical and dental industries.

The CL-1 from Haas Automation Inc. is an ultracompact CNC chucker lathe that comes standard with an 8-station automatic turret, making it ideal for producing small, precision parts, such as those found in the communications, aerospace, medical and dental industries.

MK Tools solid-carbide round tools from Monaghan Tooling Group introduces new "Speed-Drill R4" geometry, reportedly offering unparalleled cutting speeds and unprecedented tool life when cutting gray cast iron, ductile iron and forged steel, which are popular materials in automotive engine and chassis components.

With the world of manufacturing undergoing major disruptions brought on by new market forces and technologies, Autodesk offers its portfolio of solutions for additive and subtractive manufacturing. The portfolio lets manufacturers take advantage of technology disruptions and improve competitiveness by creating higher quality products in less time with lower costs, according to the company.

ANCA offers the all-new 2017 TX7 Linear CNC tool and cutter grinder. Built upon the TX7+, the new TX7 Linear has been updated with ANCA innovations that ensure its users stay competitive as the production and quality requirements of precision CNC tool grinding become more demanding.

Kern Precision says its Micro 5-axis milling machine does not only tout its reliability and precision, but also the size of its footprint, the capacity of its palletized toolchanger, its plug-and-play capability, its power and its versatility in terms of the size of workpiece it can accommodate.
