Machining

SGS Tool Co. has expanded its S-Carb offering to include a new ballnose geometry, additional corner radius and reach options and larger diameters.

Eriez HydroFlow has introduced the Deep Bed Gravity Filter.

Shops turning a wide range of materials face extreme challenges daily. They know that the most efficient machining means finding the "sweet spot." Too slow may increase attention to detail but also increase opportunities from speedier competitors. Accelerating speeds and feeds may actually lower efficiency if you're using up tooling faster or stopping your turning center more often to clean out stringers.

Accudyne Corp.'s latest bar puller, called the BIG- EZ, has a range of 1.625" to 3.00".

Higher productivity through intelligent functions is an increasingly critical factor in the competitive ability of machine tools. Machinery manufacturers are therefore looking for ways to add new and unique functions while protecting their know-how at the same time. Open Core Engineering from Rexroth offers many such functional advancements with the CNC system solution IndraMotion MTX.

Fives says the new 5-axis, 5-spindle Cincinnati XP aerospace profiler lives up to its name, delivering "X-treme Productivity" in machining of structural aluminum parts.

Walter has introduced the Walter Prototyp Supreme MB265 and MB266 solid-carbide milling cutters, two new milling tools that boost productivity due to their high metal-removal rates, while also increasing process reliability thanks to design features that act to enhance stability while simultaneously decreasing the likelihood of microfracturing.

Walter USA LLC has introduced the M4000, a universal milling system that improves production while reducing tooling requirements, thus reducing costs.

Kennametal's NOVO digital process planning application has continued growing by supplying complete tool data (milling, turning, holemaking, tools, toolholders, spare parts, speeds and feeds, and much more) digitally, saving process planners, parts estimators, and manufacturing engineers hours of catalog lookups and process guesswork.

This July, Lucifer Furnaces provided a new Model 7GT-M24 Box Furnace to Quantum Machine Works Ltd. in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.

Late last year, Kennametal finalized its acquisition of the tungsten materials business from Allegheny Technologies Inc., including the full line of Stellram metalworking tools.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has completed the development of a new model in its best-selling "GE series" of dry-cut hobbing machines.
