Milling

This full slot milling demonstration from Sandvik Coromant focuses on pitch selection for maximum metal removal.

Extremely sharp cutting edges and low-friction rake surfaces eliminate concerns over built-up- edge. Low friction machining also produces superior surfaces in finishing operations, such as reaming. Surface roughness of Ra 0,1–0,8 μm (0.0025–0.02 μ-in) is achievable – far superior to conventional carbide tooling.

Advent Tool and Manufacturing Inc., a custom manufacturer of thread and form milling products has announced a new facility and headquarters for its company. The firm, established in 1974 as a job shop serving the manufacturing industry, has opened its new location in Trevor, Wisconsin.According to the Milwaukee Business Journal, the company will lease about half of a new 50,000-sq.-ft. facility in the Salem Industrial Park.

The Turret Milling Machine guarantees rigidity for a lifetime of vibration free accuracy due to the extra fine Meehanite castings.

Mazak Corp. will unveil its Ez Series of machines and Mazatrol SmoothEz CNC at a Dec. 8 virtual event.

The simultaneous 5-axis machining of the HN80E-5X results in improved cycle times and machined surfaces of complicated and 3D curved components. A quick and easy 5-axis compensation function ensures high accuracy over extended periods. Five-face machining means a reduced number of setups and simplified fixtures for a substantially reduced changeover time.

The sharpness of these end mills reduces the occurrence of burrs, produces remarkable surface finish, and improves tool life to outperform the competition. S-Mills are available in 2, 3, and 4 flute designs with a range of diameters to cover a wide variety of applications (2 flute available in a 2mm dia.) and in 40, 45, and 50mm lengths that are ideal for automatic lathes.

Railway machine tool builder needed a robust 5-axis machine to ensure uptime, accuracy, and precision in cutter tool manufacturing

Since the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic, manufacturers have dealt with supply chain issues. In this Q&A, two industry leaders discuss the pandemic, the supply-chain and bringing manufacturing back to U.S. shores.

he HARVI I TE ball nose end mill is available in two different lengths, both with a diameter range from 2 to 20 mm (1/16" to 1"). The regular length is the first choice for 3D copy milling operations, while the long version offers sufficient length-of-cut (up to 4sD) for many applications, including shoulder milling when wall and floor finishing is required. n

The intuitive nature of ToolBot allows programmers and machinists alike to enter four simple pieces of information – end mill, material, cut type and machine limits – into the online program, and ToolBot does the rest, explained Osburn.

DrillForce-Meister uses exchangeable drill tips designed to efficiently open large diameter holes ranging from 20.0 mm to 40.0 mm (.787″ – 1.575″) at a lower cost.
