Building on the scanner's advanced color-capture capabilities, the 2022 Leo has algorithms to automatically adjust the brightness level when scanning, providing true-to-life evenly lit color 3D models without the need for manual correction. The new texture optimization algorithm has reduced the size of the texture by 2x, making it faster to process and load data for creating 3D color models.

In a floor space of less than 2.3 sqaure meters (24.8 square feet), the cost-efficient HELITRONIC G 200 offers tool grinding at its best. Grinding and re-sharpening of rotationally symmetrical cutting tools ranging from 1 to 125mm (0.039" to 4.92") in diameter with a grinding wheel up to 150mm (5.91") is possible. The HELITRONIC G 200 can accommodate a maximum tool length of 235mm (9.25") and a tool weight of up to 12 kg (26.45 lbs).

ANCA recently launched "The ANCA Academy," a series of videos that cover a different technical topic each month. The second video in the series is called "Machine Basics: Starting Up Your Machine Before Grinding."

The unit accommodates different height applications with an available 13 inches of stroke, 1,300 lbf. of thrust and spindle speeds of up to 3,000. Using an HSK style spindle adapter, operators can use a variety of HSK tool holders. The sturdy cast iron frame, linear rail system, and precision ball-screw feed system provide a solid foundation for any application, from light roughing to finishing.

HEIDENHAIN's programming stations are based on the same software foundation as its CNC controls, thus making them ideal vocational training tools to give students the confidence they need to program in the manufacturing world. HESP's learning materials include practical course supplies for explaining complex topics, as well support posters for the classroom.

Eriez named Eric Nelson as vice president-international operations and business development.

The adapter is made of 304 stainless steel and measures 1.498" X 1.825" X 3.188" (38.049mm x 46.355mm x 80.975mm) overall length. The adapter is turned on a Yama Seiki turning center and finished machining on a Bridgeport manual milling machine.

In many industries, new and enhanced products lead to high cleanliness specifications. Due to changed manufacturing, joining and coating technologies and more stringent regulatory specifications, there are stricter requirements for particulate and film-type part cleanliness.

Standard parts and components are as vital to engineering today as they were in the mid-twentieth century. The main changes in the industry have been the technology that has enabled faster design and manufacture, enabling greater productivity.

H.B. Carbide, a manufacturer and global supplier of carbide blanks and pre-forms, launched a website full of interactive tools that help guide customers in their carbide blank and pre-form purchasing decisions.
