Machining

Ceratizit has added Carlos Garza as the company's new business development leader for the oil and gas industry sector.

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.

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.

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.

Mollart Machinery's production operations and field service support, previously based in Chessington, United Kingdom, will be based out of Bourn & Koch's facility in Rockford, Illinois.

Heule Precision Tools will feature its BSF tooling for automated high-volume back spot facing applications in IMTS booth #431364.

The new AM Type insert is designed for non-ferrous metal machining, featuring a sharp cutting edge achieved through ground peripheral surface and polished rake face to a mirror-like finish. This design reduces built-up edge during machining and ensures a high-quality, glossy surface finish.

The addition to the "TPW / EPW Type" series includes CBN inserts designed for high-speed cast iron finishing. In addition to the economical 2-corner standard insert, a wiper insert option is also available to achieve excellent surface finish. The insert grade is High-content CBN "BX480," which consists of densely bonded medium-grain CBN.

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.

An important production parameter is cobot uptime. To ensure seamless operations and increased efficiency, UR has launched the enhanced UR Care Service Plans that now offer preventive field service, onsite break-fix, dedicated remote support and secure cloud connectivity-based cobot service/performance monitoring through UR Connect.

The Through-Spindle Coolant (TSC) Kit and Mist Collector are designed to take CNC machining to the next level by offering enhanced air quality, superior efficiency and improved machine performance. n

The enhanced performance of the new ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500 is designed to help machine shops drive down cycle times with faster speeds and improved productivity. Additionally, with easy robotic integration tools with FANUC robots, automating machine tending is a breeze with FANUC ROBODRILL Plus.
