Operation / Process
Toolholding & Workholding
Thermax II shrink-fit heating unit
Briney Tooling Systems' Thermax II is a compact induction heating unit for shrink-fit toolholders. It is suitable for inserting and removing HSS and carbide cutting tools from any design of shrink-fit toolholders, such as ANSI and DIN.
Steel Tombstones
STEVENS Engineering Inc. manufactures a wide variety of tombstones in sizes up to 40" square by 60" overall height and shapes ranging from rectangular, four-sided, Silo construction, triangular, hexagonal and octagonal.
1000 and 1100 Series Encoders
HEIDENHAIN Corp. now introduces new low profile incremental rotary encoders with block commutation tracks, especially suitable for use in small-dimensioned servo motors.
Presetting plus
Productive machining is all about keeping spindles turning and making chips. Time spent touching off tools, adjusting tool length and offsets in the spindle and doing test cuts is time—and money—wasted. That's the value proposition presented by manufacturers of tool presetters, and it's one that, surprisingly, is a bit of a hard sell in some shops.
V10Z31-… Series
A new series of damped-type spring mounts from Advanced Antivibration Components are designed for use in corrosive environments with loads from 150 to 750 lbs.
Automated Workholding, Fixturing, Conveying and Gaging
Machining process designers looking to increase their market advantage will find the answer with Kurt's integrated custom engineered systems.
GD5C2 Rotary Indexer
It may have a small footprint, but the Hardinge Inc., Workholding Division, GD5C2 rotary indexer packs a big punch.
