Machining

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.

The INOX 2.0 wheels are designed for high performance when cutting and grinding high-value stainless steel parts. Premium aluminum oxide grains provide a smooth cut rate and consistent performance. Both Tiger Ceramic and Tiger INOX wheels are contaminant-free, so they are safe to use on high-value stainless steel parts.

Both machines have two spindles and three turrets – two upper and one lower – for unequaled DONE IN ONEÆ part processing opportunities and high-volume throughput in single setups. The drum-style turrets provide 12 or 16 tool positions and rotary tool capability.

All presetter models feature interchangeable spindles (CAT, BT, HSK, Polygonal Taper, etc.) thereby eliminating the need for adapters which introduce additional error. All units also come with fifty of the most common post processors for today's CNC controls. Advanced models incorporate an advanced automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement, ensuring zero backlash and optimal indexing.

The expanded Tiger 2.0 lineup, includes the Tiger Ceramic 2.0 and Tiger INOX 2.0 portfolio of cutting, grinding and combination wheels. Tiger Ceramic 2.0 cutting, grinding and combo wheels offer a superior combination of life and cut rate for maximum productivity.

The new Neutral AJ Type inserts for non-ferrous metals join this lineup. Like their right-hand counterparts, these new inserts feature ground peripheral surface and polished rake face with a mirror-like finish for sharp cutting edges. This prevents the built-up edges to the cutting edge during machining, and achieving a high-quality, glossy finish.

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.

HII, the McClean, Va.-based weapons developer, announced that its MissionTechnologies division was awarded a $209 million contract to support the development and sustainment of the U.S. Air Force's (USAF) fighter and bomber weapons systems and subsystems.

At the 2024 IMTS Show, EasyCMM will showcase its Chameleon retrofit CMM motion controller and Mediator CMM software at Booth #134750 in the East Building at McCormick Place, Chicago.
