HELUKABEL announced that its NANOFLEX line of hygienic control power and data cables have been approved by UL and CSA.

Hardinge Inc. announces the release of two Bridgeport 5-Face (4+1) Vertical Machining Centers: the GX 250 5F and GXR 320 5F.

A pump on a waterjet machine generates the high-pressure water needed for cutting by taking low-pressure water into a cylinder, compressing the water with a plunger and then pushing the high-pressure water out of the cylinder.

All metals are not created equal. Therefore, neither are the machine tools for cutting them. Parts for extreme aerospace applications, such as in engines, landing gear and flap tracks, must be made of a heat- and corrosion-resistant metal, which typically has a high Young's modulus of elasticity and is difficult to machine.

Like most machine tool builders, Mori Seiki Co. Ltd. is focused on making its machines more energy efficient. In addition, the company is focused on making the factories that make those machines more energy efficient.

SICK announced the launch of the Frame Light Grids (FLG) for detecting and counting parts as small as 4mm in size.

Methods Machine Tools Inc. has introduced the new High Performance FEELER FVT-600 Vertical Turning Lathe, ideal for machining large, heavy, challenging parts including those used in aerospace and power generation industries.

A medical device manufacturer who has been using Creform Corp. built structures in its production facilities was faced with the problem of providing workstations for use in both its shipping and production departments to associates of various heights.

X-ray scanning a part with internal features is useful because it creates 2-D images of those features in a nondestructive manner. Industrial computed-tomography, or industrial CT scanning, which is based on X-ray scanning technology, takes it a step further by providing a complete 3-D view for internal and external analysis.

Methods Machine Tools Inc. has announced they have introduced the new FANUC RoboCut. C400iA and C600iA wire EDMs.

Methods Machine Tools Inc. has introduced the Nakamura-Tome NTJ-100 Multitasking Turn/Mill Center, which is well-suited for a wide range of production needs.
