Rush Machinery Sales Manager Doug Lewis highlighted the features of the CH-CM0206 Auto-Cut machine at the Rush booth during Eastec 2023, and noted that the machine is ideal for tool manufacturers and carbide rod processors. n

SW North America Inc. showcased its BA 322i that features 300 mm between two spindles as well as two worktables, with one being loaded and unloaded while the other resides in the work envelope.n

In addition to featuring its Cut F 600 wire EDMing machine and Mill S 200 U five-axis linear drive machine, GF Machining Solutions highlighted the micromachining capabilities of its Microlution product line. n

Dante Payva, regional sales manager for universal machines for GROB Systems Inc., detailed the features and benefits of the company's G550 horizontal, five-axis milling center along with a 10-position pallet changer that were on display during Eastec 2023.n

The TechniDrill 2.00-30-48 has a gundrilling diameter capacity of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a maximum gundrilling depth of 48 inches (1219 mm). It features a 30 horsepower AC spindle motor and two-speed gearbox to provide versatile gundrilling performance. The workpiece is counter-rotated via pneumatically operated 3-jaw chucks to increase the accuracy of the gundrilled hole.

Especially for milling aluminium alloys and plastics, Horn offers the indexable inserts with polished rake faces on all four edges from stock to counteract the formation of built-up edges. In conjunction with the positive chip breaker geometry, the sharp ground cutting edge produces a soft cut and high surface quality. The special grade is designed for use with the ISO N material group. The inserts can be used in all cutter body variants.

The basis for this innovative service is a dynamic stiffness analysis of the machine tool. The physical optimization phase (known as the 'tap test') can be accomplished with impulse hammers and accelerometers from Kistler; this is followed by an analysis of the customer's NC program, performed with new software from Productive Machines. All the acquired data is then processed to create a new NC program which, once installed, ultimately leads to better cutting performance, longer tool lifetimes and higher OEE – to name just a few benefits.

Cosen Saws V-1822 is an exceptional entry-level cutting solution that is simple and reliable. Ideal for workshops and small-scale operations, this saw is easy to use and allows operators to control the entire cutting process manually. Cosen Saws V-2026NC & V-2230NC represent a significant step up in terms of efficiency and productivity. These versatile band saws replace manual operation with easy-to-use semi-automatic features, making it an excellent choice for medium-scale industrial applications.

For many machining operations, the benefits of setting up a modern work cell justify the effort and expense.

The accuracy and simplicity of Vicivision's M2018 Techno measuring machine allows manufacturer better prioritize its time.

Jay Gordon, North American Sales Manager Saws and Hand Tools, for The L.S. Starrett Co., share tips on optimizing sawing processes. During an interactive Q&A conversation, Jay covers best practices for cutting challenging materials and offers tips on how to select the right band saw blade. He will also offer recommendations for what every operator should know before starting to make cuts.

The Palmgren High Performance Vertical Toolroom Band Saw's welded steel frame, solid cast iron table and infinitely variable speed drive give the #9683120 the rigidity and versatility needed to easily cut a variety of materials.
