Eurotech Elite’s Trofeo BMX Series delivers dual spindles at 10K RPM, 15 HP driven tools, and 15-station turrets supporting up to 110 tools. The Trofeo BMX features a direct-drive turret system, which is a tool-holding mechanism designed for rapid indexing, high precision, and maximum rigidity in multi-axis CNC turn-mill centers. The system gives the user […]

What about parts or shafts that need to both run true and have multiple features that run true to the others?

When discussing advanced cutting materials, we usually mean CBN, PCD and ceramic.

Shops new to automation can start with turning. Simple tools like bar feeders, tool monitoring, redundancy, and probing create stable, unattended processes.

Broaching evolves with rotary, single-point and CNC-driven tools, plus cleaner electromechanical machines—delivering faster cycles, higher accuracy and lower costs.

Manufacturers must close widening skills gaps through automation, structured training and global knowledge-sharing to build a stronger 2026 workforce.

NASA Glenn engineers created 3D-printed vibration-damping inserts that boost machining accuracy, cut cleanup time and improve prototype manufacturing efficiency.

The QTE-200 MSY CNC Turning Center from Mazak was built for speed, precision, and reliability, the company says. The QTE-200MSY's integral 20 hp (15 kW) turning spindle reaches a maximum speed of 5,000 rpm, and the machine processes part diameters up to 13.39" (340 mm) and has a bar diameter capacity of 2.56" (65 mm).

Mazak is unveiling its QRX-50MSY CNC turning center at the company's Discover 2025 event, Oct. 6-10, that provides manufacturers the speed and versatility for high-volume production of small, intricate parts in a compact, affordable machine.

Lyndex-Nikken, manufacturer and provider of high-performance machine tool accessories and machine tending solutions, announces the appointment of Michael Ricketts as Product Manager - Automation, and Dwayne Perkins as Service Manager - Rotary Tables.

A shop turned to WFL Millturn Technologies for a mill-turn machining center capable of reducing setup, lead and machining time when producing worm shafts.

For high-speed and high-precision turning in a space-saving design, the Mazak Corp. QTE-100 CNC turning center with a 6" chuck can process parts up to 11.42" in diameter. The QTE-100 features a built-in motor spindle designed to deliver high torque, even at low speeds, for enhanced cutting capacity.
