Vargus, a global leader in threading, grooving, and deburring solutions, proudly introduces the FS Line—an economical range of fully sintered inserts designed to meet the needs of diverse industries. This new line includes 62 of the most popular profiles for both external and internal threading, available in various sizes and threading standards, including ISO Metric, American UN, Whitworth, NPT, BSPT, and API Round.

Currently available for Kyocera’s popular GBA external and SIGE internal grooving systems, the new PR20 Series ensures precision and longevity in every cut. The innovative multi-layered structure of MEGACOAT NANO EX not only increases the durability of the inserts but also maintains superior cutting performance throughout extended use. By optimizing the balance between hardness and toughness, these new grades set a new standard across a variety of grooving operations, helping machinists achieve consistent, high- quality results while reducing tool changeovers and downtime.

The jaws of the exceptional Bench Vise swivel 360° on the base and can lock in any position. Its unique shaped body houses the straight-line pull, super strong power tunnel that assures that the spindle and nut will never wear out. Made from 65,000 PSI ductile iron, the vise is 50% stronger than all gray iron vises and 20% stronger than competitive ductile iron vises.

The 30-tool magazine provides flexibility for milling and drilling applications. The machine accommodates BT-40 shanks and includes a precision cam drive that achieves ±0.08-mm (0.0032") positioning accuracy. The tool change arm is waterproof, preventing coolant from entering the arm during use. Users also have the option of adding a pallet changer to avoid the downtime associated with part loading and unloading.

ARIA’s Standard Base option is designed for various industry applications where flexibility and mobility are a must. The Machine Tool Base is designed for tending CNC Mill, Lathe, and Swiss applications. Both bases are suitable for Mitsubishi Electric collaborative, vertical/articulated, and SCARA robots. Included in the ARIA package is an FX5 PLC, an external 120V outlet, casters with jackscrews, a network switch with an external EtherNet port, an Operator station w/button pan- el, floor mounting brackets, and much more.

The T-shaped and L-shaped pins are available in pin diameter sizes of 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8". And metric versions of 5, 6, 8, 10,12 and 16mm. The grip length (usable length) measured from the bottom of the handle to the top of the locking ball ranges from 1/2" up to 6" and from 10mm to 100mm depending on the diameter. Three shank materials are available.

With enhanced thickness and speed capabilities, the XPR460 sets a new standard for precision and productivity. The system delivers superior performance in cut quality, thickness capacity, and cutting speeds. This innovative technology ensures consistent part quality from the initial cut to the last, delivering superior cutting versatility for mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

The M5250 cutter is effective for milling steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals (ISO P, K, M and N workpiece groups), as well as materials with difficult cutting properties. Unlike other full-effective helical milling cutters, the XTRA∙TEC® XT M5250 can also be used for full slotting, shoulder milling, pocket milling and ramping. The positive rhombic basic shape of the face insert makes ramping possible.

Dillon Chuck Jaws can provide both standard and special pie jaws in 1.5mm x 60°, 3.0mm x 60°, 1/16th x 90°, and 3/32 x90° serrations, American standard and metric tongue and groove, and acme and square serrated key type mounting interfaces.

FISCHER USA Inc. has expanded its repair services and exchange programs to include third-party spindle brands in the North American market.

Skiving tools can be used in a variety of gear applications including the production of ring gears, shafts with internal and external splines and splined shaft profiles. EMUGE-FRANKEN Skiving Tools have no restrictions regarding the material to be machined and are highly suitable for the soft machining of internal and external gears, as well as hard machining. The skiving tools can be used on turning/ milling centers with B or A axes (swivel axes).

Thomson miniature metric ball screws accomplish this with a unique multi-liner return system that maximizes the number of circuits and loaded balls in the nut. A miniature metric system with a multi-liner return system, for example, deploys 168 balls in eight circuits to support 7.6 kN of static load, as compared to a single-liner design, which would use 84 balls in four circuits to support only 4.2 kN. Maximizing the number of balls within a single nut also extends the life of the system by spreading the load across multiple points.

The EZ-AutoCart, part of Lyndex-Nikken’s EZ-Automation product line, easily automates CNC machine tending of CNC lathes, mills, and similar machines. The EZ-AutoCart machine tending solution enables machine shops to streamline machine tending with minimal effort; no-code automation empowers manufacturers to easily operate the EZ-AutoCart. Results include significantly boosting spindle time and enhancing overall machine efficiency.

The MaxiMill – 211-DC has 60% longer tool life compared to tools with standard cooling. Further, despite the complexity of the coolant holes inside the tool body, the MaxiMill – 211-DC is compatible with standard adapters with through-coolant supply without requiring any standard coolant on the chip breaker.

The MT-S spindle gripper allows continued machined cycles by picking and placing finished components in a temporary part loading tray located within the machining area. The MT-S is stored in the tool magazine like any tool and engaged at the end of each cycle allowing continuous machining until the part loading tray is full. Advantages of the new gripper are no additional floorspace needed, lower initial investment compared to robotics, and fast training without extensive programing.

As the only micro tool grinder with nanometer control, optimized mechanical layout and axes travel, integrated tool measurement and progressive automation, this six-axis grinder is the ideal solution for volume production of tools down to 0.03mm.

Designed for cutting tool manufacturers and carbide rod processors, this production machine can significantly increase your production rate for cutting carbide and hardened steel rod when compared with manual cut-off machines. It's easy-to-use CNC controls and touch screen operator interface allow for quickly setting parameters in preparation for hours of unattended operation.

The TC685 Supreme cutter is a left-hand cutting tool that features a 15° helix angle for excellent chip removal. Cooling with compressed air makes it possible to achieve maximum tool life in materials harder than 50 HRC. Additionally, internal coolant delivery is available for tools that create the M6 size through the larger thread sizes. The tool shank is in accordance with the DIN 6535 HA standard.

The MMC collet chuck is precision ground and pre-balanced to 30,000 RPM at G2.5 with runout accuracy of 3 microns at 4 times the diameter – ensuring accuracy and reliability during high-speed operations.

Versatile collector meets multiple industry demands and delivers unrivaled performance for its size. Developed by Donaldson to meet customer demand for an even more compact, convenient, and reliable filtration system for multiple manufacturing applications.
