Machining

A company running a centralized coolant system with neat oil seeks help from the Grinding Doc. The shop's oil supplier is promising great things if the shop switches to a newer oil product. But it seems like such a grand undertaking.

HEIDENHAIN announces the launch of the straight-cut CNC, the TNC 128.

ANCA has launched the EDGe erosion and tool grinding machine.

TCD (Total Cost of Design) and TCM (Total Cost of Manufacturing) are essential factors in maintaining a leading position in high-demand and competitive machine-tool markets worldwide. With one eye on the costs and the other on performance level, most of the machine-tool leaders have switched to the cubic concept, invented and developed by REDEX to enhance axis-drive global solutions.

A line of abrasive grinding wheels that grind fast to reduce discoloration and warpage on stainless steel while eliminating chatter is available from Rex-Cut Abrasives.

The latest version of REDEX' MSR TwinDrive dramatically simplifies the mechanical transmission system on large vertical lathes.

Walter USA LLC has announced a series of new insert geometries for turning that bring higher levels of productivity to a range of difficult applications.

Sandvik Coromant Co. has expanded the CoroMill 176 range of full profile hobs for spur gears, helical gears and splines to incorporate module 3-10 applications.

Hardinge Inc. began production of collets in the 1890s for use on bench lathes making parts for the watchmaking and lens industries. It is believed that the "C" designation for their first 5C collets came from the name of the Cataract waterfalls that could be viewed from the factory grounds of the Hardinge Brothers Co. in Chicago, where they manufactured precision Cataract bench lathes.

Walter Surface Technologies introduced the FLEXCUT MILL SCALE grinding wheel.

Shrinking batch sizes with larger varieties of parts and rising competitive pressure are increasingly leading to the demand for complete 5-axis machining, milling as well as turning, in a single set-up. To meet these demands HELLER Machine Tools introduced the CP 8000 5-axis milling and turning center.
