Toolholders & Workholding

Kurt has launched the DX4 CrossOver Vise, a reduced size version of its successful DX6 CrossOver vise. Similarly designed to provide workholding strength and performance where flatness and parallelism are critical, this DX4 CrossOver vise answers machinists' needs for smaller workholding.

Dillon Chuck Jaws introduces an 18"-dia. boring ring. Its relatively light weight allows customers the same ease boring out 18"-dia. blank top jaws as is had when forming smaller diameters using the smaller boring rings.

ARNO dedicated sliding head auto lathe tooling offers high accuracy and reliable machining of all components, in all materials. This type of lathe often performs highly accurate machining of long, thin and often small components.

The idea of designing drills for higher feed rates by adding a third cutting edge is nothing new. However, due to the challenging chip evacuation, these tools have so far only been suitable for a few applications, such as machining cast iron. With a new design, the Hoffmann Group has now succeeded in harnessing the advantages of the three-flute drill for long-chipping steels and stainless steel materials.

From Vektek LLC, the TuffLink 360 degree adjustable link clamp provides full rotational lever positioning around a mounting flange.

Fixtureworks LLC offers TriMax production vises, which help users maximize a machine's potential with multiple-part clamping, quick-change components and easy adjustment, and TG GripSerts carbide gripper inserts, which are designed for ultralow-profile clamping with no dovetail workpiece preparation.

Kyocera Precision Tools Inc.'s KTKF-JCT through-coolant cutoff holders for small-parts machining work great with high-pressure coolant.

BIG KAISER announces its HDC Straight Shank holder to the market, used for increased versatility. The slim design provides superior balance, concentricity and is suitable for reaching into confined areas.

In many technical fields, ultrafine grinding is one of the tasks that gives the product its final polish – in the truest sense of the word. This applies equally to both precision and the visual appeal. SUHNER offers an innovative grinding, milling and polishing system, SUNmic 60.

With the new VM 9 modular turning machine, EMAG has introduced a platform that covers a broad spectrum of applications thanks to the combined turning, milling and drilling technologies and intelligent machine design. The highly accessible machining area and workpiece spindle fitted at the bottom ensure short tooling times and maximum flexibility in the production of workpieces in small series.
