Milling

Tungaloy expands its TungMeister series of interchangeable milling head system, to include 4-flute cutter heads with high-feed capability.

Tungaloy introduces CeramicSpeedMill for efficient milling of heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs).

BallRoughNose is the latest development in Tungaloy's indexable milling technology for efficient and reliable rough profiling of curved surfaces.

Emuge Corp. has introduced advanced Threads-all ZGF-S-Cut solid-carbide thread mills featuring multiple teeth, a helical flute form and multiple-layer TiAlN T46 coating. The new ZGF-S-Cut thread mills increase tool life over 10 times more than conventional tools and produce precise threads in exotic materials including Inconels, nickel-based superalloys, monel, titanium, 420 stainless steel and more.

The introduction of a specific 5-axis tilt control strategy, combined with a barrel cutter, is said to be the most significant enhancement in the latest release of EDGECAM, from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence's Production Software division.

The new cutter ensures high productivity and economy

A new pipe beveling tool with an operating range from 4.5" ID to 24" OD that requires only one mandrel and 10 clamps for the entire range of the tool has been introduced by Esco Tool. The Dictator II MILLHOG Pipe Beveler uses one mandrel and a set of three wide clamps that provide six points of contact on the pipe ID, resulting in rigid mounting and chatter-free beveling for a given pipe size range.

Technology has not removed the need to master calculations.

HEIDENHAIN announces the new Positip 8016 digital readout (DRO) with touch screen for manual machine tool applications. With its sturdy machined aluminum housing, this DRO promises to add reliability and ease-of-use to its milling, drilling, boring and turning jobs.

Kyocera's DRV Magic Drill series can accomplish a radial offset to drill larger than the existing tool.

It is no secret that e-mobility is a growing market. A current study by the consulting firm Strategy Analytics, predicts the production output of "electric vehicles" will increase to 25% of the global market by 2025. It should be noted that the study uses "electric" as an umbrella term that covers all aspects of e-mobility, i.e. hybrids, fuel cell drives, and pure electric vehicles, and that the markets are highly heterogeneous. It is expected that 50% of the production will take place in China, and the other 50% will be throughout the rest of the world.

Tungaloy's TungForce-Rec, a new miniature shoulder milling series, features a unique clamping system offering exceptional stability in machining small pockets and slots.
