Junker demonstrates its pioneering spirit to use complete machining in rotor production. The JUMAT 6L 40-30 grinding machine works on complex workpiece geometries for rotor pairs in profile and Quickpoint machining in a single clamping process.

Emuge Corp. has introduced Innoform–Steel-M, a line of HSSE-PM taps for forming threads with improved surface quality, while increasing static and dynamic thread strength, in medium strength steels up to 44 HRC.

Hands-on and online learning bring growth opportunities. Programmers, operators and maintenance professionals can maximize results with a Siemens CNC to become indispensable on the shop floor and in their careers. Owners can maximize ROI in all areas of investment: machines, people and operations.

Seco Tools has introduced a modular toolholder system for manufacturers seeking to improve their productivity with Swiss-style machining. The system enables fast, easy and repeatable insert indexing and tool changes outside of tight machine work spaces. The QC (quick-change) Toolholders also feature Seco Jetstream Tooling and Jetstream Tooling Duo technology for optimal chip control, high-quality surface finishes and extended tool life.

The HH-30D Hybrid Hexapod was developed by ALIO Industries to address the inherent performance limitations of conventional hexapods. ALIO's patented 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) design seamlessly blends and takes advantage of the strengths of serial and parallel kinematic structures while avoiding their weaknesses.

Fastems Manufacturing Management Software (MMS) has proven to be a powerful solution for planning, forecasting, controlling, visualizing and monitoring automated manufacturing processes. The new MMS Domain, Work Cell Operations (WCO), makes it possible to include all manual production tasks, work cells and stand-alone machines in the IT-supported planning, control and monitoring of production. For this purpose, the solution can be used either separately for machines or manual workstations or in combination with an automated pallet and/or workpiece handling system.

Electrochemical grinding (ECG) solution provider Tridex Technology, a Glebar Company, provides a burr-free solution for grinding the teeth in arthroscopic shavers with its SG-1645 and SG-2060 burr-free electrochemical surface grinding machines.

As a cost-efficient answer to continually increasing demands on the absence of burrs and particulate cleanliness, Ecoclean has developed the EcoCvelox system. Its modular design allows a custom configuration and subsequent expansion, at any time, of equipment from a single source to provide a combined high-pressure deburring, cleaning and drying capability. Cycle times of only 15 seconds per pallet can be achieved.

PI adds to its compact A-311 line of low-profile planar XY air bearing stages. PI's U.S.-based air bearing R&D and manufacturing teams have created two new versions with travel ranges of 200mm x 200mm and 300mm x 300mm. Planar scanning stages are suitable for semiconductor inspection, laser marking, optical metrology and other precision motion applications.

Indexing plungers very often fulfill safety functions, but this isn't the only time when it is important to obtain feedback about their position. With the new series GN 817.6, JW Winco also allows automated status checks.

Heidenhain introduces a new mid-range high accuracy ring encoder that is suitable for position measurement applications that require high tolerance to contamination but do not demand the accuracy level of an optical encoder. This unique ERM 2203 is optimized to meet those needs and is a welcome alternative to the market.

Cortec Corp. announces that its popular and convenient Cor-Pak 1-MUL Pouches are available in 8- MUL format for eight times the corrosion protection volume previously offered. Cor-Pak 8-MUL Pouches work exactly the same as Cor-Pak 1-MUL, but instead of only protecting one cubic foot (28 L) of space, the Cor-Pak 8-MUL offers enough corrosion protection for ferrous or nonferrous metals packaged or stored in up to 8 cubic feet (0.23 m³) of enclosed space.
