Swage-Sert
Acme Industrial Co., a subsidiary of Jergens Inc., has announced a new thinwall threaded insert product line.
NBV 700 MT (Mill/Turn) Machine
Shorter cycle times are one way of reducing costs; another way to be more productive actually involves longer cycle times: complete machining in a single setup. Clamping a part only once means reduced costs for fixtures, less time spent on setups for different machines, while improving quality by avoiding reclamping errors. This is exactly where the new vertical milling machine from MAG comes"
mPower Workholding System
Fixtureworks offers the integrated mPower workholding system from Modern Industries.
Vertical Turning Center Grinding Attachment
A new automatically changed grinding attachment adds surface finishing to the one-stop processing capabilities of MAG's vertical turning centers, allowing finishing of ID, OD and plane surfaces on parts up to 4700mm (185 inches) diameter.
Beyond Blast inserts channel coolant through inserts
Kennametal Inc.'s Beyond Blast inserts channel coolant through the insert to the milling cutter/insert interface.
