Toolholders & Workholding

Tsudakoma's RTT-111,CA, distributed through KOMA Precision Inc., is a high speed, drop trunnion, tilting rotary table that is engineered with workholding flexibility in mind.

Albrecht Inc. has renamed the Albrecht Power Chuck (APC) line of CNC milling tool holders as the Albrecht Uberchuck.

The new iLock fixturing system is available from Sandvik Coromant.

In robotics and automation technology, rotary encoders and resolvers serve on servo drives as feedback systems for position and speed control. An increasing number of applications require multiturn versions of absolute encoders that are low in cost and as sturdy as resolvers, but with features beyond what resolvers can provide. HEIDENHAIN's new EBI 1135 absolute inductive rotary encoder fits this bill.

BIG Kaisers HSK-A125 tooling system, for machines such as Makino's T2 and T4 models, is reportedly capable of tackling large-scale titanium and other workpieces on massive tables.

Hocut 400K from Houghton International is a heavy-duty, chlorine-free machining and grinding metalworking fluid that can be used with many machines, including bar machines, lathes, chuckers, and centerless and cylindrical grinders.

SCHUNK is introducing their new hydraulic expansion extension TENDO-SVL.

Newest diameter increases Royal Machine's Steel Bodied Manual VTL Large Diameter Chucks product range from 24 inches to 84 inches in diameter and are custom designed and built to customer requirements in the USA.

Designed for the production of tools, molds and high-quality parts, the GF AgieCharmilles Mikron HPM 800U HD 5-axis High Performance Machining Center features High Dynamics (HD) technology that delivers 1G machine acceleration rates for fast precision part processing and significantly reducing non-cut time.

A new multi-tasking turning/milling center has a variety of modular options that tailor it to exactly those functions that are needed for a user's range of parts. With two turrets, 8- or 12-stations each, one main spindle and an optional sub-spindle, Amada Machine Tools America says its new S-10 can do more in one loading, often with simultaneous machining from live spindles on each turret.

Meeting the motor industry's needs for a thin and robust rotary encoder for tight spaces is Leine & Linde's introduction of the 700 Series of encoders from Heidenhain.

Parts remain clamped if loss of air occurs when using the Hardinge failsafe collet block (closer).
