Fire suppression systems keep CNC machines and shops safe from costly fire damage.n

Ceramic materials discovery could improve everything from medical devices to electronics.

The Grinding Doc addresses cylindrical grinding coolant and the affects of loading.

If you have assets—money, time, expertise, capability—there are people readying and willing to steal them.

The operation can produce a countless variety of components.

Automation for electrical discharge machines is well established, but refinements continue.

Methods Machine Tools' MH 320A horizontal machining center with its high-end components is no entry-level machine.n

Whether examining how tool selection impacts chips, how coolant plays a role in chip evacuation or looking at the size and shape of chips, chip formation says a lot about the application being run.

New motorized sliding axis, detector and detector holder gives it the ability to change the stylus angle, making it easier to perform inside diameter measurement of thick workpieces while avoiding interference. Roundtracer Extreme features best-in-class speeds with a maximum of 100mm/sec with improved positioning accuracy and greatly reduced positioning times compared with conventional models.

Hyperion's materials experts specially engineered grade AM110 to optimize the hardness, toughness and galling resistance required for machining superalloys in today's demanding industrial applications. Some of the targeted markets include aerospace, medical and energy, where quality and productivity are critical to manufacturing precision components.

The system comprises an ultra-compact RMI-QE radio interface with an updated communication protocol, as well as major updates to the complete range of market-leading radio transmission probes. The new enhancements deliver significantly improved battery life, simplified set up, and remote diagnostics to all radio probes.

AddForceBarrel uses inserts whose cutting edges have a large-radius arc of either 20 mm (.787″) or 30 mm (1.181″), designed for semi-finish profiling of 3D surfaces. Just like the TungMeister's barrel milling heads, AddForceBarrel provides much greater engagement area between the cutting edge and workpiece when compared with conventional ballnose end mills.
